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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
