    4 of the last 5 in WA against the Eagles, take out the 18 Prelim and it was only bad kicking in 16 and this year which cost us 4 points in both games 

    I look back on that first game and think that if we'd kicked straight whether a bit of confidence would've seen our season be at least a little better.

    Definitely should've won both games.

    Imo A win in the first round will be great and unexpected but a loss could be the first nail in goodies coffin (depending on how we lose).

    'Just bring it on we will do well l am sure of that . We have picked up 2 quality interstaters that wanted to be at our club and that is a good sign. We have a chance for a great preseason certainly due.

    Tmac, Jetta, and a fitter May and Lever also a refreshed Hannan, Vanders and the list goes on  Hopefully we are on our way to a great 2020 season. I am not wishing l am expecting it, the list is there.

    And what is the betting that they will allocate those WA umpires to ru(i)n the match?

    The win in Perth in R1 will be the perfect launchpad for our Deenasty. (Not Dee nasty.)

    Can't complain about going interstate in Round 1. Gets one road trip out of the way early at the very least.

    That's a good point. We will be as fresh as we are going to be all season.

    If we only play them once then obviously a pity it is in wa. But if we play the twice then good to get it out of the way early.

    That said let's hope we get an easier game round two. Imagine the is goodwin the  right coach? thread if we started  0-2!

    If the AFL was in charge of the Melbourne Cup, they'd put the most weight on the slowest horses.

    If we are serious about the 2020 season then Round 1 against WC has to be a must win. (Yes all games are a must win) but this one creates the foundation. It wouldn't be a test if it was Gold Coast at the G for R1.

    Confirmed and unconfirmed round 2 matchups:

    Sydney V Essendon (Friday night SCG) (confirmed)

    Carlton V Collingwood

    Brisbane V North (Gabba)

    Fremantle V

    Port Adel V

                     V GWS

                   V  Adelaide

                   V West Coast

    My tip for round 2 is Hawthorn, GWS, GC or Bulldogs at the G rd 2.

    Good point. If we do lose a fighting loss will be important.

    And if we win, it is a great start and builds confidence.

    Our recent record over there is good. Their old geezers will be that much older...ripe for picking. Could be a huge win. At the least I'd expect a massive effort pushing them to the line.

    Waiting for the backlash over the solitary game on Anzac day given it's a Saturday.

    Probably means there will be a Thursday game and maybe two Friday night games including ours.

    Not great for the MFC finances or sponsors

    How will this affect the crowd at the Friday Eve Anzac game?

    Any other (if scheduled and I don't believe it will be) would be in WA or SA where previous Anzac games have been held.

    These days games are 95% attended by the Clubs supporters (MCC members 15/20% more no doubt) so no effect in any way.

    Our game is locked in and FTA TV also.

    We just need to win 2,3,4,or all of our opening 5 or win 2 in a row prior to get 70,000 plus or even more.

    Didn't say "crowds" said finances.....

    Thursday night game and possibly second Friday game splits the viewing audience that sponsors pay for.

    Sorry DJ don't really believe it's a great effect to our Sponsors or finances!

    Crowd numbers the same Friday night this game will rate high and any other game (unlikely) will be held after or befit not concurrently.

    Do sponsors pay after the ratings are decided? First I have  heard of that 

    Sponsorship deals TMK are agreed upon with the Clubs.

    Any deals  with Fox or Seven if paid are to them not us Iwould presume snd no effects on MFC finances.

    if this is not correct please explain to the naive and ignorant like me please?

    Well summed up but I would add it can be seen as an 8 point game for MFC if they win, given most teams will lose over there.

     

    If its a loss just the usual 4 points effect.

    I really hope we have a mediocre round 2 opponent at the G, if things go south vs WC.

    Word is we play GWS in Rd 2. Not exactly a soft start to the season.

    Not good.  Every chance we lose the return game from Perth in ROund 2 as well.

    Unless we get Harley Bennell, we will win both games then.

    If that’s true it is good for us I think

    GWS will have had four weeks less training, still bringing their many injured players back and still getting up to speed. In theory we should hit the ground running,

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
