Nervous. Very. Very. Nervous. 

I don’t have a good feeling about today and the miserable Melbourne weather isn’t helping. 

Go Dees!

Indeed. I have a negative feel about today as well but I have been wrong many times.

 

Melbourne is now paying $1.17 and Port is out to $4.60. Feels a lot closer than that to me.

Have they made the call to take Ryder out of the game maybe?

Leaving sunny Ballarat now to head down to the G. Its raining?

I think we will win but might be close. Go Dees

Unusual for a dees supporter to be negative. Who’d have thought.

Well ...yes ...certainly on special occasions. Maybe a tad ostentatious for the footy.


I'm pumped!

Dropped the girl at gymnastics.

Dropped the dead fridge and two out of date gas cylinders at the waste recycle centre so I feel I've done stuff.

One of the non-dead fridges is full of home brew and I am ready to start working on the footy season a.s.s. groove on the couch...bring it!

I can't believe we are at game day round 1. 

Lets hope we get off to a much better start than our last game we played. 

I just hope we win well and it's not close in the final minutes. 

Looking forward to see Maxy dominate and see how our forward line looks without Hogan.

Hopefully the weather clears. I know we are in desperate need for rain, but not today. 

Come one deees get it done. 

Let's roll DEMONS

Any win is a good win today being Round 1

Could be 100 points or 2 points

Just win

Win it for Max, Win it for the Club Members, Win it for yourselves.

Believe that you can win every quarter...

Go in hard...

 

 

 

Fox Footy apprentice at it again.

Can't believe this is really happening. 2019!

I'll be comfortable with a 35 point win considering we're underdone. Otherwise I'm tearing up the joint.

Also, can someone help me with the time difference - do I really have to wake up at/not go till bed till 4am to watch from Europe?

After a shortened preseason for a number of our better players and poor preseason form I will be happy with a one goal win. We are lucky not be starting the year at Geelong or we would start 0 and 1.

A couple of mm is max. Will be excellent ground condition by 1.45. Heat will be the problem not rain.

Blood y hell has it started?

Would not be surprised to see a scratchy start from us. Nothing really stood out in the JLT. The betting odds are way over the top and are bathwater drinking inducing.  Should be closer than pundits think. I predict an ugly win by less than 20 points.

If it’s good enough for Alexander Downer and some Supreme Court judges.........

I wouldn’t worry about JLT form, you watch our intensity lift, especially with Viney in the middle.

Throw in Gawny's 100th game.

Game day baby!!!!!!!

Yep that’s my theory too. Our game plan only really works with 95% effort from everyone. Contested footy. It falls apart with the 75% effort brought in the JLT matches. 

As long as we step up, it may be ugly, but we will win

Aren't you in Melbourne?

Can someone make the case for why Hore is playing ahead of others like Petty today?

I was generally pretty unimpressed by Hore's preseason performances.  Didn't think he contested that well to win the ball and also thought he was pretty untidy with his disposal at times.  But I guess the coaches were happy with his form and performances otherwise he wouldn't be out there.

Perhaps it was about him completing the defensive assignments set for him well, which doesn't nessasrily come across on the telecast?

Can someone elaborate?

Hore is a pretty handy mature aged intercept marking defender , will give us good coverage for the likes of Lever who is still 5 weeks away.

UPDATE

the north has been surprisingly kind to this Dees supporter! Several MFC types doing morning shopping at Norflands, knowing nods. 

Then Only had to go 2 stations on bus, now getting a train from Bell. Carriage with a smattering of Dees fans. Just had a chin wag with a toothless, neck-tattooed Dees fan from Epping. 

Good times! 

CARN THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
