So no Darwin game next year?

It's not clear. Neeld said that they expect to spend more time in Darwin:

It was about this time last year that the 2012 game was announced:

So, the deal was for two games in 2010-12, though we ended up playing three. I suppose it is up to MFC to determine if it should continue.

On a selfish note, I'm really hoping for a game in Darwin in 2013, as my brother has moved there.

A home game against Port is out. Would they give up one of their home games? Or would we play Freo or Brisbane? Does the other team have to agree to be the 'away' team?

    I think we got the extra game because Richmond canned theirs.

    lol...if we lose an opening match against Port at the G...oh boy. Wowee!

    I wonder what BT would say ... oh ...

    I'm looking forward to a fresh start to another year!

    Lets look on the bright side. At least we can't lose any (home and away) games between now and then!!

    They better get the Demonland server nice and strong for this game.

    If we lose, this place will implode.

    If we win, this place will... well... implode with deluded unrealistic declarations of success.

    Tragically I'm looking forward to this game and for the "new" team and game style to hit the road.

    There is not way it could be worse than this year (i.e. Jimmys funeral and a belting) and though it may not be kosher to say this, I think we have a far better list than our results in 2012 indicated, and in 2013 we shall be playing without the handbreak on.

    The one positive this year apart from Mitch Clark was that 2012 was our bottoming out on the pitch.If were competitive in 2013 and win more games than we lose then it will be a pretty decent year.

    You don't remember 2007,8,9 and 11 ID?

    They were very good bottoming years too

    We won 5 games in 07,3 in 08,4 in 09 and if you take out the wins against the Gold Coast Suns we won 6 games in 2011 although that was the year of the 186.Apart from the suns and GWS we only beat one established club this year in Essendon.So as bad as the 07 09 and 2011 seasons were i think this year was well and truly our bottoming out season.

    must agree with that I.D.

    2012 was abhorrent.

    I might try to get down to Melbourne for it as well... one of the great things about going to this game is that if we do lose, we won't have to put up with too many smug opposition supporters ;-)

    Herald Sun reports no friday night game for Melb and WB.

    AFL punishing both clubs for their poor 2012 seasons.

    only one way to fix that.

    I suppose we can look forward to a few twilight games versus interstate teams, probably at Etihad. Ace.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
