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!

oh, so two from two then...normal service resumed.

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.

Richmond v Melbourne at Deakin Reserve, Shepparton, 4.40pm EDT

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?

Wednesday 12pm, as has been said multiple times across the last few pages.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
