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    Dropped the dead fridge and two out of date gas cylinders at the waste recycle centre so I feel I've done stuff.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

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
