I can highly recommend the "Ignore" option WCW. I knew it existed, but only just found it yesterday. Only one person needed actioning, but it has made visiting Demonland so much less frustrating. 

Yes but sometimes I like what the poster has to say, it’s his aggressive nature I dislike. Besides, you still see posts from your ignored poster when somebody quotes them.

    Agree, but the 10% of worthwhile content is not worth the pain of the rest IMO.

    You may have seen my similar post re him a few days ago. There is enough sh*t happening in this world without voluntarily reading it on a fan forum.

    I don't understand this round zero thing. When do we get our extra bye?

    Sydney in Sydney to open the season will be tough considering the respective off seasons. 

    Grundy v Max again like the old days.

    March 7th. Has the season started this early before?

    I can’t wait for Xmas day matches.

    According to the article on AFL site the 8 teams that play in the ‘Opening’ round will have a bye at some point between rounds 2-6.

    Are they really calling it ‘round zero’ to not offend Carlton and Richmond fans, who always play Round One? The AFL has jumped the shark here. It’s embarrassing.

    its the first round of football for premiership points - it’s Round One.

    Another [censored] Thursday night match. I was hoping to go away for this one and take my girls to their first interstate trip.

    Just do it. Take em out of school for 2 days. Theyll get more out of travelling to sydney than they will at school those days.

    Ha ha,I hear you. Believe me my youngest would love to have 2 days out of school. Makes it tough for me when you run your own business that means one and a half days off. Was hoping for a Friday night or Saturday/ Sunday game. I’ve seen enough already Dillon Out!!!!!!!

    So far every Dees game they've released has been one I can't attend.

    Always keeping the loyal members in mind is the AFL!

    It’s part of the season so the usual transport crowds and expenses are not “extra”. Mostly it’s a home game like any other and you get a few months notice of it happening. 

    Sorry that the AFL puts your life out on such a special night of the week. That dastardly Andrew Dillon he is as bad as that Gill bloke. 

    They should be sorry, it's extremely inconsiderate of them.

    But honestly it does put your life out if you are faffing around with public transport at near midnight and have an early start the next day. Not everyone's footy going days/nights are created equal like yours.

    As for having a few months notice, when has anyone ever planned ahead for a cold winter night that might deter them from going that day, the funds they will have available or the cruddy feeling of taking an hour to get home from the MCG late on a Thurs night? By that logic if you're going out for dinner in a few months you should have a much better chance of knowing what you're going to order because you have plenty of notice.

    Looking forward to the Boxing Day Bonanza!

    Was hoping the Sydney game would be on the weekend to make it easier to travel up. 

    Was earlier rumoured to be Sunday 3:20pm.

    Yep this sucks. I want to go but a Thurs night makes it so much harder for Melbourne fans. 

    I accept the same argument applies for all four games but therein lies the rub of Thursday night games - they fail the game’s most important stakeholder, the fans.

    For everyone bemoaning the fact that an interstate game means that they are unable to attend, welcome to my world which is spent bemoaning the fact that we can’t easily get to attend most games for the entire season!

    Living in Sydney, this will be the first time in memory, that I may be able to attend a Dees game as a season opener! It’s fantastic!!

    Wouldn't have been ideal but a lot better than Thurs night.

    um

    the games most important stakeholder is the advertising people that pay the TV networks.

    I reckon playing them first up, before they've had a chance to gel as a team is probably as good an option as we'll get.

    By round seven we’ll all be on the same number of games played.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
