They got a big fat zero for Friday night games.

I'm ecstatic about it.

Was just having a look thanks.

A big sucked in to anyone associated with the Richmond football club in any capacity. They've been on the end of favourable draws for years.

MUCH better draw than LY, both on the field and financially off it.

Carlton home game tick

No Geelong in Geelong tick

No Etihad home games tick

North and St Kilda at the G tick

A bye after one of our NT game tick

 

Really happy. If we are serious about finals, we should get to 12 wins.

So excited for next year

Go Dees!!!

I am predicting we have the following:

Definite wins: 12

Definite losses: 6

50/50: 4

Outcome: 13-14 wins and our first finals series since 06.

Out of interest what are your losses and 50/50,s ?

 

cheers

I don't think there are any 'definite losses' for us next season.

If Melbourne and Collingwood are both in contention (or by that stage confirmed) finalists, the Round 23 clash could be a corker.

too bad they wont be ;)

Not a bad start and finish!

Agreed, a good draw.  I don't like attending night games but if we are thinking finals, I am concerned about our lack of night games.

Doggies away off after a 6 day break followed by West Coast  away after a six day break, followed by Sydney @ home Friday night after a six day break will be the toughest run of the year

Losses:

Round 1 v Saints 

Round 3 v Geelong,

Round 8 v Adelaide,

Round 13 v Bulldogs,

Round 14 v West Coast, 

Round 20 v GWS

50/50: 

Round 6 v Essendon

Round 15 v Sydney

Round 17 v Adelaide

Round 23 v Collingwood

While I'm sure we will win probably one or two of the losses I find it works well when you assume you will lose certain games and win others as it generally evens out. Also, I'd be bitterly disappointed if we lose to Essendon & Collingwood but I just feel they are 50/50 games at the moment.

It looks a good football fixture overall - the tough part is 3 x 6-day breaks in a row after QBW:

  • R13 v Dogs (off 9 days) at Etihad
  • R14 v WCE (off 8 days) at Domain
  • R15 v Sydney (off 7 days) our Friday night at the MCG

That's a very tough run, especially with the trip to Perth in the middle and our marquee Friday night exposure at the end which is a pity - we'll need to manage our rotations through that period and play a squad.

Appreciated, always interesting to get another persons thoughts.

I think we're better than what we showed rd 23 against the cats. For some reason I just can't bring myself to rate them.

Deserved, they entertain.

How did Richmond fare?

I agree they entertained and deserve the lion's share. But other than Adelaide's 5 Friday nights, these two are a looooong way ahead of everybody else.

As long as this trend continues, that's the main thing.

Was worried about our short break from Round 5 to Round 6, then realised that Essendon have a 115hr break themselves. Might need some state-of-the-art recovery juice?

Highlights:

- Play the annual Queen’s Birthday home match against Collingwood
- Play an ANZAC Day Eve match at the MCG for the third consecutive season (note: it will be Richmond’s turn to host next year’s game)
- Play a home Friday night match against the Sydney Swans in round 15
- Play a home game against a big Victorian club (Carlton) early in the season in round two
- Play new opponents in the Northern Territory (Gold Coast Suns at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs and the Adelaide Crows at TIO Stadium, Darwin)
- Play no home matches at Etihad Stadium

I think the most important thing is that I'll be able to attend my wedding as our fixture doesn't clash with it. ;)

I agree. I just use that as an exercise to try and predict how many games we win & lose and it usually ends up pretty accurate.

I thought all guys knew that weddings should only take place in February.  Pretty much the only month that doesn't have a major sporting event or have a long weekend in it, and the weather is generally pretty reliable.

Bold AF, you organised a wedding before seeing the fixture. Not me.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
