The Demons take on recent rivals the Western Bulldogs in their opening game of the 2023 Premiership Season as they attempt to redeem their disappointing end to the 2022 Season.

Let’s belt these [censored]

We're ready for this.  We can back the boys even with our outs.  Let's hope for a great confidence win for our season!!

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. 

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. 
 

 

Time to rock n’ roll Demons!!!

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.

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

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

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

Yesterday I saw a numberplate that read BBB8ON. I took it as a sign that Benny Brown was on for 8 goals 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.

How many expected today at the G'?

Hoping we get close to 70k 🤞🏻

This time of year you just want wins on the board.
