Having gone through round by round, this is MUCH better than any fixture we have had recently. No home games vs Port/Fremantle on Sundays.

10 Sunday games is 3 less than this year and 5 less than 2008. Can't complain. Generally we play good drawing clubs on Sundays.

Great that we host Hawthorn in round 1 - $$$$

We also host Essendon for the first time since 2005.

Pretty good draw.

We even play Sydney at the MCG instead of Manuka and SCG.

Tough first 3 weeks in Hawks, Pies and Adelaide at the G.

Avoid Geelong, Dogs and St Kilda twice.

Host a Friday (V Dogs) and Saturday night game (V Lions) at the G.

Financially this is good. West Coast at home could be a problem, but Adelaide and Sydney have bigger drawing capabilities than Port and Fremantle.

Club says 15 MCG games, I only count 14. Etihad only twice is good too.

Just the one Friday Night is a bit of a bummer, but at least it's vs the Dogs, who should be top 4.

Does anyone have a link to a copy of the draw that has home/away in it? The AFL's website has the full Melbourne fixture, but it doesn't say whose home match each is.

Edit: Also just noticed that we have 3 twilight matches, but none of them look like being our home game.

Looks to me that we will also get 12-13 free to air games, all interstate home games at he MCG we should be able to draw over 20K and our other MCG we should draw over 40K. In fact 3 games Haw, Coll, Ess we should hit above 50K. The club must be happy

If you look round by round, it will state the home team.

9 free to air according to http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/melb...f-1225792711268 (not including Round 22).

Edit: None of our interstate games are on free to air. Of the 9, they're all MCG matches except 2

Wasn't there an article that stated we successfully negotiated to have less Foxtel games and more free to air.

7 Foxtel games in the first 9. MFC and its sponsors should be furious with the non exposure.

You're right. More bulls^^t from the HUN:

"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."

We went backwards, not forward, FFS.

The draw is a huge improvement on recent years, and it should improve further from 2011 onwards as our on-field success, brand of football and drawing power improve. I couldn't be happier in the circumstances.

The cynic in me suggests that the improvement for 2010 may have a little to do with improved relations between the Board and the AFL. Maybe the AFL is even starting to realise that the Melbourne 'brand' is on the up, and will again have some real substance.

I know round 22 is floating, but it also is a friday night game.

Are we assuming MFC and NMFC are certainties to be re-allocated ?

Maybe not a bad thing .. the game is scheduled for 12:00am. Bring a blanket.

Ed: "Club says 15 MCG games, I only count 14." 15 = 14 MCG + 1 sold to TIO. NT

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
