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.

  • Quote

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
