Caroline Wilson has revealed the following from the fixture next year which is not confirmed yet:

- MFC to get one Friday night home game

- Significantly less Sunday games which will please the masses.

- Playing Richmond on the Gold Coast as an away game

I'm alse led to believe we play Port Adelaide at AAMI on Easter Sunday in about round 3 next year, and will also play them at the G later in the year.

Post further leaks if you hear any!

A friday night home game is great news for a team that finished last with 3 wins last year!

Does anyone know when the official fixture comes out?

No, but I expect it within 2 weeks.

Hopefully the Fri night game will be earlier in the season and be against a Carlton, Hawthorn or Essendon to maximise gate receipts.

Knowing the AFL, they'll schedule Melbourne V's Fremantle in round 20 on a Friday night :rolleyes:

Same here, hopefully Bris at the Gabba for our sake. Will be making more trips back to Melbourne this year though, and a Friday night game against an Essendon, Hawthorn etc. would be a good one.

I dont think we can expect more than one friday night game, as we get Queens bday aswell. And less Sunday games is a win.

One Friday home game, well at least we got one. I'd hope we get three the following year after some exciting footy next year.

Considering our performance last year, especially on the Friday-Night stage (against Geelong) we don't deserve more than one this year. At the MCG I'll be happy to trundle along though. Just as long as we don't have as many Sunday games as last year, I am OVER Sunday games... Saturday Arvo is the best time I think and would probably get me going alot more.

Also, as long as we're keeping the QB game against the black & white filth, I just love going to that game (doesn't even matter if we lose - still hillarious watching the toothless magpie bogans) all on a day off!

Although, I did hear Brumby trying to push for a Melbourne Show public-holiday which would mean getting rid of one somewhere else... and i saw QB thrown up... nooooooo.

1 Friday night home game! It must have hurt Vlad scheduling us one considering there weren't any major events such as opening ceremonies for olympic games to run up against us.

I would also like to not have to play the cats at bloody skilled stadium, im sick of us going down there and getting flogged every year, apart from last year where it was one of our best games that we did not win.

Geelong have asked to play us at Skilled Stadium in August next year to celebrate their 150th birthday.

I think our two games before that were a draw and a close win, but prior to that we hadn't won down there since the 80's.

1 home Friday night game, but maybe also some away Friday night games?

We're going to be on Foxtel a lot next year, which I guess is good if we're in Melbourne because it should encourage people to go to the match.

All the more reason to get rid of the Labor state government.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
