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    Dropped the dead fridge and two out of date gas cylinders at the waste recycle centre so I feel I've done stuff.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

    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.

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

    Bottom line. Top 4 teams don't lose these games.

    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!!!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
