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?

Nah...I WANT to play someone like the Sqawkers early :).. I like the idea of the pies twice.

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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
