To me it was a non-event.
If anything a sign of Gawns desperation when the game looked like getting away.
Bumped his own head putting GF sized dollop of mayo on it.
Not his best moment famously pointed out to him by Trac.

No way Maxy put mayo on it. Daniels is deceptively strong apparently

Reckon Daniels could be the answer to the doggies ruck problems. Nic Nat better watch out nest season!

    Don't care who we play, we fear no-one, but would much prefer an afternoon game so i can bring my boy (he'll soon be 7). He watched the prelim and granny with me which was the first time he showed any interest in the Dees. I would love if his first game he see  live was the unfurling of the flag. Can;t think of a better way to cement his loyalty and connection to the team

    Speaking of this ...any further info from Club land / Kate re the post GF family day!??  Surely if we can put 10,000 VRC/Corporate Sponsor elites into a betting ring swilling chardys and scoffing down oysters we can get a few ppl at the G outdoors for a gathering sculling down Furphys while we fly our vintage pre premiership flags about!?? (ty Aussie Post!)

    And ...if we have to please Dan and his betting state to get this one away, maybe we can set up our own betting action for the day with 10% going in to the state's coffers!

    You know important things like "who comes on stage first, which player was the first to barf in the cup post match, how long after the match was it before Uncle unlocked the maid's hand cuffs!?" etc etc

    I see it's just been announced that our girls will open their season against the Dogs as well. An early opportunity to strut our premiership attire on their turf.

    I don’t like this proposal. It’s additional (and unnecessary) pressure on the team. And for little benefit.

    Just noticed that as well. I'm looking forward to heading over to Footscray for the season opener and enjoying a few beers on Barkly Street afterwards

    Absolutely BDA. Bar Josephine likely to get a look in and maybe the Victoria Hotel near the ground.

    How people can be so excited about watching the replay on the MCG screen and yet being a bit blah about finding we open the whole season with a GF replay which would be the talk of the town for 2 weeks beforehand, is puzzling.

    I think it it fantastic! please get it going. We will be flying the flag! 

    Think how many we will get to training all February and March. Killer Diller!

    So we miss out on seeing our team win the granny for the first time in 57 years then they want us to unfurl the flag on a Wednesday night. Are they [censored] serious?

    Richmond have been slow starters each year after their premierships, the only thing that’s ensured them getting the W in round one is that they keep playing the Blues. 

    I think facing the dogs definitely has the advantage of coming up against a team that’s had the exact same preparation time. 

    Maybe a good point re the 5 week reduction in preparation time - in which case it would seem equitable for both the GF and the losing OF teams to play each other in R1.  
    It would take the shorter preseason out of the excuse box.

    Whatever. Just announce something.

    Also, since when do we have Wednesday night games? Weird. They want to have 4 of the 9 games standalone night games in the first round? 

    Whatever.

    Just give us the Friday night game and stop trying to re-invent the wheel.

    We deserve nothing less tbh.

    We opened the season in 2000 against Richmond on a Wednesday night.

    That was a period when the AFL went a bit off the rails and experimented with mid week games.

    What a waste of a blockbuster.

    Midweek night game

    Crowd 60k is my guess

    Probably the worst night of all four available evenings.

    Hopefully we make it big with the corporate dollars for the night

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • 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.
