does anyone know when the times for round 24 are going to be released?

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.

    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...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
