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

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0ā€“4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
