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

It's not a Friday night game. They haven't decided when Round 22 games are going to be played. Since us and North are unlikely to be playing finals, it'll most likely be a Sunday match.

And 14 MCG matches = 14 MCG matches.

Absolutely sensational draw on a number of fronts:

1. First and foremost, as supporters of the Melbourne Football Club, we should be elated that we have 14 games at our MCG. That is a fantastic result and the biggest concern for me every year.

2. We play Hawthorn, North Melbourne, Adelaide, Port Adelaide, Richmond, Collingwood and Brisbane twice. We've avoided playing the top 3 twice, and get Richmond, North and Port twice.

3. We have only 10 Sunday games in 2010, down from 13 in 2009. Only 4 of these are home games.

4. The Foxtel games haven't increased.

5. Only 5 interstate games. Anything fewer than 6 is a miracle for the MFC.

For a team that has been absolute garbage on field the last three years and has attracted pathetic crowds during this time, the draw is almost a joke in our favour. Beautiful. I half expect the AFL to turn around and say "only joking - here's 6 interstate game, 11 MCG games, 15 Sunday games and the top 3 twice".

Great draw for the MFC, More Saturdays !!!

The Draw looks good & is an improvement on recent years

In fact on closer inspection we have a real opportunity to hit back hard in 2010 with this draw.

HOWEVER

8 Sunday games in last 10 rounds in useless to the huge market that includes G.Lyon & myself

who have teenage kids playing Junior Footy.

Selfess view I know however a reality in my circumstances.

I guess we will just have to make the most of live action in the 1st 13 Rounds of 2010.

Well all things considered not too bad. Would have preferred a more even approach to Sat and Sun through the season but it could have been , and has been far worse. Bonus not having too many at the Dome ( dont like the dome ) though annual Daddy / daughter will be there <_<

When we give them something to think about our exposure on free to air will improve. Its up to us. As they say...no excuses... Go Dees :)

On the financial side, don't forget the game we play at TIO against Port where we will get some good $$$ out of playing in the NT.

How much are we getting paid to do this?

Great draw, would like more saturday games, but it's definitely an improvement. We're not going to get more Saturday games than this until we start getting more games on Friday nights, which hopefully will come in time as we improve.

We should win 6 games bare minimum with that draw. What makes me even happier is the Bomber's terrible draw, big task for them to make the 8 next season...

Also good to have a home game against those Essendon grubs. I wonder if they'll wear their clash jumper which clashes with our strip even more?

Impressive fixture for Melbourne a little disappointing we don't get free to air coverage till week 6

But I'm happy I can go to the G and see the dees 8 games in a row this year.

It's the best we could have hoped for let's see the boys do us proud.

How awesome would it be if we could start by beating the Hawks then Magpies.

I can't wait to get to the footy next year it's gonna be great.

Their draw isn't as miraculous as everybody makes it out to be. They play Geelong, Stkilda and the Dogs twice. And incidentally they have a good interstate record so less interstate games isn't too much of an advantage. I understand about the travel/fatigue factor but every club has to deal with it. Our draw is better I reckon...

Cameron Schwab's take:

"Having 14 games at the MCG and a mix of Saturday and Sunday games, plus a Friday night game, a game in Darwin and the Queen's Birthday are rounds ... I think it's a really positive result for us.

"The one thing about the Sunday games is that at least you can get a bit of a rhythm happening in your season - I know they're not everyone's preference - but it's actually harder when you play Saturday, Sunday, Saturday and Sunday again.

"That's because of the six and eight-day breaks and those sorts of things. When you put breaks between our games, we get 14 out of the 22 at the 'G and the big run early gives us an opportunity of building momentum into our season.

"The AFL was very responsive when we sat down and spoke to them and we got a good hearing."

This is an outrage. Yet another disgraceful draw. Bloody AFL! Vlad and co are out to put us out of business for good, when will this vendetta end?

Wait, sorry, pre-meditated response.

Like everyone else, really happy with this draw.

Fantastic draw. Can't ask for much more given our position in the last two years.

Can't believe we get to host both a Friday and Saturday night home games. Amazing.

Agree.

We got a draw outside of what we deserve.

Hopefully, 2010 will bring performances, on and off the field, that make us deserving of an even better draw.

And by 'off the field' I am not saying 'profits equal a better draw,' I'm saying that 'better crowds equal a better draw.'

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
