Can we get rid of all other umps and have Matt umpire ever game every round - including goal, boundary and ARC?

    Yep you know it’s GameDay when it’s 10am and already you’ve had three coffees and five cigarettes and you’re about to crack open your first Red Bull.

     I slept terribly last night, can’t imagine how our debutants slept. I even dreamt about today (spoiler alert: we won!).

    The weather makes today tricky… not in terms of the match. Rather, what to wear. 😅 A poncho is the only cert. ☔️🌧

    All things considered…

    We’ve got this!

    Dees by The Bison - 19pts

    GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS! 

    GIVE ‘EM HELLLLLL

    It’s The Bison’s birthday! Let’s hope he has the best birthday present ever… a win on debut!

    lucky to get that post past the mods they had look at it then let go thanks boys

    And it’s your last. Or second last. Goodbye. 

    Note to all not necessarily related to this. Do not attempt to bypass the profanity filter. Do not derail threads. If you want to have private in-jokes take it to the PMs. 

    You would have got away with it too but you just had to taunt the mods. 

    Our mods work tirelessly on a voluntary basis. Show some respect.

    It's showtime, and your ever reliable Uncle Bitter is manfully shaking off a number of ailments to head to the G today.

    In your case @Bitter but optimistic, shouldn't that be alements?

    So the new season begins, with six fresh faces wearing our beloved red and blue. I don’t quite know what to expect today, but I do know that my excitement and nervous tension is akin to what it would be if we were playing in September.  Just give it everything Dees, and make us (and Jimmy) proud!  ❤️💙

    I think we are good.

    Our players are super fit and will hit the first quarter with gusto.

    Running out the game will be the challenge, hoping GWS slow down in the fourth after their scramble in the heat last week.

    Langford to kick a long bomb from 55 out.

    Lindsay to lace out Jeffo for his first.

    AJ to bring the pain to Taylor who has to sit under a bomb.

    Sharp to run from contest to contest, as well as create overlap.

    Henderson, haven't seen enough of him to know what he will bring.

    What a day, new system, many new players, and our Clarry and Petracca with good preseasons.

    Langdon to run the central rail, end to end, hope a couple of goals will fall his way.

    Sparrow to dominate (always hopeful). 

    C'mon Chandler, time for a half-forward to kick 3, conditions are made for him.

    The big boys May and Lever firing, and Max has other options, then exhausting himself (AJ). 

     Time for some entertainment.

    Go Dees!

    After watching every game so far that’s included a team that played last week I’m a little bit more worried haha

    although rain might actually help us with their clean play. Yes we aren’t good In rain but hopefully doesn’t help them as much haha

    I worry that our game plan will be slow and long as per Freo game and the game will be over by half time.

    Hope no-one gets hurt on the turf. A lot of players slipping on Friday night and it has been raining almost all morning today.

    Feeling that the scheduling of this game is just plain stupid. Not only Sunday afternoon game against a no fan base stupid franchise but going head to head against the F1 GP - why is any AFL scheduled for the actual race time of the F1s - massive international focus on the city, no where else in the world would this happen

    And let’s be honest… a significant portion of our fanbase won’t attend because of the rain.

    How’s the weather looking? I turned on the telly, only to see that everything at Albert Park has been red flagged and cancelled so far (F3 and Touring Cars).

    The rain’s set in. It’s meant to stop by 3pm but who knows, coz Melbourne. It might be 36 degrees at 3pm, it might be 13 degrees, again, Melbourne.

    Can’t wait. 

    Really hope that enough of us are prepared to brave the rain to go today. The weather and the GP are going to severely dent our crowd. Just our luck that in March, when we could have had mild sunny weather, we get this.

    Rain will be well gone by 3, relax folks, turn up and enjoy the win. It'll blow over by around one and then give the ground 2 hours to dry out.

    What.... a challenge.  Surely you're taking the proverbial there Kev ?

    Just off their preseason....  if they aren't fit today.... then we're a joke surely.

    Match fit is different to being fit.

    Those extra and repeat efforts cannot trained for.

    The advantage to the club with a second up, as compared to first up game.

    i'm about 3km as the crow flies to the g and it's been raining consistently since about 7am

    bom says it's a 50% chance of 2mm from 2-5pm, so it's going to be wet and slippery i suspect

    Big game for Kade Chandler after a couple of down practice matches.

    These conditions will favour smalls, and with Pickett out, he takes on the responsibility of being our no.1 small forward today.

    I'm not to worried about the weather and our fitness.

    I  am a little worried about GWS having that game under their belt, the sides that have played already have looked a bit cleaner this week skills wise, where last week the games were pretty average in that regard.  Hopefully we are on!

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
