  • Demonland changed the title to GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs Fremantle

So excited I can’t sleep.

Cannot wait to sit down in the MCC with my Dad and two brothers for the first time since 2019.

Just quietly, really looking forward to a few frothies while seated in the stands too. 

Let’s go Dees!

Enjoy your day. Am in Sect 4 in outer In Great Southern Stand.

Getting 7.40 am flight from Brisbane to o by here on this iconic day which figuratively means so much for  us.
 

We must make a statement with a performance like vs Tigers in practice game. That would be good enough to win by 3/4 goals today I imagine.

Safe travels 58.

You trip will be worth because I believe we'll win. It may not be pretty with our depleted forward line but we'll have enough to see off Freo.

Similar Ben.

It’s been way too long.

A few beers pre-game, saunter down to the G in time for ball-up and hopefully a Dees win.

Life is good.

I’ll hardly get any sleep either - but for different reasons. Match starts at 3:45 a.m. for me.

Make sure to set 2 alarm clocks in case the first one doesn't go off!

Wonder what sort of crowd we'll get. I'm predicting 25k.

Pert reckons about 27k. A disappointing turnout in my view given the year we've just had. Where are all the Dees supporters?

A lot would be thinking why go just to get another knee in the groin.But I do think on such a beautiful day 30k is more like it

Like others, I’m a bit nervous. I’m still concerned about our lack of run, spread and class, as I have been for years now. We should still be good enough, but it will need to be a performance more like the Richmond game than the Doggies game.

Sadly I couldn’t get down from NSW fr this week.  Im def on edge today. This season could be anything , a genuine crack at the top 4-6 or a collapse and a coach sacking. Today will tell us a lot.... im in the former camp. Let’s go dees!

You know my favorite thing about round one? The montage, nothing better than a good footy montage. I wish I had montage guy's voice I'd voice over my whole life.

I’m really sorry guys, I drank out of my Pink Floyd mug rather than Demons mug this morning. I’ve let Simon Goodwin know that I have made learnings and worked really hard on developing my brand. Hopefully will put out a 4 quarter effort next week.

Family footy time is back, looking forward to walking into the G with the kids again.

All summer we’ve heard how the boys can’t wait to play in front of us again, we’ll do our part by turning up, giving them a loud cheer when they run out and hopefully they return the favour with a win. 

Enjoy the day all, Go Dees!

Have some mixed feelings. I’m really looking forward to the footy but, in order to get there, I’ve had to disclose to the maid that lockdown is over. Arrh well.. all good things!

It’s always good to watch a kid debut and at the other end of the scale, I hope Jones has a decent game.

My highlight will be Fritsch kicking 5 big ones!

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1
