Yes more or less. However, I expect to be in better company (for a while at least) than the riff raff that I normally associate with.

Yes, Biffen can be unsettling.

I've already added 300 doses of LSD to their gatorade supply.

If we lose it will be on a sub-conscious level,but I expect Jack Steven and co will be looking for buttercups and daisies in the grass by half time.

We were somewhere around the f50 line when the drugs began to take hold...

So will you guys be watching the game on Foxtel..........ask Squirrel how many goals will Jessie Hogan kick today.

[Redleg 41,942]

Interesting story on the club website, that Saints Captain Geary's fiancee Emma, is former Demon, Peter Giles' daughter.

[DubDee 26,306]

4 games on Sat and none starting by 4:30. Not a fan of that. Sat arvo games might be a thing if the past soon. Bigger tv rating but less crowds. 2 o clock is good for families

[dazzledavey36 55,867]

Reading the Saints board it does look quite likely that Paddy McCartin will be the late withdrawal and Acres to come in.

McCartin has been underwhelming all JTL series but Acres was a player that carved us up last year..

That could work in our favour but only the Macs at the back. 

Imagine the media if it was melbourne dropping a number 1 draft pick for round 1! I'm sure pat won't cop that

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Its Time!!!!. It's time to win at Etihad, it's time to beat beat the Saints and it's time to give us fans something to really cheer about. It's time to just get out there and do it.

In which case perhaps we'll be in for a re-enactment of Aldous Huxley's aptly titled essay "The Doors of Perception: Heaven and Hell".

other than absolutely dominating an understrength carlton, mccartin did nada all preseason.

acres tore us apart last time.

edited to add that i am sooooooooooo freaking nervous about this game. i'm excited too, but more excited for the start of the cricket.

Unusually, am heading along solo today.  Have a level one seat in section 48 but will watch from standing room somewhere with a beer or two in hand.  Let me know if any Demonlanders are are of a like mind - there's safety in numbers so I'm told....

I just watched that 6 times. Never gets old.

Just watched the highlights from round 1 last year. Geez Jack Watts was the match winner in that last quarter. Big mark and goal. Great hard lead up to centre half forward, turns and hits Hogan lace out for another goal. And then of course bustling through multiple tackles to set up VDB for the winner. More please.

Kick started his year too. Let's hope he and a few other Demons can do the same today.

2:10 on a Sat arvo IS football.

Everything else is a bastardisation really. (esp the AFL  )

A few things to remember before today's game:

Yes, the Saints will kick a goal at some stage.  There's no need to act like the world is caving in.  They may even kick two in a row, but that's no excuse to claim we're the 'same old Melbourne from 2013' and that 'nothing has changed'.

Yes, we will also make a turnover or two.  Every team does it, even the Doggies.  It's no need to act like a child and embarrass yourself on a forum.

If you can remember these two golden rules, not just for this game for the season ahead, then the game day threads won't resemble the sewer that it often does.
