I posed this question prior to the first round and most respondees were bursting with anticipation. Has the excitement level subsided after the disappointments of the first 2 rounds , or are you still up there ?

On a scale of 1 - 10 , I was on 5 prior to the first round ; I am now on a 3.

    Negative 7.

    May rise to 3 if Daniher decides to debut some kids this week.

    Edit: after seeing the side that will line up on Sunday, negative 157

    Didn't we lose the first 2 or 3 last year? To the Carlton twice last year?

    Didn't we lose to Hawthorn last year?

    I'm looking forward to:

    - Seeing the inclusions and hope ND doesn't stay too predictable

    - Seeing ND's forward-line structure

    - Colin's return (fingers-crossed)

    - Moloney/Whelan polaxing N.Ablett

    - Watching Hawkins and Selwood play footy, in the flesh, on the MCG

    - The Dees registering their first win of '07.

    Anticipation for me is higher than it was last week. We may get to see the future of the forward line for the first time.

    If we select Biz and Holland as our forwards, then it's a zero.

    To be honest I love these sort of "back-to-the-wall games", when nobody gives us a shot in hell of winning. It makes these kind of wins so much sweeter.

    im .5. I dont really care about this year anymore

    Agreed. After seeing the team, not looking forward to this one...

    Lets hope we come out and pull some sort of miracle win with such a poorly rounded team on the field. Will make it oh so sweet!

    Still early in the season & so many more dramas to unfold before round 22. Best that it all goes to [censored] early in the season I say than later. I'm still excited.

    was 9.25 before the saints game, and even though it only early in the season, my anticpation level is 4 and if we lose it will be nearlly 0-- 0.98

    So my advice to the team is please lift and win

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
