Was thinking about this weekend's game that isn't.

My belief is that we would have lost to GWS and would be going into this game 0-2.

With a possibly wet MCG the Freo game would be a slog.

Do we win and if so what is the margin

I say we win by 14 points and limp on.

    Entertaining match, especially the second half. Coming into that round 7 match we haven’t had a win but you look at the side it is not that bad. Rivers, Garland, Frawley, Warnock and Bartram down back( Whelan injured), Robbo, Miller, Green, Flash and Wonna up forward. White and Jamar rucking with Brock McClean, Jones, Junior Mac, Maloney with support from Bruce, Wheatley etc. Not a great side but not horrible either. Of course other agendas may have been in play of course.

    Of course the great Connolly and Cam Schwab (dirty duo) were at play as they started the “better to lose” mentality.  Ridiculous times that killed careers and reputations.  Bailey never had a chance.

    Not often I wonder “why am I here?”. There was about 15k at the ground - it was putrid and so were we in the first half. I was very tested in my resolution of never leaving before final siren - the Bullring looked warm and comfortable.

     

    Was speaking to an ex Melbourne staff member about this game a couple of weeks ago - how good is footy!

     

    This and a Brisbane game around same time are vivid memories.

    I’ve got a feeling Freo will jump out of the gates early. Need to be within 4-5 goals during the third qtr if we’re a snow flakes chance in hell of getting our first win of the season.

    Stuck at home like everyone else  yesterday,I  watched the first(terrible) half while on the exercise bike.

    Today 'I'm looking forward to a pleasant hour on the bike again, knowing  it's going to be much more fun to watch!

    Go Ozzie!

    Are many past matches available on Demonland?

    I was at this game. I have never left any game before full time and this one never gave me an inkling to; I was completely inured to another defeat and going home on the train trying not to make eye contact with anyone. Even when we kicked a few goals in the third, I had seen it all before; late rally after being putrid and going down by 20 points or so. I still could not make eye contact on the way home with anyone; I was still in shock.

    remember this game well, particularly when Junior quickly kicked the ball out of the centre to the bronx cheers (i was a part of them). Half time came and Dad wondered if we should go, to which i replied that i had nothing better to do on a Sunday arvo. Bloody glad we stayed lol.

    The most uneventful game i've attended has to be the Sunday twilight game at the G against the Crows, where it was so cold it felt like being at Waverley and the game so boring you had no chance of warming up. That was truly a waste of an afternoon at the footy.

    They all played their guts out in the second half, I enjoyed that game at the time and I really enjoyed every second of that second half this time around..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I enjoyed watching this match also. We had many chances to win this game. I'm not looking forward to seeing the match against St Kilda. Let's hope they don't show the replay when we played them the first time in 2015.

    Bate came good after half time, and played a significant role in our comeback.

    I'm not sure how  much time Morton was on the ground,,but he only had a couple of useful touches.

    There you have the OMac and ANB of their era....any excuse to rubbish them was gleefully accepted

    JW was in between.

    More importantly it kills culture...that takes far longer the build and repair than a few players.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
