This was on the tail end of the fixture article for next year:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/mond...x-1225792251723

"the Sunday twilight Western Bulldogs-Collingwood clash in Round 22 was always a recipe for disaster as both appeared certain to play finals.The draw will reward the elite teams with plenty of free-to-air games, but Melbourne has successfully lobbied for fewer Demons games on Foxtel. the Demons had just 10 games on Seven or Ten."

Which is great for the club and me as I don't have foxtel...and being WA to see the boys play more often.

actually, as far as melbourne-based supporters go, i'm not that fussed. it will mean that people will actually have to come to our games, rather than stay at home and watch them. it will only help our financial situation, and we can't really complain about that.

sucks for supporters scattered around the rest of the country though.

Not exactly... In Perth for example, free to air games will be bumped for Freo or West Coast games, if those games are allocated to Foxtel and are on around the same time... But it doesn't work the other way around, so the FTA game that is bumped, won't be on any TV at all except for a delayed replay on Foxtel later that night at some stage...

I'm moving to Perth next year, and looking at the fixture, there will be only 2 games I won't be able to see over in WA. When we play Carlton and Sydney, both at the G I believe... Could've been a lot worse...

When it comes out, if it hasn't come out already, can someone point me in the direction of the NSW/ACT TV draw. I'm there next year.

Much appreciated.

Don't forget you can always stream games live off your computer, Just ask before a game & you will find the right place-I watched Finals in asia on computers this year.

well no...not really! I live in Brisbane and without Foxtel, I'd see hardly any games all year!

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
