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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
