How can it not be Bulldogs vs Dees even if we're both not 10-0. Unless the wheels fall off one or both of us before then we should absolutely be given the slot.

Even then just look at the fact that Saints Geelong have a Friday Night Game in a couple of weeks.

    Well that's a moot point as it's been announced back to back Friday nights

    Great result for us, a prime time slot also gives good promotion for one of our major sponsors in Tourism NT. It being at night means it will very likely be quite chilly, which you would imagine favours us, not to mention we have experience of playing the ground. 

    I will get there at some point but sadly not next year.

    Again we don't get any advantage from this game in NT as we play a northern interstate team used to these conditions.

    Apart from Port & Adelaide we have only played the saints at NT (Uluru not Darwin)

    Not actually correct as the last few games there have been very good conditions.  It’s not Darwin where the humidity has been an issue

    It would be hot a slippery just like the Gabba.

    It will be cold as balls. It's not being played in Darwin

    For round 11 who gets the Friday night?

    Collingwood V Geelong - MCG

    Richmond V Adelaide - MCG

    West Coast V Essendon - Optus

    Bulldogs V Melbourne - Marvel

    Will they pick 2 new sides on the rise or fall into old habits and simply choose Richmond or Collingwood. 

    surely its us and the Dogs

    Does it get cold in Alice Springs? Never been there or NT. Desert state isnt it. Only know (lived)  Melbourne  and seen Syd, Surfers Paradise and Adelaide Casino. Lived in Bangkok last 21 years. I know Ayres Rock is no longer.

    This is actually a great result and hopefully sees the AFL move to flexible fixture in the future. There's no way they would have had us vs Bris in NT or vs Dogs on a Friday night when creating the fixture last year

    Because Channel 7 will want Collingwood v Geelong. Those two teams could be 17th and 18th on the ladder (or 1st versus 18th) and it would still pull more viewers than Bulldogs v Melbourne as 1st and 2nd (or 2nd and 1st).

    What is this sort of analysis doing on 'Land? Mods . . . please.

    Ayers Rock (Uluru) is still there - you just can't climb it

    Was that Carlton game the "bruise free footy" game?

    The floating fixture must stay IMO You then get rewarded for playing well instead of waiting 12 months

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
