I am coming down to Melbourne and this will be my first ever AFLW game. Would love to meet up with any Demonlanders who will be at the match.

A slow start cost us against Freo. We need Hore to get back to her best been a bit quiet the last 2 weeks.

Yep Molloy out. Which is a shame because I'd like to see her play live, but then again, I'm not complaining 😉 Depending how all the tests went today, we might need all the help we can get! In the unlikely event that all those players under a cloud aren't available, we're actually down to 21 fit. But surely a few should be good to go.

Yay! Heater, S. Taylor and Lampy all back, and Tay, Goldy and Ryleigh fine after their scares! 😁

Best news ever, especially right now. A much-needed shot in the arm. Bring on Saturday!

Your first W match! How exciting!!! You’ll love it, guaranteed. Watching our team live is so good.

Try to get there a little early to avail yourself of the freebies and partner giveaways and face-painting, etc.

There’s this crazy passionate cheer squad member who’d love to meet you.

She’ll be either on BBQ duties (till b!ttchh extraordinaire) or on a flogger.

Right now she’s having a hard time coming to terms with all the changes at our club so another friendly face will be most welcome.

We're finally completing the set of 17 opponents, nearly four seasons after the last expansion!

🏳️‍🌈 And happy home Pride game! 🏳️‍🌈

Avg. games experience of teams as selected:

Melbourne: 47.0

Sydney: 32.7

As selected, Sydney has a median age of 22 compared to Melbourne's 24. I know I'll have eyes on teen sensation Zippy Fish!

2025 form against same oppo:

Melbourne: R3 Coll (+4), R4 Rich (+37), R7 GC (+87), R9 Freo (-5)

Sydney: R1 Rich (+20), R2 GC (+82), R4 Freo (+25), R5 Coll (-26)

2025 form against current top 6:

Melbourne: N/A (!)

Sydney: Nth (-68), Adel (-2), Carl (+39)

2025 top goal scorers:

Melbourne: Hore (15), Zanker (12), Harris (11), Bannan (7), Gall (6)

Sydney: Molloy (19), Cooper (7), C.Hamilton (7), Ham (7), Kennedy (4)

Barring any late outs, the 5 players not selected are the most we've had available outside the selected 21 all season. From Round 1 onwards: 3, 4, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 5


With Molloy out and Heath, Lampard and S.Taylor in the side which makes as look a lot stronger I think we should win this game I wasn't sure about the Freo game I thought it would be like the Port game and I was right, I'd be surprised if we lost this game.

We are almost full strength with Mackin and Gall only a week away, unfortunately Purcell is out for the year, huge loss.

The team

B: O'Hehir, Gillard

HB: Goldrick, S.Taylor, Chaplin

C: McNamara, Hanks, Paxman

I will definitely get there early although I think my face painting days are behind me 🤣. Put an extra sausage on the BBQ, I’ll be the slightly lost looking, old bloke.

No excuses tomorrow, that’s a strong side we have named. Go Dees!

Oof. We could be in for a rude shock soon.

Not enough info for her, FND. We are a surprisingly big tribe.

I like to think, as a top-6 team, that we'll at least inflict their 'average loss' on them, i.e. about 68 plus 2 minus 39 divided by 3 - 'a coupla goals'.

Though I would like to be a little less stressed than waiting for that result would make me!

Yes, I added this for managing expectations (mainly my own!).

On my "more realistic ladder", we're about 6th and hoping to lock in finals and build form for the pointy end. It could all fall apart or we could be in for an exciting run!

A slightly lost looking old bloke huh? It might be easier for you to find me 😆 Just ask literally anyone in the cheer squad to point out the crazy chook lady 😅

Oh and one is never too old for face paint!

Seeya tomorrow!

PS: I’ll be the one in red and blue 😝

(Cheer squad joke - never not funny)

In 'adults' (read, anyone over 14 these days, it seems, though they may all actually be 20-somethings and it's just me...) it's called tattooing...

Regarding that, are we going backwards atm, teams having worked us out? - a team wanting flowing chains, that can be clogged with the right type and amount of pressure? The last 3 rounds, including the Ws, we've looked vulnerable in that type of game.

Port have done us a favour beating the Hawks

Got to win this game tomorrow

if we do, we're in with a great chance of second particularly as hawks still have North to come

The issue is now becoming avoiding an interstate week-1 final in Brisbane or Adelaide. A win tomorrow will go a ways to fending that off.

🥳 GAMEDAY 🥳

We really need to win today, getting back in the top two is crucial. Hawthorn’s loss last night and our healthy percentage says we can!!!

Dees by Captain Kate (10pts)

WE CAN DO THIS!

LFG!

  • NON-MFC: Round 01

    With Opening Round done and dusted, Round 1 sees the full AFL competition finally swing into action for 2026. Discuss all the games this week that do not involve the Dees, share your tips, and let us know which results would suit Demons best.

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
