Ā 

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?

    I canā€™t wait to see the rest of the draw. We are going to be screwed big time this season.Ā

    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

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sundayā€™s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when itā€™s over.Ā  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competitionā€™s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demonsā€™ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fieryĀ interaction between Max Gawn and Steven MayĀ at the end of the gameĀ was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneā€™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 Kingā€™s Birthday.
