Can't believe some of you were expecting to not have to travel to Kardinia 

why not..we drew 90+k last time we played them and we are being asked to go to a ground where there is a virtual lock out.

If it's good enough for Essendon etc why are we the perpetual bunny

    Essendon's fixture:

    They will feature in nine Thursday and Friday night games, as well as playing Good Friday, Anzac Day, the Dreamtime at the ‘G clash and the Country game against Geelong.

    This is so [censored] for a team that couldn't make the 8 and haven't won a final in 5,000 days.

    Geelong have to play a certain amount of games at KP.  Would we rather they play those games against the weak interstate sides basically gifting them a finals spot?

    F-them I say, let's go down there in Round 2, get the job done, and that's one less free ticket to September for them.

    Rotate the opposition... it's simple

    Why should we forever be stuck with the left overs.

    It's a fight for exposure.. and we're losing

    Clearly that's the simple solution league-wide.  But the AFL won't do that, so best some get over it.

    We'll i don't think that is true this year. We will get FTA exposure for this game and it is one that is likely to rate well, particularly given the thriller last year down there (how many times will we see 2EES goal in the pre game coverage?

    And by the sounds of the orchestrate leak we will get plenty of plumb FTA night games this year.

    Lets see on that front but given where we have come from in terms of coverage i would suggest we are winning the battle for exposure.

    Exactly.

    Geelong are no longer a powerhouse and we're no longer a basket case that will be flogged.

    It's a shame there's a lack of seats there that affects our support base but as far as winning or losing goes, we go in as favourites.

    Suggest we wait for the full fixture to come out before complaining about individual games. Context can be everything.

    But yeah, will not be happy at all if Essendon are gifted an awesome draw based on potential and hype rather than performance.

    Geelong in Geelong again. Losing QB as a home game. Get stuffed. 

    I hope Pert does better than this going forward.

    Yeah, because Pert was responsible for us alternating the hosting rights of the QBD game, and for us having to play in Geelong. ?‍♂️

    McGuire raised the alternating of the QBD game earlier this year, I'm amazed some are surprised by the decision.  That said, I would've preferred it to start next year given the Anzac Eve game is our away game in 2019.

    It is not the decision to rotate the games but we will playing 2 away games on anzac eve and QB. that is where the problem lies but as soon as Eddie starts barking up a tree the AFL bend over to him.

    To be fair we were gifted the home game for a long time. Eddie did us a favour. It's only fair to share it. My only gripe is that it should have alternated with our ANZAC home game. Eddie obviously did it on purpose. [censored]er

    If we are playing Saturday night in round 2, how do we play a Thursday in round 4? Are they going to give us two six day breaks in a row!

    I expect that the fixture would have been provided to official media outlets under embargo ahead of the original Wednesday noon release so they could prepare their content to coincide with its release.  Now it has been delayed for a day because "some clubs were unhappy" any changes should be known to the media.  It will be interesting to hear what they are.

    "I, Eddie McGuire, the Collingwood Football Club (the two things being the one indivisible entity), actual controller of all things AFL,  hereby grant the hapless MFC the gift of CFC playing one more game at the G, of the CFC not having to travel, and of the CFC reaping the $$$ from its social club in the Ponsford stand. You may now rise."

    I'm okay with sharing it. But it's not Eddie's to give or take away.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
