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.

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

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

    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.

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

    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

    It's no wonder the club was sending emails. Pert predicting 27k is disappointing.

    Happy game day everyone. 

    Go dees!

    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!

    was sure be predicted 40k the other week? 

    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!

    Livid I can’t get there today as I’m stuck working hotel quarantine.

    Hope those that make it along to the game enjoy a great day. Praying for a solid win first up. 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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
