I don't understand the Kent Kingsley reference.  Anyone?

Probably the easiest way to understand it Fanatique is imagining how Adelaide supporters felt when Alex Neal-Bullen had 23 possessions, 6 marks, 6 tackles, 3 goals and 3 Brownlow votes against them in 2018.

How about Tim Membrey, Mr 5 straight, v the Dees every game he plays

Or Kennedy could do a Joe Daniher and kick 0.6.

Just saying...

That would be so good to see for once, as opposed to us blowing great chances against them!

Of course bringing up Daniher I’ll never forget when he was missing stupid about of shots and then kicked something stupid like 7.1 against us!

That’s disappointing but you ain’t missing 8 weeks with a busted cheek bone.

The consolation is he might be a little rusty which could work in our favour.

Consolation?  Watch out. There are posters who would prefer him to be at the peak of his ability and doubly fired by having been injured.

A tap on the rusty bit by one of our great '...interceptors...' might make all the difference in the game outcome. Mind you, the green snot goblins will award a free kick - so therefore, it will be a sacrificial one but should take him out of the game. We need absolute 'mongrel' in the 2020  season, no more Mr Niceguy this season.


West coast have been very poor this pre season. 54 points against freo in perfect conditions isn’t good form. 
 

I wouldn’t be surprised if the dees got up

I wouldn’t be surprised if they thrashed us either.

Unfortunately the eagles are 1 of only a few sides where pre season form I wouldn’t take much notice of, they are capable of flicking the switch come round 1, we will have to play out of our skins to beat them hopefully it’s not too hot


Beating the Eagles in Perth in round 1 would be huge !! One of the toughest tasks in footy.

Just need Oscar to accidently fall on top of him again

We need Cameron or Greene from the Giants for that.

Those Demonlanders who want a West Coast at nearly full strength look like getting their wish.

Personally I hope it is not a very hot day over there.

Really??? I guess when west coast beat geelong by 35 and freo by 50 points last year the results didn’t matter. 

Since the pre season comp has been cut to 2 games, form has become a critical indicator on teams season performance. 

something isn’t right with the eagles. They had a full strength side and only scored 50 points.

I really hope your right with them being off, would be nice to knock them off 


Does anyone know if we sent any scouts across to watch the WC V Freo game?

You've had a warmer summer back in Melbourne Red,

The Eagles have had a bit if an interupted pre season.

Iur boys look fit at the moment and I think the heat may help us

 

In terms of preseason we've put ourselves in as good of a position to really challenge them as possible. I'm glad we've got this game round 1 in some respects. It's probably the most unpredictable round with teams still sorting game plans and personel. Plus the fatigue factor late in the game which we look to be in decent stead for. It will be hot and both teams will fatigue late so I think if one team has a 3-4 goal lead in the fourth qtr. it will be theirs to win you would think.

I'm predicting a close one! (because why not?)

I agree, my first thoughts when I saw it was that the AFL have stitched us up, but we’ve been sent there with 6 day turnarounds. At least this way we have time to prepare for it and finalists are traditionally a little bit sluggish early. 

Scoreboard pressure early in the game massive for us though.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. 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. Since that game, the Demons’ 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 they’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 ‘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. Sunday’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?
