2017 Fixture

At the break of Gawn
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Perhaps this is a little premature, but what are your early wishes for the 2017 fixture?

Mine would have to be:

1. St.Kilda at the MCG (so we can beat that hoodoo)

2. Geelong at the MCG (haven't played them there since 2014)

3. West Coast at the MCG (last time was round 2 2014)

4. Richmond twice

5. Essendon round 1 Friday night (saw that Essendon was proposing this. I think it'd be an awesome way to start 2017 with a win at the G on a Friday night)

    No Geelong at Geelong. We have been the bunnies for long enough.

    Round 1 Friday night would be awesome & definitely  not Stkilda at Etihad or a home game there for that matter !

    Wouldn't mind starting with Hawthorn at the G on a Friday night. The old guard V the new. Get them early in the season too.

    Anzac Eve Tigers plus return Friday night match

    QB V Pies with a 2pm Saturday return match

    Bye after Darwin match

    No Geelong at Geelong. Time for others to go there

    Home game V Bombers with us in our proper jumper

    Some fairness in home game schedule V big Vic clubs

    Last game of the year at the G

    13 G games

    No they can get stuffed.

    That will be a big celebration of their returning drug cheats

    Can we play them round 15

    Agree and a home game against them would be nice - I think we've had one home game v bummers in the last 8 years.

    I want to see every side get at least one home game on a Friday and a Saturday night.

    I want us to not play ANY home games at Etihad. 

    We have two marquee games in Queens Birthday and ANZAC eve, so we're ok there. 

    With our ladder position we should see two matches against Richmond, Collingwood, St Kilda, GCS, North or Port.  Something around that range. 

    If we saw something like this I'd be pretty happy.

    My biggest bugbear with the fixture is that everybody wants to play Friday night games and very few clubs want to play Sunday afternoon games.

    So wouldn't it make sense to schedule two games each Friday night and reduce the three game Sunday arvo commitments to just two games.

    That way you could even decide mid-season which Friday night game is on free-to-air and which is not and the chances of primetime massacres are reduced - remember Carlton in 2015.

    If that were the case then I'd like us to have five Friday nights, five Saturday arvos, five Saturday nights, five Sundays arvos, one Monday (QB v Coll) and one Anzac Eve (v Rich).

    I've got no problem with teams earning the right to play on Friday night as long as its consistent. Consistent being Richmond miss out next year and Collingwood are rained in.

    Probably thinking too much about this but what if you had finish say top 10 to get a Friday night game. Wouldn't be a popular idea but on the whole there was a lot of junk games this year.

    No home game at Etihad against a team who's home ground is Etihad. For the love of God!

    Exactly, against an interstate team, please! It's not that bloody difficult.

    This will 100% happen.  Along with the Cats who get the easiest draw every single season.

    I'd like to play Essendon at the MCG on Sunday 1 May. Why? Because Anzac Day falls on a Tuesday in 2017 meaning Collingwood and Essendon will only get a five day break if the AFL ensures all teams play the next round on the traditional Friday/Saturday/Sunday slots. I'd also be happy if it were to be Collingwood, but given we play them on QB, I assume playing them in May would be less likely.

    Don't want to play Essendon round 1 friday night. It will be like the march this year where they carried the momentum from fans and rolled us

    No "home" games at Doglands, and particularly no home games there vs clubs whose home is at that soulless hole

    A bye after Darwin - fair for both teams involved. 

    Home game v drug cheats but not round 1 when they will be "buoyed by the return of the victims of injustice". 

    More Friday night G games than those who finished below us in 2016 NB Collingwood, Richmond, Carltank and EssUndone

    No playing Geelong in Geelong

    Any home game at Etihad is to be a Friday Night game so as to make the most of having to play there.  Against Adelaide I guess?

    No Friday Night games for Essendon.

    Keep ANZAC Day Eve.

    Saints at the MCG

    Bye after Darwin.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
