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.

    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!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
