The dawn breaks and we're first up today at the MCG.

Our opponent has an extraordinary number of top 20 draft choices on its list but, as we well know, that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

This game is at our home and, as much as we broke a hoodoo when we beat them in our last game at Etihad, it's time to reclaim the MCG as our home against these northern invaders.

So jealous of everyone who gets to watch today. 

First game of the season is always so exciting, the hope it brings is like no other. 

Hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow to a great first win and some delightful highlights of Oliver kicking 4 goals.

Go Dees!!!

I have that nervous first day of school feeling I used to get as a child. So much potential and promise for the season ahead.

Gotta hold the influence of Shaw. He starts so many of their attacking waves.

And Nathan Wilsons run out of the backline too.

Best to keep your sugar/alcohol levels up .

I don't want your energy to peak or decline before acceptances.

My foxtel dosent get here till the 4th of April (if its on time) so it's Corowa's anual Easter Saturday Billy kart races for me. Believe it or not it will probably get more heated down Sanger St than at the G today, lots of swearing and throwing bottles, its a great family day

My childhood was much the same-sans the billy carts.

Wish I could be there. Sounds far better than being at the G.  :-/

Got woken by the girlfriend after very little sleep. She wants to go and look at houses to buy. Adam's got a short fuse now and he's writing in third person, so we'd better hope the MFC put up a good showing, otherwise it's going to get messy in the MCC.

I am predicting Jesse Hogan to redeem himself in a huge way, 14 marks, more than half contested and 6 goals straight in a dees 27 point win.

Is swearing and bottle throwing mainly by the kids on this family-friendly day? Or is it more an all-in event?

These days the swearing is from the kids, some of the things I hear out of teenagers mouths is disgusting

Go you good team,

Tear'em a new one Dees, Ward off these northern pretenders.:)

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
