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

Spot on. From now every team will be now  fearing playing the dees twice  . The cats especially.

They've missed a little school over the last 2 years, 1 more day won't hurt.

I want a Saturday afternoon game so i can bring my son along. Next preference is Friday night so i can have a few beers and not have to worry about work. Wednesday night sucks

 

Really? Do they consider people have to work the next day?

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!


after the replay this sunday that will make it 3 games in a row we play those filthy dogs

too much, too much, let someone else smash them

 

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

Do Bulldogs supporters go to the G? They dont have many as it is so wouldnt be expecting a monster crowd

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
