They just released our first 6 rounds

Riound 1 vs West Coast (Perth)
Riund 2 vs   Brisbane    (GABBA)
Round 3 vs  Geelong     (Geelong)
Round 4 vs GWS     (Darwin)
Round 5 vs Port Adelaide (Wuhan Stadium)
Round 6 vs Fremantle  (Perth)
 

Nice of the AFL to schedule us a game in Victoria in the first 6 weeks.

    Not sure what all the angst is about. Good sides win no matter where or when. Poor sides look for excuses. We will win both.

    we have a pretty good win rate in the meaningless games.

    It's the ones for points that we find harder

    Still think a community series game in Airlie Beach would be a good idea.

    I do get tired of the perfect weather and fantastic nightlife though.

    Nice!  Good test first up.  Freo should be very competitive next season and we traditionally do terrible in Round 1.

    We have to start winning on the MCG, our record there under Goodwin is shocking.

    Our draw has been kind and gives us the opportunity to create some momentum, get wins on the board early.  

    Freo, St Kilda, GWS and Hawks are must wins if we’re to have a crack at the Top 4. Win one of Geelong or Richmond and we’re 5-1 and well on track for the double-chance.

    Drop Geelong and Richmond and one other and its 3-3 and its just more of the same, inconsistent, mediocrity.  Anything less than 3 wins after 6 rounds and I’ll be calling for heads to roll.

    BB, Yze and Chocco are great additions and I reckon will give the group a real spur. Another pre-season with Burgess as well so I’m genuinely confident and think this group can deliver.

    Another Covid outbreak and the WA hard border has returned. 
     

    Will we even see the game against Freo given the quarantine period that may or may not be in place?

    Will the players be back in hubs before we know it?

    After the last couple of days Steve I would say it is less than a 50/50 chance. If the 2021 season goes ahead without serious change I will be astounded.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
