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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
