Sunday at 3.20 sucks but could have been worse could have been sat in Cairns or at at the kitty cats ground. 

Can u imagine the build up with the bald one returning for his first game.  God help us.

    Two oldest clubs in the comp. My only gripe is that it's not the opening game of the season every year, as i've always said we should play them first up in our heritage guernsey's. Fingers crossed we don't play again at Simonds.

    An ideal early line-up of games (the Geelong & Richmond home games are locked in) ...

    Round 1 March 25 ... vs Geelong (60k+ crowd)

    Round 2 March/April ... ???

    Round 3 April... vs Blues or Hawks?

    Round 4 April ... ???

    Round 5 April 24 ... vs Richmond (85k last season)

    Round 6 April 29 ... (A) Essendon?

    Playing the Bombers on the Sunday following the ANZAC midweek fixtures is a logical outcome given the limited rest. The Pies & Tigers would possibly play each other on the same Sunday as well (for the same reason)

    However,  because the Tigers/Pies game would need the big arena,  we'd probably end up playing Essendon at Docklands on the Sunday as the away team (again)

    The other alternative would see all 4 aforementioned teams play on the prior Saturday (or Friday) and if that happened,  we'd have the weekend off after the ANZAC eve clash. 

    If the 4 teams played on the weekend prior,  Richmond could play the Pies on the Friday night and we could finally get that home game against the Bombers on the Saturday afternoon. 

    Whichever way it goes,  a 4 or 5 day break between games is likely but if our opponents are in the same boat,  it's fair for both sides.

    Saying we are playing lions at gabba in round 2, so you would assume we get a home game round 1 

    If that's the case I really hope the game is late in the day or night match. No doubt the AFL will schedule a 2:10 start in 30+ degrees humid Brisbane sunshine. Bet on a six day break to follow.

    They cannot use Metricon for the start of the season due to Commonwealth games

    So it's a Sunday afternoon but shaping as a Marquee clash - we are hosting Geelong at home, 3.20pm on Sunday March 25th, in an unveiling (all going to plan) of the two boom recruits of the trade period, Lever & Ablett. 

    http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-10-26/eagles-swans-to-ignite-perth-stadium-in-r1-2018

    An interesting choice, given Collingwoods reported lobbying for a home clash vs us as their first up.

    Happy to have the cats first up but really hope no return trip later in the season to their dungheap.

    Don't mind it. At least it's a home game which pj wanted.hopefully everyone is up and fit and we can field our best 22.

    So we get ablett r1. Imagine the cats ferals when he gets his first touch.

    So does lever go to Hawkins?  He can match him and Hawkins does always perform against us.

    Some NT news:

    Crows to face the Demons in an afternoon clash at TIO Traeger Park in round 10.  

    The Dockers will travel north to take on the Demons at Darwin's TIO Stadium in round 16 in a night clash.

    Our Round 1 game in 2018 is a home game against Geelong at the MCG on Sunday March 25 @ 3:20pm.

    AFL Round 1, 2018

    Tough way to start the year but hey it’s not in Geelong. 

    A word of advice for the AFL...those fixturing times are a mess. If you want to grow the game you need to be attractive to those who are not yet locked in. Start by getting some regularity into timeslots to make it easier for people to know when games will be on. Three different starting times between 7.00 pm and 8.00 pm in just one round of football?  And the four day games all with different starting times. Seriously?

    Will be interesting to see how we play Lever.  At Adelaide he had Talia taking to "big" forwards, which allowed Lever to do his intercept so well.  Could see Frost lining up on Dork-ins with Lever just picking him off all day.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
