A few years ago, I went through the Straits of Dardanelles and sailed past Gallipoli. The morning was calm and serene and the place where fierce battles were fought was silent. It felt surreal to think of what had transpired there. Sport and war are two entirely different things but I have to admit that I have that same surreal feeling today.

    Me too WJ, and a similar result in a sporting sense will unfold tonight.

    Brace yourself. This is going to be interesting to see what we bring.

    Game day or Shame day?

    At a minimum I want the team to exhibit some fighting character and courage to honour the Anzacs.  2 soldiers were in talking to the club, lets see what rubs off.

    I will be stuck in another event until about 1/4 time and will be looking at the app.  The service at the start is a highlight, and will miss that part.  Not so sure what I will miss for the rest of the night.

    Go Dees.  Wishful thinking - we break down their system and win by 32 points.  Reality - (god help us)

    Went to the game 2 years ago when Trac was hobbling, Gawn was out and Smith bdly injured putting his body on the line. We were up in the 3rd but Roo put on a show and our injuries made a difference.  We were hard and tough. 

    Seems many many years ago.  Not confident  to say the least.

    Call me insane, but I think it will be a pretty competitive game.  We generally match up pretty well with the Tigers and there is still plenty of talent and ability in our side.

    I'm not sure we can win and play good footy for long enough, but I don't see it being a blood bath.

    Apparently not but I guess its needed.

    Well Goodwin has promised a better performance. 

    I honestly believe Lynch & Riewoldt will pose no threat to us tonight. We have them covered.

    Should be a fantastic night for Dees fans!!!

     

    Tigers by 113

    It was a gutsy performance that night, simply ran out of legs after dominating for the first 3 quarters and should have been up by more than 20 at 3 quarter time. We also lost Spencer during the second quarter and Mr Watts was rucking again. 

    Just make it tough again for them where they have to earn their goals all game. Toiges fans have become arrogant, want to see them shuffling in their chairs for as long as possible.

    This team has lost any and all credibility it earned last year, and not one thing gives me any confidence they’ve got any idea how to come back in any meaningful way. I fear it’s gonna get very ugly on the biggest night of this club’s year, and if we’re not considered an embarrassment already, tonight will nail home our shame good and proper.

    Would love to see some on analysis on the correlation between the pre-game pesimism of demonland against game day performance of the team..

    Dees to win.

    Going tonight with zero expectations. Would just like to see a good game of football and some resemblance of a Melbourne brand.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
