4 day break, including travelling from Adelaide to Tassie, sucks. But gotta do what we gotta do, and I'd be disappointed if we didn't win both games

    It’s a sick joke that we’ve just moved from Sydney to Queensland then we need to go to Adelaide and Tassie on the short break. Really this draw has been awful for us. 

    I want to see how many other teams are traveling over their very short breaks.

    So we play the 3 best teams in the competition as well as North in [censored] Tassie again off a 4 day break. Adelaide we should win. Still that’s frightening.

    If we can win 1 of Brisbane or Port, we will be in great shape to make a run in the second half of the season.

    This is where having a full list to chose from will  play a massive part, teams with long injury lists will struggle and hit the wall pretty quickly

    Going to make it all the more sweeter when we win all four on our march to a flag...

    No use whinging about the travel, everyone's fixture is a mess.

    I've checked Collingwood, who are the supposed big club darlings of the AFL.

    - Sunday vs Fremantle in Perth

    - Thursday vs Sydney in Brisbane

    - Tuesday vs Adelaide in Adelaide

    - Saturday vs Melbourne in Brisbane

    That's 4 games in the space of 13 days w/ lots of travel.

    From a super quick look it seems most teams are traveling A LOT.

    It’s ridiculous that both North and the Dees are staying at the same complex at Maroochydore and are playing against each other in Tassie FFS?

    I think we have done ok here.  Nth play the Wednesday also before we play them and I’d much rather play Adelaide in Adelaide as opposed to Port in Adelaide.   Port and Pies on the smaller Gabba ground will hopefully suit us. 

    I think the run home will then be Saints, Dogs, Freo and Giants all in Qld

    ..... and I forgot the dirty Bombers!

    We have been shafted again, time for the Dees to stick it up em and go 5 from 5.

    Geez. That's a 'mare of a schedule. Adelaide and North designated our home games but at their home grounds ?? What a stitch up. I thought the Queensland sides were told that they would be playing in Tasmania as it's probably the only time they'd have to leave their own state for the rest of the season ?

    Does seem an odd one but at least it’s both travelling on the same amount of days break.

    Tom Morris reporting clubs will have max three 4 day breaks.

    Hopefully this is 2 of ours out of the way.

    They are North and Adelaide’s home games

    Coming up against Norf off a 4 day break (they will be coming off their ‘bye’) + 3 states in about 7 days. Not ideal. We need that 4 points - a lot of annoying headwinds make it less bankable now. Ah well.

     

    edit. Got this wrong. Thought Norf has the bye when we play Adelaide but they don’t.

    North play 4 days before as well. Geelong at the Gabba.

    Yep just noticed that then. Thought they were absent from the previous round on first glance

    Carlton not travelling at all. Head to Perth after this weekend then sit over there whole time, with a bye to boot.

    Downside for them I suppose is playing WC/Freo over there in front of a crowd

    We can't really say the fixture has been particularly kind to us this year, I feel like we've been a bit more mucked around than most (with the Essendon debacle). But it actually does appear that most clubs fixtures are a mess. I knew we were going to be sent to Tassie against North, just a feeling in my gut. Of course they would never send Richmond, Geelong, Collingwood, or Essendon.

    On a positive side it actually appears that the GABBA has almost become our defacto "home" which is good for a couple of reasons. Firstly it's close to our base in Maroochydore so we aren't going to be traveling a couple of hours to GC on a bus. Secondly if (as it appears) the finals could be based up in QLD then this is giving us experience on the home ground of potentially one of the main finals contenders.

    Round 10 and 11 are simply must wins. Work your magic Darren!

    Ah, you're right D11. I just saw that we were named first in the schedule on one of the posts above and automatically thought we were the home side.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
