No MFC injuries = a brilliant spectacle

10/10 would recommend.

    Found myself cheering on WA. Not sure why, maybe seeing Daicos and Smith v Kozzi and Rivers.

    Great to see some footy! Origin worked for me. they went in, played hard. was a good watch

    I was very cynical but this has been a far better game than I expected.

    High standard game but for the spectators, are we passionate about the format? About winning?

    A lot rests with the under 35's. If they love it, there's a chance it can work long term

    Will be interested to see the TV & Streaming numbers. At a guess, I reckon the numbers will be very good

    But long term, Gonzo?

    Rivers with 24 disposals. He looked pedestrian early but has worked his way into the game.

    Gawny looked like he was going through the motions.

    Kozzie looked electric but never seemed to get any reward.

    I too was barracking for WA and I have never even step foot in that state before.

    Same here and thought the same too. I think it was the underdog syndrome

    I think it's pretty well established that Gawn works best as a solo act and not part of an ensemble.

    Not overly surprised to see him down on his usual form.

    He always takes some time to get up and running. I thought he was serviceable after getting smashed by Cameron early

    Soccer has it's Charity Shield's as does Rugby League (Rabbitohs & Dragons played tonight)

    The NFL has it's Hall of Fame game as well in the pre-season

    So as a season opener per se, I reckon it can work but WA deserve to host the game (or a game) next year and beyond

    Need to get S.A involved somehow but that's the tricky bit

    It was a fair-dinkum match played at a high standard so that box was ticked. Needs the support of the viewing public, both short term and long term

    Seeing the 3 present MFC'ers plus 3 ex (Jackson, Hogan, Bedford) ... that would have been a team!

    Which is why the Grundy experiment failed, but it was NOT Grundy's fault at all,!!

    Rapt our boys got through.

    Feel for weitering. That looked nasty.

    But was it just me, or did it feel like that game seem to go forever? I know weiterings injury extended the first quarter, but it did feel like the game dragged on.

    I enjoyed it though

    Most of his possessions were from frees.

    Daicos did not want to get hit tonight and it showed, just shuns contact at all cost!

    Daicos is not an in and under type but he dominated the game tonight. Doesn't waste a possession and got it 38 times tonight

    The bloke is a star

    If the players play like they care and the supporters turn up it will be ok, especially as a preseason hit out. Needs to be WA or SA hosting Vic though, a game at the G might get a decent crowd as a one off but ongoing the supporters would drop off like they did in the 90s. The players will feed off the crowd if there's a packed Optus stadium or Adelaide Oval.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
