Since 2005 we have played 1 home game against Essendon. Why is this? it is absolutely appalling. Another example of the stupid nature of the "Fixture". absolute corruption of the AFL

    Why bother taking the warm up T-shirts off?

     I thought we only have one away jumper now the royal blue and red jumper. I hope that's it.

    Hopefully either the one on the left or the right.

    Not a fan of the royal blue.

    Yes, Melbourne are going to bring out a jumper from four years ago last minute.

    It's clearly the royal blue one.

    What a condescending post and a BS argument. No one else has to give up 'blockbuster' games, nor should we.

    In any case I'd be happy to give up playing Gold Coast at the G or Frem.

    In addition to Essendon, since 2005 we have only had:

    5 homes games against Carlton

    7 v Richmond

    5 v Geelong

    And for example, Carlton haven't played at Geelong since 1997, Ess since 1993 and Coll since 1999.

    No wonder teams have such different gate receipts from football. We are denied access to big games against large drawing Vic clubs and its wrong.

    And BTW we rotate the ANZAC day Eve game with Richmond.

     

    I clearly made that point by saying "when it's our turn".

    In terms of the other points, if Geelong play Carlton/Essendon/Collingwood at "home" at Etihad or the MCG, Geelong get the dollars.  Why is it an issue with you if they haven't played those games at Geelong?

    Also, we only play Gold Coast and Freo once this year.  The Freo one is our "home" game (in the NT).  I you give that game up, that becomes Freo's home game, meaning they have an extra home game than what they should.

    There are definitely elements of the fixture that I don't like, but what your complaining about isn't one of them.  It's also one we have probably made for ourselves given our inept performance for such a long time, both in terms of playing ability and crowd pulling ability.

    Seriously, pull ya head in, I'm not being negative nor am I mentally soft. Fact is whilst we play Anzac eve the AFL will fixture us against one of the teams that plays on Anzac Day. The Pies are out given QB, which leaves Essendon. Yes when it falls on a weekend it's a moot point, but when it's coming off a short break we'll play Essendon most likely at Docklands - which isn't a problem in my book.

    In 2016, the Anzac Eve game was played on a Sunday.  We played St Kilda the following week.

    Hardly "stuck with" playing Essendon because of it.  Which you kindly agreed with.  Thanks.

    Oh really. I was clinging on to the hope that they would.

    Bugger.

    Since last year they've made the arrangement that Melb/Ess and Rich/Coll will play each other the week after. In 2016 the Anzac Eve game was on a Sunday night I believe so there wasn't the short break to work around.

    Interestingly, someone posted on BF that next year ANZAC Day falls the Thurs after Easter. So we will have Thurs night footy, Good Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Easter Monday, break (Tues), ANZAC Eve, ANZAC Day, Friday night, etc This means that the only way around the shorter breaks (assuming they make Tuesday the day off between rounds) is for Melb/Ess & Rich/Coll to be on Saturday or for one of the games to be on Good Friday. Will be interesting to see how they schedule it.

    bet you the boys and gals at AFL house have their spreadsheets out for that one Dr G.

    I make that 7 prime time games all at night bar the Anzac day one .... you wouldn't want to be amongst the teams that miss out on the prime time shows.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
