Too late deever ! The Manor's attack dogs have just breakfasted.

It's good to hear from you Uncle.

The standard of humor has really been below par without you.

Enjoy the game mate.

    Well I have no idea what to expect today.

    But it's currently raining which is good to see but hopefully it's cleared up by game time

    My sleepy eyes read this as breastfed.

    Initial thought was you getting the maids to feed the dogs.

    Just hitting 28 degrees at 9am up in Sydney, and it is another of those days where the sun pierces your bones.

    The in-laws arrive in about 30 minutes.

    Oh, please, holy Demon powers, transport me to a chilly, sodden and windy MCG for an afternoon.

    looks like still a bit of rain forecast around 3-6pm

    it's a huge test for us today

    i loathe all the franchises, but i reserve a special level of opprobrium for gw$, al begun before they'd even played a game from the get go caused by them taking away a #1 pick from us after he'd played a mere 31 games in red and blue

    Is Turner injured, or just not picked?

    I'm no great weather forecaster but there is currently some rain and bluster ( not only mine ) at The Manor. This , combined with a look at the radar and an examination of a hapless chook's innards convinces me that inclement conditions will be all gone by this arvo.

    It’s going to be windy as hell though.

    Lets get it done!

    Devastated i cant be there for Jim's game and get a chance to wear one of my fav guernseys.

    Good Evening Dees fans.

    A while since I posted but hope you've all had a great "off season."

    All the best for 2025! (and before this thread gets nasty...) Let's remember they're a good side and we've got 6 debutants! Lots can go wrong, but fingers crossed for a W.

    Go Dees!

    Also add the fact they have played one game and we are first up.

    HarpenDees post should be pinned to the top of the GameDay thread and anyone who posts forced to read and accept their understanding before they can pass :)

    Cant wait to get to game time. Lots of rain in Melbourne and not looking like it will clear fully. Cant decide if that's a good or bad thing for our chances. Keen to see the debutants and all having a serious attacking and defensive crack for 4 quarters. 

    Go Dees.

    how could i forget the dollar man got his right whack career wise in the end

     

    I am probably going to the game but I'm finding it hard to care when we have a very good chance of an Aussie Grand Prix winner.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
