2022 Fixture - We are the Hard Draw!

Given that the Magpies were the only team in 2021 we didn't beat, let's just hope that they don't sack their coach a week before we play them in 2022.

    Would love to see us 'take over' Optus next time (and forever) we have to play West Coast with massive banners along the fences claiming ownership to different parts of the ground, e.g.

    - Petracca's Pocket

    - Ed Langdon Wing 

    - the Trent Rivers end (the river end of the ground)

    - Clayton Oliver Centre Square 

    - Max Gawn premiership Terrace (there is a seating area at optus called the premiership Terrace) 

    Having grown up in the west it has been hard going as a Dee's fan, looking forward to rubbing this premiership in my West coast mates faces forever!

    Love it! Yea I spent my uni years there, very difficult place to be a Dees fan. Could never imagine the OBH being somewhere I wanted to be, but [censored] me the Dees were celebrating a flag there. Cant believe it

    I think we will ask for, and get a round 1 home game on Friday or Saturday night against another Victorian club, perhaps even the Dogs. 
    Unfurl the flag and sell a heap of merchandise and memberships pre game.

     
    But if I could have one wish on the back of winning a flag, it’s to NEVER EVER be forced to play Geelong down at their country dump. 
    A home game against Essendon or West Coast would also be nice. If we get big membership numbers in the pre season I hope we put our foot down on these things. Enough is enough.

    I think it would be bad form to unfurl the flag against the grand final loser.

    Let's just lock and load against a Hawthorn or a St Kilda even, and get the season off to a flyer (hopefully).

    So personally I am loving that:

    * We will get primetime slots for our games. Our games rated well.

    * That we won the lot with a 'hard draw', now we ARE the hard draw.

    * We travel as well as anyone, Perth is now sacred ground for us.

    But most of all, every other side will be

     a, scared of us everywhere, home or away.

     b, we are scared of nowhere.

     c, will feel like they are never enough in front.

    And lastly, like i predicted after GWS r3, we now have BOOMSHAKALA, am tipping we kick the highest winning score next year as well as the best percentage. 20/20 Cricket scores coming up.

    I hope we gets twice again😁

    Felt that way but not anymore.

    I think the cats would be lucky to make finals without the number of wins they rack up from kardinia.

    And yea it would be good to play weagles in vic just once...i love optus stadium now.

    For St Kilda, the horror, the horror…

    My main concern is that this season we only ever lost games to teams that finished the season below us.

    It’s less about losing there and more about how impossible it is to attend as an away member. 
    I don’t care playing them twice. But make it at Marvel, like all the “big” Victorian clubs get.

    Yea fair point. We are premiers and deserve respect.

    I would be happy playing Jeelong at Kardinia twice next year. Eight easy points against the wooden spooner.

    Pert’s requested Dees V Dogs round 1 at the G.

    Presume that would be the opening Friday night of the year if the request gets over the line.

    Hope we can avoid Perth next year, or at worst play there once. Sick of playing West Coast at Optus and Subiaco year in year out while the last time we played WC at the G was in 2014.

    Need an early home game against Essendon at the MCG.

    It would be a big money earner to make up for our two blockbusters which I think are both away games

    What century did we last have a home game at our ground v Essundone?

    I guess my wish list would include non negotiable:

    - round 1 Friday night home (at G) vs Footscray  

    - IF we must play in Darwin it must be immediately preceding our (and our opponents) bye.

    Cats - how many remember their players pretending to snooze rather than sing their club song after smashing us one day? 

     

    In particular, James Kelly. I won’t forget that in a hurry. 😡

    You can betcha that both us the dogs will have to play down at Geelong. It disgusts me.

    That won't happen anymore, the ratings and crowd number factor will prevent this from happening in the near future.

    If we don't get at least 3 Friday night games next year I will be peeved.

    I doubt we will get both Anzac Eve and QB next year but as long as we are in prime time I will be pleased. Naturally anticipating a few COVID curvballs as well.

    I really hope not.

    We'll all be 90% fully vaxed next year and many will probably have had a booster.

    I'll be really disappointed if we have to move our games interstate again in either the home and away season or finals.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
