  • 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.

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!

"The boys are angry about last year"

We'll see.

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.

Cant wait to be back at the G today. Go Dees ❤️?

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.

Bring it on boys!

What’s the crowd like??

What’s on the menu???

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!

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
