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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
