Details around Melbourne’s final game of the season – a clash with Essendon – are yet to be confirmed.

Why TF do we play 2 games in cairns. 
 

FMD wouldn’t it be a better option if Brisbane and Gold Coast played up there and try to increase their market share. 
 

The AFL REALLY KNOW HOW TO F... us over.

The positive is we only meet one team that comes off a longer break than us - Freo has 5 days v our 4 into that match.

All other games we either have the same break (Syd 5 v 5) or a longer break (Bulldogs 7 v 6), (Saints 7 v 6) and (GWS 5 v 4)

Playing round 17 on Saturday you would think a 5 day break is a short as it will be for the round 18 match. 

If we stay fit cant see us losing one from here haha 

Perspective is a wonderful thing, only one of those warmer climate games is during the day. I do think the Ess game is going to be a tough one.

Meanwhile Brisbane have not left the state since round 1and the furthest they've travelled is an hour to Metricon. 

They'll be filthy they have to fly to Cairns for 1 match. 

The boys will be chuffed, think of all the frequent flyer points they are accumulating, they can use them to go to Bali on the end of season trip! Winners!

WINNERS

  • Port Adelaide: No short breaks and pretty easy opponents sets them up perfectly to finish on top of the ladder.
  • Richmond: They avoid playing in WA at all this year, and have longer breaks heading into showdowns with the Eagles and Cats than their opponents.
  • Hawthorn: The easiest remaining draw including four home games which could still be moved to Tasmania if they open their borders.

LOSERS

  • West Coast: Five games in 19 days, including two four-day breaks heading into their toughest games against Richmond and St Kilda.
  • Essendon: They face three flag contenders in 11 days, plus their rescheduled game with Melbourne in Round 18, who’ll likely be playing for a spot in the eight.
  • Sydney: They have games left against the teams currently 1st, 2nd and 3rd on the ladder.

About time Ess had a tough run.  They have been blessed with little travel.  Ditto Saints and Richmond.

Here are some preliminary thoughts I have:

  1. Collingwood doesn't leave the Gabba until the final game, in which they are the home team, so feasibly won't leave the Gabba for the rest of the season;
  2. St Kilda play every game except one at the Gabba/Metricon from Rounds 9-17 (and as they are the home side in Round 18, are likely to stay in Queensland for that game). Over the same period we play games at Alice Springs, Cairns and Adelaide, in addition to Gabba/Metricon.

Clearly PIES AND SAINTS are also given preferred treatment.  Not the Dees. We are the kings of travel in 2020

West Coast have to leave home.....  what a shame

I hope they schedule the GF in Perth and WC don't make it.

If MFC happen to somehow win the flag and we can't go, I hope it's in Perth so their supporters bear witness.

Did I mention I hate West Coast?

Perspective

One was bad luck (Eagles in the first round)

The second is our fault in that we need the NT money and thus Alice Springs

Imagine if we'd had to go to Tasmania !!

At 7 venues we're in the mix.

There is no doubt that Saints were favoured simply because for a while they were good for the media narrative.

2021 likely to be be a strange season as well

So... what would you bid ??

Queensland has not ruled out throwing money at the AFL to fend off other states hoping to host the grand final later this year.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she would wait for Victoria and the AFL to formally relinquish the MCG's rights to host the game before putting money on the table....

If I was her... nothing.... I'd tell Gil to say yes or his clubs can go to NT and play...

If I was her, I would be prepared to pay quite a bit, as long as it's played in October. Queensland's State election is being held on 31 October.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
