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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
