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Dropped the dead fridge and two out of date gas cylinders at the waste recycle centre so I feel I've done stuff.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

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
