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

Classic AFL to release during the Socceroos game.


Wish it was on a Thursday so Tom Morris had a chance to break the news of Hunters debut 

Not a bad opening draw that.Woods cats, prime time.Reckon it will be a hard ground by then. Need to check previous games results and injuries.


I would’ve rather played the Lions first up. 
 

Any venue. 

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.

Dear Lord. 😂😂😂


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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
