I had visions of us copping the 4.40pm Sunday timeslot. 1.10pm is a much better outcome, even if that is Father's Day.

Even with the early start, playing the Giants at Etihad in round 23 on Fathers Day could still set a record low attendance. At least the weather won't be an excuse.

Friday, September 4
Richmond v North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium, 7.50pm AEST (Channel 7)

Saturday, September 5
Geelong v Adelaide at Simonds Stadium, 1.05pm AEST (Fox Sports)
Brisbane Lions v Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, 1.45pm AEST (Channel 7)
Port Adelaide v Fremantle at Adelaide Oval, 3.20pm ACST (Fox Sports)
Hawthorn v Carlton at the MCG, 4.40pm AEST (Fox Sports)
West Coast v St Kilda at Domain Stadium, 5.40pm AWST (Channel 7)
Sydney Swans v Gold Coast at the SCG, 7.20pm AEST (Fox Sports)

Sunday, September 6
Melbourne v GWS at Etihad Stadium, 1.10pm AEST (Fox Sports)
Collingwood v Essendon at the MCG, 3.20pm AEST (Channel 7)

I'll be there assuming my 2nd child isn't born by then.

Try and finish the year with a win for the first time since the Kreuzer Cup I believe?

And another win at Doglands- on top of our round 20 win there over the Bulldogs of which I am extremely confident. !!

Definitely a no go for me.

My daughters want to take me to the pies v Dons for Father's Day.

They must really want me to suffer.

What have I done to deserve this?

I said to my dad we will take you to etihad for fathers day. The crowd will be interesting. 1:10 on fathers day at etihad. Im not expecting a lot. But then I remembered for the first time I can scan my membership so I get in for free. It may be the last time well it will be see some players run around in the red and blue.

Which day is it again? Daughters' day? Can't you meet them at the G after the game at Ethiad?

Something tells me you have failed as a father.

May well be the last match I get to watch live until August next year, so I'll definitely be there

I doubt my dad would like to do anything more on Father's Day than go to Shitehad stadium, sit on the roof when the ground level is empty, and watch us lose to GWS.

What a golden child I am!

last time i went to etihad for an away game, bought ga at gate. they offered me a reserve seat on level 1 in the "melb area" which was near the cheer squad

i even got to pick my seat (roughly) - all for no extra charge

i was surprised

so i expect being a home game you could probably do the same.....but check with club first

Anyone else want to storm the medallion club seats and see just how many security guards it takes to stop us? Worse thing that can happen is probably getting kicked out and being saved the pain of watching us lose to GWS.

By the way if GWS sneak an upset win either of Port or Sydney as well as getting the job done against Carl and Essendon then they'll likely be playing to make the 8.

If we do them a massive favour and beat North this week then they could be as high as 7th by the end of this round as well.

How nice that they schedule the filth and the drug cheats at the "G" on the same day and the Hawks and the Blues at the "G" the day before. Lovely the way the AFL schedules us with a "home game" against GWS at Etihad, I don't think!

The only redeeming feature is that GWS may not like playing there any more than us and it may be a chance for us to break the hoodoo.

Still, at least we have won two significant "away games" this year in our win against the Cats at the Cattery followed up by our decisive away victory against the Pies last weekend!

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
