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

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
