ah, but that's an away game

i thought you were saying that there was a leak of a home friday night game

carry on...

Any Friday night game is gold for the club.

The friday night game is not just important for FTA exposure during the game it also means all the radio pre game build up across all stations and then on the Saturday all the footy radio stations do a reviw of the game. Great for the club, sponsors and most of all fans. 

We are a popular side, that will push for the flag, plays an exciting brand and until we win a flag will enjoy the support of other club's fans and neutrals. As result I reckon we will get 3-4 Friday night games which would be a great result

    Seems like we're getting at least 1 (like 2018) if the leak is legit. We should be rewarded with at least 3. I would love 4. Will probably be 2. I'll be ropeable if we only get one.

    Particularly if our only Friday night game is interstate. Would be absolutely no improvement on 2018's fixture.

    Surely we'll get at least one MCG Friday night block buster at the G??

    Do we know when they will announce the fixture?

    i have to say i love getting that first look at the fixture. Its a great chance to look into the future and see what days what life will revolve around!

    Our last two Friday night games were at 90k+ each, so the AFL should be open to giving us more...

    I think a lot of clubs are going to be caught out in Brisbane in 2019.

    Regarding the number of Fri night games, I think MFC will get more than the two of 2018. Given there are 11 home games, I think that to get 3 Fri night home games (and maybe 1 or 2 away ones as well) and mainly Sat afternoon and night games would be a big win.

    Not sure if this is guesswork but here is a view of the Easter - Anzac weeks.

    • Thursday 18 April: Easter Thursday (Brisbane v Collingwood?)
    • Friday 19 April: Good Friday game (North Melbourne v Essendon?)
    • Saturday 20 April: Four games
    • Sunday 21 April: Easter Sunday, two games
    • Monday 22 April: Easter Monday (Geelong v Hawthorn)
    • Tuesday 23 April: No footy
    • Wednesday 24 April: Anzac Eve (Richmond v Melbourne)
    • Thursday 25 April: Anzac Day (Collingwood v Essendon)
    • Friday 26 April: Friday Night Footy
    • Saturday 27 April: Four games
    • Sunday 28 April: Two games

    Easter and Anzac Logjam

    Presumably the AFL will keep the Rich vs Coll and Demons vs Ess as the games post ANZAC day.  Hopefully, Melb and Richmond play their Pre Anzac games on the same day, ideally Sat April 20, altho the article suggests Rich could play North on Good Friday.

    I just hope we are not disadvantaged by having the shortest breaks during that 3 week period relative to our opps.

    Will put my hand up as being wrong about an Ess vs Carlton Good Friday Eve match.  It was requested by Ess and endorsed by Carlton but fortunately the AFL had different ideas.

    I have already posted "not available" on my work roster for this game. First time i will have seen my team play where i live.

    I will take both of my Canon DSLR's and possibly a video camera as well to get as many shots as possible, particularly of any newbies who play.

    Best news so far this off-season.

    Travis Auld — AFL head of clubs and broadcasting — has hinted that the likes of Melbourne and Essendon could be in for more showpiece games next season.

    “Obviously West Coast and Collingwood are the two obvious ones (having reached the Grand Final), but you’ve got the Melbournes and the Essendons that look quite exciting after trade period.

    “So we’ll feature them in the right spots as often as we can.”

    Don't think they have to have the post Anzac games this year as there will be a minimum 8/9 day break for us and the Tigers, although they may look to a Friday night Pies v Tiger or Dees vs Bombers the post Anzac round.

    With us and Tigers playing on Anzac eve it would make more sense(which the AFL fixturing never uses) to have one of us and the Tigers playing Good Friday eve and one on Good Friday.

    Rapt to play Sydney on Friday night I might even go to the game half the family barrack for Sydney so it will be interesting.

    When does the fixture come out by the way?

    Thank you. I didn't read the last few pages I went straight to the last page.

    Sorry I missed Demonland saying it.

    The drip feed of the fixture including the hints as to who will play when (I see North are now confirmed for Good Friday against either Essendon or Richmond) is so amusing.

    This desire of the AFL to occupy the entire media space and more interestingly the willingness of the media to lap it up is a marketer's dream.

    Anyone else feel that it is just getting too over the top?

    It has been like his since Demetriou was in charge. The fact there is 2 accredited journalists covering AFL for every player says everything.

    The worst part is journos writing stories based on what other journos have said and claiming it as news. FoxFooty would have nothing to talk about without this second hand news.

    No.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
