the first five rounds already are [censored] house

we want home games that draw big crowds

we play both richmond and collingwood away at the G

and play adelaide at home (f***ing twilight game) and north melbourne at home on the f***ing day of the grand prix

the draw so far is utterly crap

Not one home Friday night game? Yay.

4 weeks in a row, port an wc at the G, Cats at Geelong and then another "home game" against Sydney at Manuka (though apparently, that's not unfair because you must keep intact the integrity of the league)

Pies round 2, massive

We Have:

7 home games against victorian teams (1 sat, 5 sun, 1 mon)

5 interstate games (2 sat, 3 sun)

All up we have 1 friday night game, 8 saturday games, 12 sunday games, 1 monday game

I've now had time to go through it. We've been royally fcuked over.

Adelaide, Port Adelaide, Fremantle, and West Coast all home at the G.

And the AFL doesn't compensate us for the inequality of the draw. Maybe the AFL sees this as there last chance to kick us out.

Two night matches for the whole year and neither of them are our home games, thanks AFL. Way to run an even competition, really helping us get back on our feet.

Day spread is something like this:

Friday: 1 (Not home)

Saturday day: 6 (2 Home)

Saturday Night: 1 (Not home)

Sunday Day: 10 (7 home)

Sunday twilight: 3 (1 home)

Monday: 1 (home)

I thought last years scheduling was horrible, but this is just disgusting. Having seen what having all those Sunday games did to us last year they still thought it was fair to give us a crap load of them again. I wouldn't have minded so much if they'd given us an even spread of home games on other days, but no it's all good. I am so [censored] off right now, just wanna walk up to AFL headquarters and spit on the building.

OK - 2 things.

1. From a financial viewpoint, this is an utter, utter, utter disgrace and potentially very damaging.

HOWEVER

Point 2 - From a playing perspective, I actually don't think its too bad. Depending on how Bailey works his magic over summer, a bullish start to the season is possible. (OK, slightly optimistic, but better that the Hawks, Dogs and Cats we copped this year).

Lets face it, if the teams performance isn;t up to scratch, then the most favourable draw in the world isn't going to help.

.. but I don;t like Sunday games.. not as easy to enjoy a few beers with it

Here's Gillon McLachan's take on our draw:

"They’ve got a good footy draw. What they do have is a lot of Sundays.

"In the end there’s actually no difference between your average crowd on a Sunday versus a Saturday, but it will have an impact on their corporates.

"That’s where the impact is felt, on the corporate revenue.

"We try to do the best we can to keep everyone happy in the end and there’ll always be a couple of clubs who I guess will be marginally more disenfranchised or marginally less happy than everyone else."

Sunday, B1oody Sunday! I don't believe it - how disgusting! How does our draw compare to other teams for Sunday games...? Surely there can't be any worse than our unfortunate MFC.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
