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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
