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.

    Rather play them up there than down here.

    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.

    Maybe the 2000 Olympics year? 

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
