An interesting post from THE EQUALIZER here saying that the AFL have requested that clubs detail their wishes for the 11 home games. Somewhat cat and mouse given you have to predict the thoughts of the 15 other clubs, but history shines some light about. Thoughts? I'll post an attempt after dinner :)

    1 or 2 sunday games in Melbourne not all sundays!

    More than one night game, and less Sunday games. That's all i really want from them as long as they put all home games at the G (apart from the sold one/s obviously).

    - QB v Collingwood

    - Two home games in Canberra

    - All other home games at the 'G

    - Spread of days/times

    I hate nothing more than when we play late on a Sunday. No more twilight games, no Sunday games at Subi.

    I have a young cousin from a Collingwood family who I've converted, and his even younger brother is susceptible to persuasion. Unfortunately, I can't take them along to Sunday games because the older brother plays footy. His dad and eldest brother are whispering in his ear to go back to the Pies and I fear with another draw like this years we'll lose them.

    Don't tell Demetriou this. There's nothing he'd like more than for us to dissapear.

    1) QB vs Collingwood (preferably our home match)

    2) At least 4 matches at night-time, of which at least 2 are Friday night

    3) No more than 2 twilight games (one of which is likely to be in Perth)

    4) Home matches at MCG (i.e. not Dome) except for 2 matches in Canberra

    Dear Sir Alex Demetriou (and his muppet Adrian Anderson),

    My wish list (I have put a bit of thought into this): -

    We at MFC would like: -

    1 x QB Home Game at G on Monday v Collingwood

    3 x Friday Night Home games (not 1); including one on Good Friday(Night) - controversial I know......

    3 x Home Games at the G on a Saturday (2.10pm bounce);

    2 x Canberra Home games (agree Rogue)

    2 x Home games at the G on a Sunday (2.10pm bounce)

    And Interstate fixtures against Sydney at ANZ Stadium; Hawthorn in Launceston; 2 trips to Subiaco; 1 trip to AAMI.

    Total = 5 Interstate trips

    And away games against: - Bulldogs, Kangaroos, Carlton, Richmond, St.Kilda and Geelong. With the Bulldogs and Carlton games being ticketed for members courtesy of the 2 games in Canberra.

    Regards,

    High Tower.

    First off, you do know it's Andrew, not Alex?

    I personally wouldn't want a match on Good Friday (day or night), but that's just me.

    Those 2 trips to Subiaco are likely to be Sunday Twilight. MFC would never play at ANZ Stadium (and judging by the surface, I doubt the MFC would want to), but other than that, it sounds alright to me. Probably not enough matches at the G (only 11).

    What others have said about Melbourne's draw, plus C'wood to have at least their share of interstate games.

    Apologies re: Alex, where did I get Alex from? I meant Andrew. ;)

    Probably got Alex from Jesaulenko during a brain fade lapse..... :huh:

    Regarding the matches at the G, away games at the G to Richmond, Kangaroos and Carlton, bring the tally to 12. 2 games at the Dome in Bulldogs and St.Kilda, and 1 at Skilled.

    I like that draw plan HT :)

    Sometimes to get your the Home games you want ie Friday night games/blockbusters, you have to give a little to the AFL, so lets put our hands up for next year and give to the AFL 5 interstate trips in return.

    The benefit is our young players get used to travelling, in preparation for a rapid improvement for the 2010 season. Then we'll ask for just 3 interstate trips in 2010 with more games at our G!!!!!!!!!!

    Let's plan for our players I say!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
