In my case, I'd get pinged for wasting time.

My oldest daughter has just recently moved out of home and up to Melbourne for uni, so I'm taking a bootload of of her stuff to her apartment late Saturday arvo.  We'll then grab a feed somewhere local to her before training it in to the G where we may or may not meet up with my oldest son who is definetely going, but he's not sure if he'll be hanging with his mates or us.

Like everyone here, we've been hanging for the season to start for so long now and have talked about it so much.  Can't wait.

Is it concerning that more than half of us die hard supporters aren't going to the game?

absolutely zero judgment for the many and varied reasons you all can attend. I myself was going to miss but for some good work misfortune

60K plus and ill be happy.   50 point smashing, ill be even happier

Spewing I can't go but my son wanted to have his birthday party at home instead of going to the footy so home it is. It also means there's another 6 or 7 of my family who won't be going either.

I also have a christening on the same afternoon as the Swans game in round 3 so because of all our interstate games the first one I'll get to go to is ANZAC Eve! Gonna make sure I get there for as many games for the rest of the year after that, it's going to be a good season I feel and I want to make sure I'm there to enjoy it.

Personally, prep for round one started a few weeks ago at the first of three DA working bees where (among many other things) we went through all our gear in readiness for the season. Well, it really began at the end of last season since not a week goes by without some manner of DA activity. And yes, meeting up for a liquid lunch constitutes DA activity. 😝

I’m currently on my way to Collingwood because the real prep starts today at 3pm for our first (official) banner-making for the year! Yay! Spirits are always sky-high at banner but I think today will be next level. ❤️💙

Were you fumigated when you left?

I was. And when I got home I burned the clothes I’d been wearing. One can never be too careful.

Can you give us an early scoop @WalkingCivilWar on the most important data between now and the first bounce - what's going to be on the banner? Even a small hint?

Winery Lunch in Red Hill, drive up the highway, train to the G, stand behind M19, drink lots of beer, hurtle abuse at Neal Bullen and the men in yellow no doubt, and be happy that footy is back.

OK but this is just between you and me. Don’t tell anyone else! Especially the ppl on Demonland; they can’t keep their big traps shut. 😁

One side has a huge HERTZ logo under which “GO DEMONS” is sitting on its lonesome. That’s because the Hertz wants what the Hertz wants (see what I did there?).

The main side acknowledges that our game this Saturday marks the 3000th game played on the ‘G. Not our 3000th game, but the 3000th game, the majority of which we probs played anyways.

Again, QD… you didn’t hear this from me.

Mum's the word @WalkingCivilWar. Having said that, I know a few 'Landers and they are all thoroughly decent chaps. Can't mention names of course - I know you'll understand. But that red-head is a thoroughly decent chap. Went to the right school you know. And the one with the pony tail, we had the rules changed at the Club to have him admitted. Thoroughly decent chap. And the son of . . . . what's his name . . . oh you know, very decent lad. Very stable, predictable, steady hand on the tiller - just the chap we need heading up the Firm. Gave him his own underground carpark. Anyway - got to go now WCW - meeting some of the developers down at Sorento.

About that. There’s also a lot of white with the red and blue. Too much white for mine. I told my Army General, “The Doggies will like our banner, it’s in their colours.” She said, “Better than the faded old tablecloth they call a banner.”

I'm in Sydney and won't be getting to see any matches live until later in the season. My plans stereotypically include a charcuterie board and some wine.

As usual I shall manoeuvre my prodigious buttocks into my reserved seat on Saturday and drink plenty of overpriced beer. I expect Moonshadow ( a defrocked Demonlander) will also be there ...and possibly Biffen ( also a defrocked Demonlander).

I expect nothing less than a comfortable victory over the denizens of Melbourne's less salubrious barrio .

I have a newborn son, and my train line is undergoing major works, so I won't be attending matches until later this year. TV for me for a few months.

My little guy will be decked out in a Demons onesie watching his first game of footy on tv Saturday night.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
