We'll get a decent crown anyway in rd 1. Might as well make it a celebrations and get off to a good start against a lowly team .

Let's use a replay of the GF to draw a big crowd later when we're up and running and the crowds need a boost,

Yep, I'm not a fan at all of requesting to play Footscray in Round 1.

I feel its not really at all humble unfurling the flag in their faces, in fact it could make the difference given how close some teams are in terms of mental application.

We talk about 'respecting' our opponents, well this isn't it for mine.

I don't think we should bite off more than we can chew.

 

 

Spot on.  We're about respecting others as a club and having the Dogs is downright rude.

In the past the Tiges have done it on a hursday night, not all club unfurl in Round 1. (Eagles in 2019 the most recent, Hawks in 2016)

No real pattern, except the dogs did it on a sunday arvo at 3.20 which I like the sound of.   Plenty of kids should have the opportunity to go. Not a night game please.

They could unfurl the flag while playing freed from desire.

Let’s play the Poos. For the last 15 years, there’s been something weirdly satisfying about watching Carlton have their hopes, dreams and expectations extinguished on the first day of the season. Let this not be another tradition that is trashed. 

The Poos? First thought typo, must be the Roos, no maybe the Poos & Wees (Hawks). But no, the Blues, don't get me wrong I hate them (Barassi, Wells, Spalding, McLean, O'Mac) well maybe not the last 2, but really do we want them first up? I want Geelong at the G

I don’t think we’re the home team for either of the queens bday or Anzac eve games are we?

if that’s the case - the season opener could be the last two premiers playing each other….Dees v Tiges…. or if that doesn’t fly

dees v pies to cash in on not being the home team for 2 of our blockbusters next year…..

Round 2. The premiers shouldn't unfurl the flag agains the team they beat - it's bad form.

Give the wooden spooner a chance to claim the ultimate scalp, or the Premier to get the dream start in front of a home crowd.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0
