 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. 
 

 

I actually think that's quite clever with his foot on the ball. reminded me of one of one of our beautiful bull mastiffs.

We have coach replacements from Gisborne. If i leave at 4:30PM and then walk from Southern Cross station, I should arrive at 3 quarter time.

Perfect. Just in time to sing the song and start the trek back home in time for work on Monday.

    Well that would be underwhelming, surely it could have more than last year's R1 (it was a Wednesday night).

    average home and away crowd between these two sides is sub 30k

    last year was almost double that after a premiership, and i'd say 85% mfc fans

    footscray have a tiny supporter base and their record of crowds at the mcg indicates their fans don't attend there

    Will get a few more tonight with Dees losing 4 players it evens the odds.

    Should be an intense close game.

    Crowd?  45- 50k tops. Bulldogs have a small following.

    Player to watch.. Kosi.

    Lets see what all this media hype was about. 

     


    I think we can cover Viney and Fritsch and I'm not sure Salem is best 22 after last years performances but May is a massive loss. Have no faith in Tomlinson hoping to be proven wrong and happy to give an apology after the game if he does his job.

    Exactly, CF! There mightn’t be as many of us there tonight as we’d like, but those who do attend will more than make up for it since we have indisputably the most passionate supporters of all clubs. It’s a fact! even if based on nothing other than coz I said so. 😆

    Not sure we can cover our best goal kicking player, unless BBB goes back to his best

    I think Chandler can play a bit if he kicks one of two goals he's done his job. We easily accounted for Richmond without Fritsch.

    Yes that's a big concern for me too.  Jamara made a mess of him last time

    Wish I could be there tonight, hopefully the Demons get off to a great start of the season. If we lose its not the end of the world but still, I'd like to win.

    Go Demons!

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

    The app I use reckons no rain tonight. Draws on BOM data but interprets it differently (not so conservative as BOM) and in my opinion is far more realistic and representative of what we are in for. GO DEES!

    I love the optimism some of you have. The 4 outs are too important players. No side in the AFL can cover such losses. My MFCSS is spiralling around the milky way atm. I see a 5 goal loss. Hope I am wrong.

    Yeah, nah I think you are wrong……(I hope)!

    55k tonight easily.


    AFL and TV exec's will be drinking champagne after the first two nights of R1  175000.

    They'll come back down to earth will a dull thud by late tonight.   Grimsby Port all round!

    Go Dees. Tomlinson better stand up otherwise we're cactus.

    I reckon the notion that it’s a significant experiment is grossly overstated. How is it so different to the Gawn/Jackson combo?

    Sure.

    But i'll take an experiment involving two AA rucks sharing ruck and forward duties (as vipercrunch notes, not far away the same set up as Jackson/Gawn - the only difference would appear to be Max will play forward more often) over:

    • four key talls in the forward line
    • with one being second year bean pole
    • another an inconsistent blow in like blobb
    • and a third player in UH who has undeniable talent but like Lobb goes missing.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
