Gee the AFL are trying to make the most of the Melbourne v Brisbane rivalry... after both clubs amicably agreed to terms on a trade for Clark. Numpties.

The Melbourne v Collingwood perhaps has a little more bite. It will also be a good test to see where we're at.

A few interesting things to note from the fixture:

Skilled Stadium is now officially Simonds Stadium for those who haven't heard.

GWS and Gold Coast meet at Lavington (Albury) in Round 3

Port Adelaide v Fremantle possibly to scrap over the fat rats clacker's cup at Victor Harbour in Round 3

Essendon v St.Kilda at Wangaratta in Round 2

Sydney v North Melbourne at Bruce Purser ? in Round 2

Adelaide v Brisbane at Alice Springs in Round 2

North Melbourne v Western Bulldogs at Nth Ballarat in Round 3

West Coast v Port Adelaide at Mandurah in Round 2

edit: Bruce Purser is at Castle Hill.

Have you been to Metricon since the upgrade Vagg? Would like to know your thoughts. I've been there once, sat behind the goals/scoreboard end, thought it was great. A lot more atmosphere than the Gabba!

Yes, Billy. Went to the Suns vs. St Kilda match with my daughter and a bunch of her friends. Yep, very impressive set-up. The playing surface has always been great. But, now with the new stands, it's a first class facility. Would just be good to get the stands put up all around the ground. Think that's supposed to happen if we get the 2018 Commonwealth games.

I had also been keen to see Skilled Stadium (the stadium at Robina built for the Thugby). But, absolutely no desire to go to a thugby match. So, when a mate invited me to join him for a soccer match recently, I jumped at it. Again, a top facility (albeit with a toy, rectangular playing field! LOL)

The Gold Coast is therefore now blessed with two stadiums that are both first class. But, it's the one with the REAL footy field in the middle where I'll be showing up the most often...!

I have been to both quite a few times, obviously living here, and think the Gabba is a much better ground. I just think that the complete grandstand holds in a lot more noise whereas at Metricon the gap as well as space under sails maybe opens it up for less echo?! Anyway, off topic, and I suppose I havent been to a 'full' Metricon yet. But regarding the NAB fixture, wrapped I'll be able to trundle down to get an early taste!

Strange that no nab cup games will be on free to air.

That's a Fox Sports page - maybe the games not denoted "Fox Sports" are FTA on 7? Maybe different games into different markets where the times clash? Maybe on 7-two?

Anyway ours are all on Fox Sports

Or maybe you're right and those games are just not on TV

I thought I read somewhere that no games that have been fixtured would be on FTA. No word on the GF though.

Interesting,are there many that go to the games, non Gold Coast fans? Is this the hope that they'll get GC to be fan's second club?

Will be great to see some preseason footy for a change.

Havent been to Metricon yet so should be good. Hopefully we win which would make it even better.

With any luck there might be an open training session where we can meet the players.

Bring on season 2012.

I'm happy that we get a couple of games in Melbourne vs Pies and Hawks. Will be a good experience for the players and will hopefully be a good test of our new hard style under Neeled.

Interesting format, can't say it lends the same sudden death tension though. But probably confirms what everyone sees of the competition.

Yeah, Brisbane was my second team, but they've now dropped to third behind the Suns. Gotta encourage the local mob. I think there's a lot of Gold Coasters of the same mind-set. It's just great to have a team based locally, and put it up to the raving thugby-ites...

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
