Confirmation from whom?

Based on article in Age 30 minutes ago (or in fact a strategic leak from AFL to keep horse racing off the back page), by my reading there is still one game needed forr the G.  Being either bombers or MFC.

Otherwise, its west Coast at Perth, GC away or Port Adelaaide away.

In other fixture news:

■ Melbourne will head interstate for the first game of the season.

    ■ North Melbourne was slated to take on St Kilda their Round 1 game.

    ■ Geelong will be taking their handbags .....

    it is a weird stat that we haven’t played interstate since 1998. Hasn’t helped us and can’t begrudge an away game to start the year

    After process of elimination with respect to confirmed and unconfirmed leaks, I reckon we're playing GC at Metricon round 1.

    We have played well 2 of the last 3 games there. Pretty much a free swing. Bring it on.

    I like your approach. BUT 3.20 in Perth in late March.

    The Sunday 3.20 pm time slots start right up front.  Horribly hot at that time in Perth!!!

    No pre-season game in WA so every chance we play both WCE and Freo in Perth....

    The club likes to have the first few games in Melbourne to get memberships rolling.  Not a great start.  Worse if we lose.

    AFL: How can we burn any of the teams confidence going into 2020, cause as many cramps as possible and invoke dehydration and injuries?

    Gill: Give them Sunday afternoon in Perth against the premiership favorites

    AFL: done

    Always good to play last years top 4 in the early rounds. Takes them a few weeks to get going. 

    Bring it on!

    and the dogs v pies at dock lands constitutes a blockbuster now? According to the herald.

    Spot on. Also that loss in the prelim was followed by an awful season. Time to get revenge.

    Can see your point of view but it would of been nice to play them one next year and at the G.

    No better way to kick off the season than rolling the Eagles in Perth. 

    No doubt we embrace the challenge and see it as an opportunity to out 2019 quickly in the rear view mirror.

    True. 
    But also clubs like Carlton and Essendon, have dug their own grave in no less significant ways and still have never suffered poor draws like we have. 
    Yes I know, big clubs and so on and so forth. Hard to become a big club with this level of inequality though. 

    Yes, completely agree, but you have to view the AFL as the business that it is, and those clubs are big drawers than us. Simple as that. Commercially, we have a long way to go. A few flags would help convert a few. 2018 finals shows we can draw if we're playing successful finals footy.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
