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?

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old sideā€”the Tigersā€”coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Ā Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningĀ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
