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.

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!

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.

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...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.
