From an MFC viewpoint you want two Melbourne teams to kick away and establish themselves in positions 1 and 2.

Hard to see that happening so ideally we want to see the interstate powerhouses lose which keeps the Melbourne teams including ourselves in the hunt for a top 4 spot. 16-7 could see a team top the ladder. It got Port second spot last year with the Swans on 17-6 being number 1.

Another loss by Freo would please me

    very early in the season, but that means we are favoured by the competition being even, so best results for us would see:

    • baggers
    • draw
    • peptides
    • tiggas
    • aints

    Urghhhh, I would find it very funny If Carlton are 0-2, not so funny would be Hawks at 3-0.

    Lions V Eagles could be a bloodbath. Mcwalter is going to find out how serious many of his senior players are about contributing.

    I find it so hard to watch matches without choosing a side to barrack for. But the silly thing is by August each year a lot of results I cheered on meant Melbourne finished lower on the ladder, even if that's still 4th . But still I'll keep doing it

    Voss could reasonably stake his job on the Blues coming out hard against Hawthorn. Curnow is a big in but it would not matter two squirts if Carlton brought the mental state they brought to the Richmond game.

    It feels bizarre to say so, but I'd be looking at thursday as a 50/50 game with a solid prospect of outright biffo for flavour.

    There's an unpleasant sensation that this season could see multiple clubs either fall horribly short of their aspirations and go into crisis that way, and multiple other clubs simple fall horribly.

    Each of Fremantle, Port, Carlton and Collingwood could be exposed badly this season and find themselves faceplanting into a closing window.

    Essendon, Gold Coast, North and Adelaide are all working under a significant pressure to show overdue progress.

    St Kilda would be looking at West Coast like the Ghost of Christmas Future.

    West Coast have Lions at the Gabba, Freo at home, then GWS in Sydney to start their season. My gut feels like I swallowed an avocado whole when I think about that scenario too much. Or perhaps it is simply the Ghost of Christmas Past, haunting me.

     

    Strange side note - how will Gold Coasts 1 game on, 1 game off start to the season affect their performance for round 3?

    @Demonland feel free to rename thread and do your thang.

    Just wanted to make a brief comment on the expected crowd tonight. Drenching rain, Thursday night. Lucky to pull 25K tonight I reckon... where as  last Sunday Max Laughton the **** of a Fox News reporter potted us again about poor crowd turnout and neglected to mention that the GP was on and monsoon season for 1 day in Melbourne and we were playing GWS who have a total of 3 supporters, 2 of which are the pets of the only supporter known to exist.

    Dockers v Swans is a tough one.

    Just so hard to know who to support. I guess the evil me wants to see a dozen hammies and ACLs from both teams.

    Gotta do my baracking bit.

    I can only ever cheer Carlton on if they're playing Collingwood. Barely.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • 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.
