2008 Fixture

Little Goffy
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I'm just going over the '08 fixture thinking about which games I'm best off making the effort to travel to get to.

Queen's Birthday has been fun for the last few years, mark that in.

But which games have the highest interest for people around here?

I'll start by adding -

Carlton in Round five. We should be a bit more settled under the new coach by then, some of the under-50 gamers will have a grip on their increased role in the absence of the veteran depth players Ward/Brown/Johnstone/Pickett/Bizzell. I'd love this to be the breakout game for a new Melbourne. Not our first win, of course, but the first game we really, really show there's something powerful coming through. I don't quite hate Carlton, it's more like disgust.

    Round 3: V Geelong at KP. I know it sounds like i just like punishment, but it's a match i always look forward to cause it's our last connection to local Football and i LOVE going down there, screeming until my throat is sore, and getting dirty looks from the local ferals!

    Round 11: QB, DUH!

    Round 14: Our first match against Brisbane at the MCG since 1999(?). It's been too long, and i'm so increadibly happy it's over with. While i'm still not comfortable with us selling games to Canberra, it's better than the GABBAtoir.

    Round 19: Our ONLY Friday night game, thank you very much AFL. Against Geelong, if we are in contention for the finals it could make for a big night.

    ROUND 1

    Season opener against Hawthorn. Great way to kick off the season and enjoy easter with a win over that scummy mob.

    ROUND 7

    Revenge against Fremantle at the MCG after Hackland and the Dockers dominated us at the G last year. Game will be significant for me as I'll be heading overseas for a couple of years shortly after this game.

    I thought it'd be longer than this before we were re-writing history regarding TJ. Depth player is a little harsh!

    It would be nice to get a win over the Blues, but if I had to choose one guaranteed home and away match win, it'd have to be QB.

    You're right, should've been veteran and depth players, or something. But the sentiment is right - young players competing for newly opened opportunities.

    Mention of Johnstone has me thinking the round 14 game against Brisbane at the 'G. I'm reckoning Bartram is the obvious match-up for TJ, similar build that's for sure.

    I'm slightly bitter about TJ letting us down for so many years, but not in a nasty kind of way. I'd love to see him tackled fairly but effectively again and again and again until he cries. That's all. So Maybe Junior on to him.

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
