am thinking of flying over. should be able to get return flights for less than 200, and it is at adelaide oval which is walking distance from the city.

obviously need to know when the game is on first though!

The AFL said it would release the fixture after round 17. Collingwood v Geelong almost a certainty for friday night, as an advantage for finishing 1st and 2nd respectively.

Have a look at http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/with-13-teams-still-in-september-contention-afl-holds-off-on-fixture/story-e6frf9jf-1226091477374.

The league's media officer, Patrick Keane, said the AFL would look at the composition of the round "in the week starting July 18".....which is this week!

I'm heading over too with a few mates. First game at Adelaide Oval may be hard to get tickets so we'll be working our asses off to make it worthwhile haha!

Is anyone really surprised that we got the worst possible timeslot? Really?

2nd worst.

It's more logical, in my view, to put Sydney on the Sunday as they wouldn't then have to travel at all and are probably gunning for the same spot as we are.

short end of the stick as usual

Yeah its terrible the AFL are so mean to us .... I just cant work out why they do it.

Why dont we call them names at every opportunity we get, post silly images about them .... Wait lets post a youtube video about them with some un-spoken meaning. Yeah that should do the trick ... we really will get them to change their mind about us.

North's a bit stiff - they are more of a chance than us but the AFL has written them off.

What else could we expect?

I will get over there if we are any chance of going into September, but for that we must win at least one of the next three.

Works out absolutely perfectly for my birthday weekend plans, plus we are on FTA B)

We probably won't make finals and Port won't either, so no wonder we get the Sunday game. Still a decent break and I assume that should we make finals, we'll again score the Sunday spot, so a long enough turnaround after a relatively short trip.

People are saying that 'North' got stiffed or that we got stiffed, but SOMEONE has to play on sunday... and there are only a handful of teams completely OUT of contention and obviously they wont be playing each other

We only have ourselves to blame. If we were certainties for the finals we would be playing on the Saturday.

Disappointed at the timing though. Airlines all had cheap flights for sale on Friday. Saturday is a better day for flights than Sunday.

O well - hope that Tiger comes back soon and offers very cheap flights to make up for lost time...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
