I suspect that the AFL might not fixture a home game for Melbourne against GWS for fear of a venomous reception from the fans to a certain player.

The only certainties I know with the fixture is that Collingwood will get away with a substantial number of games in Melbourne (mainly at the G) and we'll play Geelong at Simmonds Stadium.

I agree. Very slim chance that we will play GWS in Melbourne in 2012.

Pretty sure the fixture comes out the end of this month.

My tip is that we will play someone like North where members from both clubs will get entry - North in lieu of their Tassie game/s and us in lieu of our Darwin (?) game. I reckon North are due for a home game in round one, and I reckon we'll play them twice. I doubt we'll play Hawks twice.

I'd call it a 100% chance of Melbourne playing GWS at the MCG. AFL loves that stuff for promotional purposes. See GC vs Geelong.

I reckon we'll get them twice.

Really hope we don't get Geelong down there. Sick of getting our pants pulled down there.

I would love our first month to look like:

Gold Coast MCG sat arvo

Gws up there

Richmond away at the G on sat arvo

Essendon at home at the G on a Friday night

And Gws to finish off at the G!

Sorry, wedding plans et. al. on the brain. For some reason I figured that because they play the week before, they could still play us in round 1. Carry on.

Dees vs North - Sunday twilight. Just over 8,000 people attend, Dees by 32 points, Maric kicks 2 for the Roos.

8,000 seagulls maybe...First Round 2012...40,000 melbourne fans will show up..

We have been very proactive in the last 6 weeks...it will count.

North play home games at Etihad. No Darwin game this year. No predictions from me.

I believe the the fixture is due to be released Fri 28th Oct - day after I sail out of the country for 7 days.

My thoughts exactly. There were a few media types complaining that Geelong had GC twice for the promotional value of Ablett vs his old team rather than having them play a contender. We should get the same advantage this year and have two shots at GWS so they can run out TS and have him show his stuff against his old team.

Hawthorn in the sunday twilight game.

Hawthorn by 60 points.

Another MFC season kicks off with a wimper.

Greg Denham tears stomach muscles from uncontrolable laughter.

Only joking folks.

Richmond saturday afternoon dees up by 3 points after winning goal kicked by Martin after the siren.

Confirmed Rd1 games for 2012 through the media releases:

GWS vs Sydney - ANZ Stadium

Fremantle vs St Kilda - Venue TBC

Carlton vs Richmond - MCG

Others:

25 April - Essendon vs Collingwood - MCG

11 June - Melbourne vs Collingwood - MCG

So there's 11 other teams we could play. Personally, I hope we stay in Melbourne for Rd1.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
