    Not looking for anything big, just getting the four points and working our way into the season.

    It'll be a few rounds of just heads down hard work to start the season while we get everyone back on the park.

    (Quietly hoping Essendon are already falling in a heap by round 5 and that will be the game we first decide to really go nuts. You know, because, hate.

    Had a chat with a Dons friend on Friday.  Concluded that they're taxiing on the runway and maybe in 2024 they can take-off to land in the 8.

     Swooper would have this in a heartbeat. DBA4D5C6-E70C-4B24-9D2A-939B25DE8E01.jpeg.4223fb54d5eef77eec506ee3e0a6a96e.jpeg

    Redundant communist era propaganda from the brain’s trust at the Footscray Soviet. 

    Demons we are not intimidated by the bully boys from out west. Throw this puerile nonsense back over the Maribyrnong. The taller the monolithic facade the greater the fall.

    Spot on! We are adaptable and a conservative but winning opening to the season is sensibly achievable.  


    Win, lose or draw, I just hope we escape unscathed from that joke of a loose turf surface tonight. Then we can hit the road and hopefully it will be fine against Sydney in r3. Nervous.

    This is going to be my 5 week old son’s first MFC match. He’s been a member since the day he was born! I hope his lifetime of Dees supporting is more successful than mine.

    I'm confident. Boys have a point to prove this year.

    Dees by 25 points

    So looking forward to going tonight, been quite some time.


    We are on a mission in 2023, and I just know we won’t be leaving anything on the park tonight.  Best of luck to our debutants, and those wearing red and blue for the first time.  Dees by 4 goals.

    March premiers are obviously the filth.  Let us just quietly crush a few teams over the first 6 weeks and settle into the momentum of winning.  We will then know how the game is being played, and where we stand.  Dees by 32.

    Good luck to our 4 new debutants. Wear our colours with pride and put a muzzle on those pestering little bulldogs. Go Demons!!!

    Predicting Viney to intimidate them early and get 10 tackles. 

    Fritsch should clean up with 5+ goals

    May will dominate their tall timber and Salem will use his composure and skill off HB

     

    Uh oh

    can’t pick this one. dogs are into 2.20 but i’m surprised it’s not more. we have the best midfield in the comp. our defence is just good without May and our fwd line is average until proven otherwise. 

    this could be a shoot out as the dogs defence is poor. T Mac and Brown to kick 3-4 each

    wont be the end of the world if we lose. it’s a long season. i’d prefer to peak in Aug/Sept

    When you take on a team that’s over stacked with tall timber what better than the rain predicted in tonight’s weather forecast?

    Not sure if this is for Melbourne? BOM says only a 5% chance of rain tonight.

    Just a win with our new brand on show will be good enough for me. We’re missing 4 of our best 22 so I’m not expecting anything spectacular. Let the media froth over the Pies for the next month.

    Hoping we get close to 70k 🤞🏻

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • 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?
