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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
