Oh well yes there is THAT! But the novelty could wear thin if Blacktown is 24 goals down at /4 time!!

But that is the point exactly! I will be watching this and loving it, because I get the feeling that we could see a new "world record" winning margin.

    286 has a nice ring to it.

    Might have to wait for whan they play the Cats for that though and I'm sure it won't be fixtured at Kardinia Park.

    Playing GWS will be like having another bye

    I'd expect clubs will rest key players and give their youngsters a run

    Brisbane First Up at the 'G'

    "The AFL said the clash has not been deliberately contrived, having already been set in the fixture before the Clark trade."

    Err.. Yeah, right.

    CamSchwab Putting the final touches on the next stage of our ongoing commitment to Darwin. Makes sense for @melbournefc at so many levels

    CamSchwab Original commitment was for 2 games over 3 yrs, which we played in 2010 & 2011, the first 2 of agreement. Would like to maintain momentum

    CamSchwab Those who haven't been to Darwin, try and get there. Great experience. Book it when the fixture comes. Always fantastic feedback.

    I tend to agree, can only be played the week before the bye....Otherwise the players are knackered, which i fully understand having spent time in the kimberleys...

    Brisbane round 1 at the G would be a perfect start to the season.

    But I won't believe it till I see it.

    Remember it was reported a week before last years draw came out that we were playing Sydney at the SCG in round 1. Then when the draw came out, it turned out we were to play them at the MCG.

    8-12 overall record.

    Clearly, good teams get up and do the business as needed, and generally poor teams have played there anyway. 8-8 overall untill this year, but even this is an anomaly given that the three teams that played there finished 12th, 13th and 16th.

    Good teams will do the job.

    Thin excuses, in my view.

    Brisbane won three flags playing in Qlds legendary humidity every second week...

    Yes i read the stats 45...But have you been up there for any length of time??

    Oppressive heat is just that...The team(s) we play after a Darwin trip will be licking there lips...Don't notice the Financially well off clubs playing up there much....

    Well this was posted on Facebook by the AFL with a link to the article on their site... so hopefully they have got it right.

    I am not ignoring it at all...But it gives our next opponent a distinct advantage...That is my main concern.

    If the club wants to do some work in Darwin, do some of it now while they are playing footy up there.

    WYL - they don't play there because they can get 30k to a game against PA. And the Hawks play those games in Tassie, the Tigers in (oh noes) Darwin and Cairns. We are not in the position to spurn Darwin's money.

    I think that 45 is saying that it doesn't give our next opponent a distinct advantage because the history hasn't shown that.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
