i beleive that we will have an ok draw, first 2 games on a saturday against some bigger drawing clubs at the G, one home, one away..

A good way to start. only one friday night appearance though, which is to be expected. The rest is pretty standard demon / AFL fixturing!

    Thanks!

    But please more information!!!

    Who we playing round 1? I'm tipping Hawthorn.

    How many interstate?

    I know we play Port mid year in Darwin.

    Cheers.

    And can we trust you as a source? Cam Schwab won't let anything out of the bag

    Buddy is suspended round 1 I think.

    I'm sick of playing Hawthorn first up. Wish it was West Coast at the G round 1.

    Are you crazy? Why would you want that? What would we get from having less than 20,000 at the G First round?

    Two good games to start the season. We wont be anyone's doormat anymore. There are quite a number of Demons with things to prove to the world...will be worth watchnig ;)

    maybe Carlton 3rd game in ?? :lol:;)

    Would like a game where we have a good chance of winning (not a big chance, but a chance). Would be good for the team to kick of the year with a win. Maybe a team like Carlton or Essendon, but I doubt it. Either way, can't wait till round 1 regardless of who it is.

    Am also a bit sick of playing Hawks early on, though appreciate their current pulling power. Carlton would be interesting. Good to hear the club is being pro-active, but yet to be convinced about the fixture given last year.

    Lets hope they are OUR home games then!

    We deserve what we get after the last 3 years. Respect must be earn"t, which isn't a bad thing at all.

    Darwin game on a Sat night in May against Port.

    Darwin game on a Sat night in May against Port.

    That Game is worth around $500K to us from what i have read, so i agree with it, as Melb v Port at the 'G has never been a crowd Puller.

    Remember those mothers day Games.

    For us at the Moment Darwin Games are good business.

    Hawthorn R1 is a good matchup, considering Buddy is still suspended. That game would get a good crowd.

    Pies game would have to be away game as we always have them at home on Queens Birthday.

    Throw in Chance Bateman (also susp.) and the departure of Mark Williams who always murders us.

    Didn't say we didn't (deserve it), if that makes sense. Just remembering that it got worse after from the initial draft.

    I can see the point of playing either west coast, freo or another interstate team round 1. It would be round 1 so we would get over 20,000 because people would come to see our new players play to see how they go, also we would be expected to win and winning round 1 would be great. It would be better than round 13 and we have only a few wins and then no one would come.

    I stoked about the Darwin games 500k for the club + a win (maybe) but now I can go up to NT every year for a small break get on the [censored] go fishing and watch the footy life doesn't get much better.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
