Don't underestimate how hard someone can try if it REALLY matters to them, and I think this may mean more to Grundy than anyone else. (Of course Max is much better normally)

We should try to expose his lack of marking ability. He'll get completely outmarked by Gawn and Schache hopefully.

Play it hard, fast and with an ounce of mongrel brutality, guys, as a stamp of respect to Gus.

 

I just realised I'm yet to renew my membershp. Oh well I'll do it soon.

I just believe the start of the season has come around. 

Looking foward tonight to see what we can do and what our new players can show. 

Hope Oliver goes well and Viney just gets in there and does what he does best.

At home on the tele with a glass of brandy and some fine cheese and smoked salmon. I like to play up the stereotype on occasion :)

This game will be a tough slog.

On the couch with my mate Covid. Isolating out of “an abundance of caution”. 
Last time I watched a game by myself was the GF I think. Go Dee’s, do us proud.

yeah reckon i’ll head to the globe. 


Seriously, aside from the ridiculous opening round baloney, how good is it that we get the opening bounce of the year?

JUST IMAGINE

Ball is bounced - Maxxy towers over Grundy to tap it straight to Clarry who, almost immediately, handballs it to Trac who kicks it to a running ANB, who spears a pass straight into Fritter's open arms - and he slots it for our first goal of the year with that trusty left foot.

Mind you, Jack was in the thick of it, making sure nobody got within a mile of Trac. Does he (fairly) take out a few guys en route to our score? I dunno, you tell me. 

Now Im really [censored] pumped! Put myself to bed early last night to make the hours go quicker, woke up to a nice spring morning here. Bit of cricket to while away the last hour or so. Carn the Dees

P.S all you listing cities that aren't Amsterdam have clearly not been to Amsterdam and are most welcome anytime

Home ground is the only significant factor they have to model. Unless they are mathing media BS, no exposed form orherwise.

Yes, home ground advantage is the main reason my model is predicting Sydney. My model, and all the other Squiggle models, carry over team ratings from the prior season. My model has Melbourne rated higher, but the home advantage to Sydney is greater.

I'm in Sydney, weather is good.. fairly warm actually. About to walk down to the ground, Go Dees!!

Come over & say hi. I'm a decrepit old man (bald) and will be wearing an over the top aqua/white short sleeved shirt*. I'll also have a Demons MFC/MCC 2024 scarf.

*present from daughter

 

 

I know the footy season is here. I’m already arguing with my husband 🙄. Bloody Pies supporter. 

Big leadership hole for the Swans. Previous abs current captain out. No Buddy to rely on

We need to lock down Blakey, I wonder who takes him?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
