Good on ya Nev and well done and best of luck to the debutantes.  May you have a win first up.

Anyone else find these elbow bumps etc a bit of a futile exercise, considering the number of sweaty, salivating players in packs, tackling opponents and all touching the same footy?

    If the hoarders return all the toilet paper will things go back to normal?

    No. I'm either going to need all of it to either cry into if we lose tonight, or (as @Bitter but optimistic would say) give myself a jolly good flogging should we win.

    Bruise free football coming up for both teams... and fair enough. 

    There is genuinely no point playing.... perhaps someone can tell me what political mechanics allowed the football season to begin anyway.

    Leave it all out on the park tonight boys! Break a leg & she'll be right to go by rnd 2

     

    Go dees. 

    Thanks to all posters and huge thanks to Andy for keeping demonland going.

    I am always positive during the preseason. Exciting we get another one. By golly we will be fit!

    Go redleggers

    Nope, you can include all of WA in that Blood!

    Except you of course @Chook in Perth

    Two points and WC go coast to coast from kickouts without us getting a touch


    Bit late to the party but there’s nothing but strange feelings. Haven’t felt like this since the merger game in 96. 

    Poor kicking hurting us right now. 

    Nothing has changed from last year. Turnovers, short kicks to opposition. Unfunctional forward line.

    Oh no. That game i was very angry and [censored] off. This game is a lot more insignificant for me.

    OPPO waltzing out of the backline all day

    Social distancing in our forwardline going strong. Nobody getting near it.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
