Unconfirmed rumour from a mate that Steven May is out. No other info. Take with a grain of salt at the moment. 

Adams to be #7 Demon debutant?

We've had a good spread of goal kickers in the past, with the mids having to carry some of the load.

Hoping we get a functional forward area, where we start converting the many entries, and the forwards get the majority of scores.

I'd be thinking the mids are carrying an inordinate amount of the load.

We'll  see

Go us

    Anyone on the fence about going, PLEASE GO! Crowd will be low because its against GWS, the F1 is on and the weather is poor. Let's try get at least a few more Dees supporters there to show support for our boys, and especially the debutants!

    Bbbut we might break a record??!?

    (I have no idea whether we would - I expect a franchise holds the competition record)

    18 debutants in the first game of 1897 is probably the record, held by a few teams.

    i expect an entire bay of level 2 in the afl members will be mine - m18, for milkshake, is my usual locale

    my expectation is i'll saunter up there and the usher will still do the CAN I SEE YOUR TICKET when there's NO ONE coming

    At the Saturday training he was in runners (not boots like everyone else), though still participating.

    Certainly wouldn’t risk May with such an inexperienced tall fwd line

    Bring in a small to lock down Daniels 

    Or T Mac to handle Gruz

    Love Round 1, hate that it is Sunday 3.20pm and F1 weekend. 

    I will have eyes on Jeffo who is surprisingly good in the wet (a few games at Casey last year). I am not expecting too much, but want to see his leading, effort and attitude.

    Max will be a huge factor in the game - win or lose.

    Can the 6 debutants quickly play our defence/stoppage game?

    Will our forward line look or feel different with new line coach and new faces? I definitely hope so.

    GWS are very well coached, disciplined except for their skipper, and transition as well as anyone. They go in likely favourites. 

    Should be a cracker, hoping for a 20 point win.

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

    Rain wouldn't keep this Melburnian Seattleite away!  Living in Seattle has taught me how to deal with rain.  (Living in Melbourne didn't....)

    However there's the little matter of noone has developed a teleporter yet so I'm stuck here for the nonce and only able to watch on the tv.

    This is the flattest start of a season for me that I can remember. Too much [censored] and brutality in the world. Footy seems so unimportant and not even much of a positive distraction anymore given all the pathetic dramas from the end of last season. Still I will be watching and hoping for a win. More hope than confidence.

    Looks like the rain will be clearing by bounce down which is nice. Might be some light rain to start, but should be gone pretty quickly 

     

    Good luck to the demonland faithful 

    may the good ship AFL

    bestow good luck fair seas and lots of wins

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
