Hopefully we get 55k-60k to the game, would be a good start attendance wise.

    That would rely on Dogs fans attending the game in their droves and as we saw in this years game, they didn’t. They also only got 45,000 to a Richmond V Dogs MCG 2022 Saturday night game.

    Always good to start the season off the G with a home game. However a round 23 MCG game would be great too. Last 4 season we’ve ether been sent interstate or to Geelong to close the season.

    Happy with this. Saturday night prime time beats Sunday at 1.30pm or 4.40pm. If the gate doesn't top 50k then that's on our own fair weather fan base, not the dogs.

    Certainly it deserves 50,000 plus given both ours and Dogs excellent recruiting and where both Clubs are at.

    Yes  RD But Will more than 5/10,000 Dogs fans come to MCG though? 

    I reckon we will need 40/45,,000 Dees to top 50,000.

    My boy Hunter to stick it to Bevo early doors

    Saturday night at the G. We'll get a big crowd. This year we opened on Wednesday night which didn't help attendance wise. We'll get 60,000 in I hope

    Also just realised that there’s no AFL game in Perf for round 1. Both teams in Victoria!

    The local radio talkback stations are going to blow up over this. 😂

    I read somewhere that Optus Stadium was unavailable for some reason for Round 1. 

    Edit: And that reason is Ed Sheeran.

    Welcome back to coaching Ross, 4:40 timeslot on Sunday.

    So hang on I thought the premiership teams were going to play in r1 or did they work out putting it on a Wednesday night does not work. 

    Well hopefully Ugle-Hagen doesn't decide to have another game like he did last time. 

    Should be interesting with Hunter playing hopefully. Shacke I doubt will be there . 

    Bring on our dynamic ruck duo.

    I was convinced we would be playing Geelong in Geelong in rd 1 but I suppose it will be the last game of the year just so we can whinge about it all season.

    So once again we have the contrived round of relative equals.

    The AFL just cannot help themselves these days. Once it used to be a few blockbusters now it's whole rounds manipulated.

    Saturday night assuming decent weather maybe 50k.

    Might go to the Hawks v Bombers game if our "transferees" are selected

    I don't get the angst over the Round 1 fixture.  Just what is it that posters are whinging about?

    • TRAINING: Friday 14th November 2025

      It was a beautiful sunny morning for a preseason training run out at Gosch's Paddock and a couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were in attendance to bring your their observations on the last session of the first week of the 2026 campaign.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.
