NON-MFC: Round 02

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval.

On Saturday Christian Petracca will return to the MCG as his new Suns take on the Tigers. Later that day the Saints head to Greater Western Sydney to take on the Giants as they try to avoid an 0 and 3 start to the season.

Sunday will see a double header of 4 teams that will likely be propping up the ladder in 2026 as the Power host the Bombers at Adelaide Oval and the Eagles host the Kangaroos at Optus Stadium.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    Best for us is notionally accepting that we might finish ninth or tenth and snare a wild card spot.

    On that basis you want to get a break on the bottom eight teams whoever they might be.

    We know that Richmond and the Eagles will be bottom eight but which other teams make up that group. Essendon yes North (probably) Port (probably). As for the rest ??????????

    Couldn't have said it better myself.

    What reputable professional sporting competition has a bye after two rounds?

    Has anyone in the media talked about this? What possible reason would the AFL have to schedule this?

    I think it serves to even out games played for O round teams

    • dingley?

    • footscray?

    • gc17

    • gw$

    • them

    • pear

    • kangas?

    having byes this early in the season - and not even all the teams that have played in opening round - is absurd

    So make a mess of the fixture by inventing Round 0 and the mess causes more mess.

    Gee port would want to bounce back at home.

    Adelaide v dogs should be a cracker.

    North will probably go 2 & 0

    north are a better-than-sneaky chance to start the season HOT - could easily be 4-0 before they take on the premiers in the barossa for gather-round-gil's round

    See sheedys still hell bent on getting hird to come back & coach the club. My god man, that's not helping Brad Scott.

    Does he realise that hird set that club back, came back then resigned because he was no good

    Hawks are $1.32 and Sydney $3.30. Those odds seem a bit out of whack or is Sydney very unlikely to win?

    Oh ok, that should do it, haha

    Should be a great game, but without Heeney and Gulden the Hawks begin favourites. I want the Swans to win this so badly.

  • Quote

    Kicking in danger is gone isn't it

    Also the hawks will finish top 4. Their last 7 games are all wins

    Edit: well, maybe apart from Brisbane away

    Nb squiggle did the scores but its the best way to get a fixture in a screenshot 😂

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
