    This is brilliance from Collingwood.... they know it will be their home game, and that so many MFC supporters will be wanting revenge, it practically guarantees a 70k+ crowd.

    Great for both teams actually. 

    Must happen.

    Make it a Friday night game as well. I'd be coming over for this one.

    Revenge?

    Bulldust.

    Win round 1 by 10 goals in 2018.  Great.  Doesn't do a single thing to eradicate the last round in 2017.

     

    About time this club, and its supporters stop looking at external irrelevant factors like curses, luck, and seeking artificial fleeting feel-good moments like 'revenge'.  Yes, we didn't have continuity with injury.  But we stuffed up from an on-field viewpoint (North, Freo etc..) and I reckon it wasn't our best year from a medical point-of-view either.  Viney's return in 2 weeks post-surgery was heroic, but I wouldn't call it smart.

    God I hope so! I'd love to see our boys come out ruthless and breathing fire and make the pies doubt the decision to re-sign bucks right away

    And yet, despite your bluster, MFC fans will attend this game in droves if it happens.

    Whether it is that round or not, I want and expect to exact 'revenge on this mob when we get them next. Won't do anything to make up for it but I want and expect it anyway

    Really, revenge etc. it's what we are doing at season end and finals that matter. Taking revenge on Collingwood means nothing if we flunk the end of season test.  

  • Quote

    Revenge? Does it make up for the pitiful effort last weekend. 

    Our team would have lost to most teams outside of the 8 with their attitude.

    I see no solace in having a win against collingwood in round 1 and neither should the players. Only solace will be to storm into finals next year.

    The AFL likes fluffy made up rivalry games, how about adel v melb r1 - Lever meets old club, and old tankers meets new tankers. Also if we were adrlaides hardest opponent, this makes it the real '17 grand final. :laugh: (im kidding btw)

    a good idea, though i think that at least once a week after training between now every player has to sit down watch the replay of that last game, i know i replay it in my head often enough.

    In particular, all but a select few running around the contest like ring a ring arosy rather than making the contest, rather hoping that one of their team mates will make a tackle.

    They are a fickle bunch, if we happen to win they will crawl back under their rock and go back to requesting somebody else like I don't know maybe the tigers again if they are looking a little weaker. 

    Sure take it after all it's better than playing in the [censored] like Darwin, god damn Blundstone etc but just know that as we improve they will go looking for an easier beat next time around when we smash them.

    Bring it on. If this were to happen it would give our players motive too maybe want to win and win big.

    We can't turn back the clock and change what happened, what's done is done; and like every other Dee's fan out there it bloody hurts like hell; we how ever use this loss as motivation to improve as club and never ever go through such heart tearing end to a season. On ward and up ward.

    From a purely marketing pov it  would be a MASSIVE win for the footy club to play the pies round 1. Hope it happens.

    The line from the Sun:

    collingwood have requested a blockbuster game against melbourne...

    think about the last 10 years and you'll realise how far mfc have come

    Love it, bring it on 

    Allows us to keep QB as home game while entering a gate sharing agreement with the Pies. Locks in a return game against them every year and guarantees another game at the G (plus starting our season at the G).

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
