    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.

    Nightmare first 3 weeks in terms of chances of victory but overall a decent draw, with plenty of MCG games. We need to try and pinch one of those first 3 game sto prevent a downward spiral....

  • Quote

    This is brilliant.

    Only St Kilda and Geelong once!!!

    Man we should be definetly be aiming for 7-9 wins IMO with this draw

  • Quote

    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.

    If that's not the draw from heaven, I don't know what is.

    It's better than the best draw I could have ever thought of.

  • Quote

    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.

    Remember that with the improved stadium deals this draw has the potential to really rake in some serious cash for the club.

    From a scheduling perspective, I am pretty pleased with how this looks.

  • Quote

    Great draw for next year! Richmond twice, that's two opportunities to show our gratitude to Jordan McMahon. God bless his dirty little mo.

    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.

    There are a few Sunday games with us starting at 2.10 and a second game at 2.40, I assumed th 2.10 game would go free to air, looks like the 2.40 games will

  • Quote
    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.

    Demons will make the eight with that draw! Dont be surprised!

    Full steam ahead!!!!

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
