They’ll probably give us 2 games at the other Boo Stadium west of here. 

It's like getting Galatasaray away in the Champions League then Millwall away in the cup.

Had to be due to play interstate in Round 1. No tougher assignment imo. Though finishing 17th gives you no right to ask for favours.  It’s us against the world in 2019.  

Not to mention it’s our first round one road trip since 1998...

Not fazed. It’s a free hit. If we stink it up over there beats doing it at the G against a weaker side

Exactly right DNIMD. Would we rather lose a game at the G we are hopeful of winning, or lose one interstate where no-one gives us a chance.

The way i see it, we have a free-hit with this one. No pressure, no expectations (though i'd hate to think what would happen should we get absolutely pumped).

Go over there and get a win, our season is starting to look a whole lot brighter.

Epic lols. 
I can’t wait to see the rest of the draw. We are going to be screwed big time this season. 
 

Guess I’ll need to get Fox Footy again. 

Kayo is the way to go

As you said a free hit. The upside is; if we pull it off it's great for us, but it would be really, really bad for WC.

We start winning games regularly, then we dictate or fixture. 
Right now we take what we are given, 2019 was a shambles

Sorry mate that is such BS I can't believe you wrote that.

 

The good news is we play them early (after them making top 4)

If we win our membership and season is on a roll

If we lose hopefully no-one notices.

 

Waiting for the backlash over the solitary game on Anzac day given it's a Saturday.

Probably means there will be a Thursday game and maybe two Friday night games including ours.

Not great for the MFC finances or sponsors

Yeah I'm sorry but that's a completely load of BS it's a standalone game. I would cop it being a standalone fixture (ie no competing games at the same time) but why deny there being a night ANZAC day game in say Adelaide, Perth or Sydney?

With ANZAC day falling on a Saturday does that mean there will be a public holiday on Monday? Could have a couple of games then.

One Thursday
One Friday
One Saturday
Four Sunday
Two Monday

Would that be in the ballpark? I'll be fuming if they have us competing on the eve given us and the Tigers have really made it something special.


I reckon we’ll just be a timeslot filler in the fixture this year and get what ever slot is left after the big prime time games have been allocated. The AFL ain’t gonna do us too many favours

So we shouldn't have to play them twice due to ladder positions last year. How come we always play them over there ? It's like always having to playing at Geelong every year.

....and EssUndone as an away game every year even if it is at OUR home ground!

The only time I remember playing them there in round 1 we only kicked 3 goals and got trashed but the next week we won by over 100 points I think. Against fitzroy ??. Not looking forward to it.

My only trip to the west was the round one game where we kicked 2 goals 8. If this is to be our only visit to the House of Boooooo next year then I'll take it. 

Was that the Allen Jakovich debut game - went into it very cocky and dropped the next week?

 

Still, our recent record over there (PF18 aside) has actually been pretty good.

Embrace the challenge.

Hi Monoccular. The game itself is a distant blur so I couldn't say for sure. I do however remember they sold jugs of beer in the outer throughout the day. 

I think it's great that we're playing the Eagles away first up.

If this year was an aberration, and the boys put in a massive offseason, and we truly mean business in 2020, then this is the perfect way to start the year. We can punish the team that embarrassed us in 2018 and get other teams asking questions.

A lot of IFs, I know - with the entirely possible outcome being that we get thumped (Kelly with 4 goals and a bajillion assists), but I actually think we'll come out on top and it'll kickstart our premiership season.

It's been a long day, dream with me. Look out yonder.

No day in lieu buddy. Extra 2 days of work next year for us with it also being a leap year.

I can't see how the AFL can handle Ess v Pies being standalone then unless I've misread it and they will have two night games afterwards.
One thursday
One Friday
Three Saturday (one twilight, two night)
Four Sunday

We’re well overdue for a round 1 interstate game this year. We haven’t travelled in the season opener since 1998.

I’m tipping GC, WC or Port interstate round 1.

I will laugh and cry at the same time if we’re the away side in Darwin later in the year.

Seems like a pretty good call ???

We have our own destiny in our hands. The 2018 MCG Finals showed me that.

apparently there's a make up Monday holiday in WA for Anzac day. Could it be a twilight derby?

On reflection...it wont be a derby but it will be a 5pm Perth game back into Melbourne against a Melbourne club

WC v Carlton perhaps

Oh please... save the poor us speech. What do you expect when you finish second last on the ladder? Do well and you'll be rewarded with a good fixture like we were this year. We only have ourselves to blame for this one.

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

4 of the last 5 in WA against the Eagles, take out the 18 Prelim and it was only bad kicking in 16 and this year which cost us 4 points in both games

    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

    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.

    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.
