Worst time to play them.

GO DEES

Source?

(Indeed; GO DEES)

 

We have asked for it and it's a brilliant idea!!! Rubbing there noses in it, golly I think playing the song in the middle of the ground post game was rubbing there noses in it.


MCG?

Non-negotiable.

It seems as if some of our supporters on here are worried that we will lose if we play the GF replay as our season opener.

Why?

 

 

The AFL is averse to playing GF replays  in round 1, so while it may happen it’s no certainty.

Would be a fantastic way to open the season though- Our first Friday night game at the G since 2019.

It will give the Bulldogs a chance.

To humiliate themselves.


well, going on round 1 this year we were lucky we didn't come up against a good side

first game of season is always hard to find instant form

The Dees are in the entertainment business, the bulltish Blues v Tigs hasn’t been entertaining for years. Let’s hope it’s another fizzer and a huge number tune in/go on the Friday (if we get the game that is). Great concept G Pert!

 A win or loss is immaterial. Great way to reward supporters/ sponsors all the while getting a huge financial windfall for Club.

The AFL is not averse to $. They have hemorrhaged money for 2 years, the sooner they can get money flowing in the better. With the right weather there will be 90000 at the game. Double vacced of course.

I’d rather not play them. I’d rather a team we were almost certain to beat being that it’s the first time we have raised the flag since 1965 and I don’t want anything to spoil the night.

We have had a dream season but we still don’t beat teams we are certain to beat often enough. Better a tough game with players fired up by the occasion and opposition.

I know but this is the toughest opponent possible

Embrace the challenge. 

Well, we gotta play them sometime so let's get it done so we can own them for another 3 months. It'll also mean that we'll be all over the media in the lead up to the new season with our game likely to overshadow the warm up act on the Thursday night. 

Yep love it

 

Lots

 

so the club has guaranteed we don't travel round 1

play a team with similar preparation as us to start the season

a packed MCG to unfurl the flag, possibly 90K+

and they get the $$$ in early just in case covid rears its ugly head again later in the season

 

I don't know I kind of feel weird playing the dogs. It's like we will already give them extra motivation afterall they will want revenge obviously. Also I'm sorry but if the situation was the other way around and we lost, I would hate to sit there as a fan watching them raise the premiership flag. I couldn't stomach it and the dogs fans aren't that bad.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
