Saying we are playing lions at gabba in round 2, so you would assume we get a home game round 1

    Surprising if we play crows r1 and its in Melbourne, would've thought they'd want that match in Adelaide. Although if we're playing Gabba R2 would be a bit rough to start the year with back to back interstate games.

    Would be unprecedented if a VIC club starts the season with two interstate trips. Has never happened.

    So lock it in that we'll be playing West Coast round 1 in Perth, then Brisbane round 2 at the GABBA.

    Scary enough as you could be right. But I think we will have a game in vic in between founds 3 and 4.

    So round 4 would be cats at simmonds.

    We usually get a lot of home games early then do a tour of Aus in the second half of the year. Wouldn't mind if it's reversed next year.

    Saints will be happy to play at casey against us. Practically could run their family day there that night. Casey and that region is St Kilda heartland and will never be Melbournes anything

    Thread for actual news not wishes. :P

    I still can't get used to seeing the words 'Melbourne' and 'Blockbuster' in the same sentence!

    Damn, I would have liked the 'Pies first-up. Hope it's not the Crows. Then it'll become all about Lever which puts unnecessary and unfair pressure on the kid.

    No issues with that. Home game on our home ground. A great way to start the season and test ourselves. 

    Will be a huge turnout. Very happy.

    Massive first game.  60 plus at the G.

    Demons to smack the Cats, Hogsn to kick 7.

    Thats a great test first up.

    We would have beaten them earlier in the year if we didn't lose Gawn during the game.  They ran over us in the end, but we had them covered until 3 quarter time.

    Lever vs Ablett?  ;)

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
