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!

    According to Simpson's post match interview Jack Darling will play round 1.

    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

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
