Any scrap of demon related footy information at this time of the year is welcome.

Understood but then again I have always enjoyed the more esoteric discussion of football politics that the lazy summer months encourage.

Go Dees

    Looking forward to the fixture as I am going to try and make the bucket list road trip to Alice and the Rock while taking in the big clash.. (remind me what they called it ?)

    Now... "The Road to Alice" or similar could make a great summer time thread.

    Pro Hart in Broken Hill, bacon and egg sandwiches at renowned road stops... the possibilities are limitless ;)

    So Collingwood and Melbourne wanted to play in the first game of the season, the AFL release the first round fixture and THEN look at the wish list.

    I wonder if this changed post season with Collingwood's finish?

    “We want to bolster Friday nights, we want to make sure that Thursday and Fridays are really strong that those feature events are there.”

    "We want to reward teams that have been playing really good football...West Coast and Collingwood are the two obvious ones but Melbourne and Essendon look quite exciting after trade period...So we want to feature them in the right spots as often as we can.”

    Melbourne and Essendon set to take centre stage

    Thursday and Friday nights here we come!!  Hopefully a few are home games at the G as better for our sponsors and members!

    Suspect Essendon will get the Thursday night slot and we'll be looking at 3-4 friday night games, including one against Sydney in Sydney in round 2.

    Planning on doing my first Alice trip this year too, Jim.

    Melbourne AFL app reporting we have a game in Darwin Sat night v Adelaide Jul 1 (the week before QB) and a game in Alice v WC Eagles R18 (Jul21). Hopefully this means we’re not playing them in Perth as well (sorry Ethan and Steve, selfish I know).

    F... me 

    Which clubs are big enough to cause a stink and get the fixture changed... surely not??? 

    Whilst I have no doubt that it is true, it just demonstrates how far the AFL has moved from a sport to a business venture

    Was assuming the Alice game would be in May like this year... By late July I am usually seeking warmer climes in Asia.

    Darn ... looks like no road trip or perhaps a re-org of my year ?

    What does the article say?

    Main points:

    It’s understood the number of interstate trips, short breaks, who they play twice and how many Thursday and Friday night games they get are highlighted in the document.

    But the Herald Sun has been told some clubs were unhappy their requests were not met, prompting them to seek late adjustments to the 23-round season.

    While there is always some last-minute haggling between clubs and the league over specifics of the fixture, the league has this year been forced to ask for more time.

    Unless M/WC playing twice this was likely to be a MFC home game. WC want to play games at the G so won't be excited by this idea.

    Just hurry up and release the whole bloody draw, I want to start making some travel plans for 2019.

    Does anyone know when the AFL are releasing it?

    From the experience of past years, the AFL fixture for any year cannot be released until in private conversations, Eddy Maguire has approved that draw. His exacting criteria, not comprehensively included, seems to be:

    • first game of the season for the Filth at the MCG
    • at least 14 home games in a season
    • no more than two interstate games in a season
    • we only play the Dees when they are devastated with injuries
    • gate receipts maximisation is configured based on which team we play at home and what crowd that team may draw
    • we are advised - before spending our entertainment funds - on which umpires will be allocated to each match in the pursuit of cordial relations with those umpires prior to the upcoming game over a 'slap dang' lunch as our guests.

    GIving up these games in the NT is still [censored] me off. It’s always against an SA and WA side who gain more from playing there than we do, other than financially. The support for both sides is always far greater. It also makes it a 50:50 scenario, which would otherwise favour us at The G. When will we drop this ?

    Just trying to upgrade and renew my membership.

    Trying to reset password.  The reset link / email takes 40 min to reach me by which time it has expired.

    Tried ringing the club last two days. Over an hour wait time both times.

    Ticket master is pure pus

    Despite what they are saying I believe the AFL are just holding off to create a few more headlines.

    I can't see them making any changes to the schedule apart from maybe a few cosmetics.

    It gives them another major headline and some great talking points before the release now on Thursday.

    Adding some tension to the mix was probably always in the plan.

    Would be a good result if we can an extended break after the Darwin game!

    It will be 8 days when we play QB on Monday 10th June.

Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
