So we shouldn't have to play them twice due to ladder positions last year. How come we always play them over there ?Ā It's like always having to playing at Geelong every year.

    Yep, time to shine lads! Get fit, prepare thoroughly and with purpose. Stay out of the media spotlight. Go over there, exorcise the demons of September 2018, but most importantly just get the 4 points! It is a marathon, not a sprint, but what a brilliant opportunity to make a statement! Go Dees!

    Here I was thinking itā€™s been ages since we played the Eagles at the G.

    I actually think if we win this and go on to have a good season, itā€™ll be like lifting the curse that was placed upon us at this venue during a Saturday afternoon inĀ September 2018.

    We start winning games regularly, then we dictate or fixture.Ā 
    Right now we take what we are given, 2019 was a shambles

    Spot on SWYL, it is easy for the AFL to treat s poorly after the crap we dished up in 2019.

    With no injuries / poor preseasons I believe we can beat the weagles, we did it in 2018 why not 2020?

    The only time I remember playing them there in round 1 we only kicked 3 goals and got trashed but the next week we won by over 100 points I think. Against fitzroy ??. Not looking forward to it.

    I actually don't mind playing west coast r1. It gets that trip out of the way and Id rather do it early on then towards the end of the year. We have been petty lucky to play r1 at home the past few years.Ā 

    I expect the boys to be pumped and ready r1. If they aren't there is a problem.Ā

    Then we are running tired for the rest of the season while everyone else is still fresh

    Knowing this team we will win this and lose to Gold Coast at the G in week two.

    Gold Coast are better to avoid early in the season, they are normally okay for the first part of the season.

    Lol. I thought [censored] teams get soft draws usually. Looks like the AFL want north to get pick1 next year.Ā

    Obviously not ideal, but there are a couple of things in our favour...

    1. Better preparation time. Ā Top teams of 2018 all struggled in the opening couple of rounds this year against teams that had longer preseasons.

    2. We actually have a decent record against WC over there compared to most:

    2016: WCE by 6. (Dominated but weā€™re inaccurate- should have won)

    2017: MEL by 3. (Close all night- great goal to win)

    2018: MEL by 17. (Depleted Eagles but we dominated play all day)

    2018: WCE by 66. (Canā€™t recall the details)

    2019: WCE by 19. (Led all nightĀ until last quarter fade-out)

    3. Iā€™m predicting the Eagles to slide in 2020.Ā

    We kicked 2 goals

    My only trip to the west was the round one game where we kicked 2 goals 8. If this is to be our only visit to the House of Boooooo nextĀ year then I'll take it.Ā

    Had to be due to play interstate in Round 1. No tougher assignment imo. Though finishing 17th gives you no right to ask for favours. Ā Itā€™s us against the world in 2019. Ā

    • WHATā€™S NEXT? by The Oracle

      Whatā€™s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facingĀ Ā intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, itā€™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.Ā

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourneā€™sĀ 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
