Round 1 was fantastic footy across the board.

Looking forward to Round 2, particularly as we could see us sitting 2-0 and Geelong sitting 0-2 (i come from that way, so the hate is huge as their fans are painful bandwagon jumpers).

Also, please leave your praise for me below, as i have created a Game Day thread. Thanks H_H.

    While we're all at it, I think I'll make a thread anticipating the thread that Round 3 has happened.

    AFL tradition dictates that by the end of round 1 at least one coach must be under the gun.

    This year it's Mick Malthouse whose neck is already on the line and it's not helpful that his most vocal critic is a former Carlton great ~ Mick Malthouse shouldnt be re-signed by Carlton as coach, says Mark Maclure.

    Not only are Carlton people trying to take the Micky out of their coach, they want to take Micky out of Carlton.

    He might get some respite on Friday night because the Blues take on the Eagles who have lost a big chunk out of their defence already and Carlton has a good record at Subiaco but I suspect that the pressure will continue to mount as the season unfolds unless there's a sudden turnaround in form.

    Mick Malthouse says Channel 7 and network reporter Mark Stevens have an agenda against him

    But the other clubs have taken a chunk out of their forward line.

    Why don't we all start Round 2 game day threads? At the end of the day we can total up the number of replies in each and declare the winner the most popular poster on Demonland (for the week).

    I hope Hawthorn absolutely obliterate the drug cheats by over a hundred points, to keep the demoralising culture at Windy Hill intact.

    Love that the AFL tried to rig the fixture with the expectation of a topup team playing the early parts of the season, only to end up giving their full team the hardest start to the season one could imagine.

    I haven't had a look at Essendrugs fixture, but is it possible they have "drawn" the harder team's first because the AFL knew they'd have the cheats good to go for the first month or so, and then when the stand-ins are required they get an easier run? Like they had us and GWS in the NAB, and then round 1 &2 last year's cup winners and runners up back to back?

    Reckon this will be a tough round to tip.

    Hawks the only certain thing in my book...

  • Quote

    cant wait for the Hawk Bombers game

    Hawks by 100 and Hird to get booed so bad he considers walking away from the game

  • Quote

    Should be some good footy this weekend, with the Richmond-Bulldogs, Port-Swans, Coll-Adelaide and Freo-Geelong matches all shaping up as potentially great games.

    What a shame to have the round kicking off again with a second-rate club like Carlton. Hope they get thumped tonight and Mick and Stevo get in a punch-up at the post-match presser.

  • Quote

    Carlton look like getting smashed tonight. I need popcorn.

    Not sure about that (hope youre right though)

    While Calrton do suck, the Eagles wont be much better this season and are missing their 2 best key defenders

    Early running says I don't know what I'm talking about.

    It's actually been a good game to watch so far. Neither side will factor in the finals this year but at least we've seen a few goals early on for a change.

    I bought a Demons Digital membership but it seems to work all the time - get on it!

    Is it cheaper than the AFL live pass?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
