Just another reminder as to how far this club has come. Another night to open proceedings with the eyes of the entire footy nation upon us. 

What a time to be a Dee!

    Or something like that..

    One swallow is often one too many: it's called a Hangover.


    Just listening to the pre game on Fox.

    King told the story of his coaching days at Carey when Jack Viney was there.

    He said they had to take Jack out of some games because he was too tough for the other kids !!

    Under 18's apparently !!!!

    All good over here. Had shower and shave..... breakfast over and I am locked and loaded watching the pre-game and there is no Bereton.... life is pretty good at the moment.

    Expect a tough tight game for a quarter/quarter and a half and then we will look to take charge. Petracca and Oliver to have big games in the midfield with Brown and Fritsch to have good games up forward.

     

    Dees by 4 goals.

    The Adelaide Oval is no MCG. My husband said the hot dogs are terrible.

    I had no idea where we would be seated but thank God I’m in an all Dee area. Not a Crows supporter in sight of me.

    Its not only a pain to play a home team but to do it on opening night is the double whammy.

    Have become increasingly nervous as the day goes on. 

    Win and we temporarily go top at 4-1. Lose and we’re in the middle of the pack at 3-2.

    I've heard Grinter was even worse. I think he actually ended the odd career.

    What was the deal with ports sign with the cartoon car?

    3 minutes left and 2 goals down.

    The signal was get going like the car at all costs. We're running out of time.

    • Thanks 2

    To our players: please avoid sending low balls to Petty.

    To Petty: If a low ball comes your way, don't try to catch it with your hands. Use another part of your body to control it, resulting in a loose ball or a stoppage situation. You've had three lessons already, we need you to stay healthy.

    Go Dees!

    Molloy on Footy show said it was the 'game over' signal encouraging the Port fans to leave & go steal a car from the carpark to get home

    I watched 5 mins of channel 7 pre-game, and 10 minutes of Fox pre-game. I have been savagely reminded why I rarely watch any AFL pre-game on TV. Mind numbing, superficial, repetitive twaddle as an excuse for insight. Mute button on, browsing through YouTube and Facebook until I see the coin toss happen in the back ground. 

    Just start the game for (insert expletive of choice here) sake!!

    Troy Wilson was even worse than both of them without doing anything. Half a dozen blokes ended up with long term injuries colliding into him in his first season. Noting, he didn’t play for MFC, but was a legend.

    And it was nice of Fritta telling Port fans after kicking the sealer it was time to go home.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
