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.

So the AFL have finally got their shite together, full fixture revealed today yeah? AFL must be the only sport in the world boring  their fans with teasers. 

I don't mind the odd leak or two before the fixture is released.

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.

Drawing a long bow to blame this on Pert. His custom made desk made from endangered baby seal bones hasn't even arrived yet.

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

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
