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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
