    The Sunday games are also underwhelming, 

    Sunday, June 13
    North Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney, Blundstone Arena, 3.20pm AEST

    Sunday, June 20
    Hawthorn v Essendon, MCG, 3.20pm AEST

    All stand alone games, although, Hawks v Bombs could be close, but full of errors.

    I guess it is lucky the round starts on Thursday.

    Are you keen to play on Thursday nights?

    Yes!!! A win on Thursday night means we can sit back for the weekend and watch all the ne’er-do-wells battle it out. ?

    Hawks actually got a Friday night game...interesting.

    Assuming the Thursday night games will go for 3 or 4 weeks and then typically disappear again.

    They usually play the TNF games over the bye rounds for some reason (ironically when there's fewer games on)

    Lol I’ve always wondered why they did that but with a full slate no Thus games.

    The best way to kick off a round, aside from seeing the Dees get a win, is seeing Duckwood swearing at the umpires, moments after Geelong have lost in the dying seconds of a close match.

    Round 15 v Essendon Saturday night at the G (their home game) another prime time game as well as obviously Queens Bday in round 13 (bye in round 14)

    Bombers off a 6 day break too.

    We are getting a good draw!

    Perhaps the AFL are kind of apologising for last years horrible draw for us.

    Still more draws to come and favourable could change to bad.

    That will make it 10 of 14 FTA for the club Gonzo ... fantastic exposure but we need to keep playing well.

    Entirely possible of course with a relatively low injury count and competition within the ranks (to keep all the players on their toes)

    Hate Thursday footy. So hard to get there in time from work. Massively late night by the time you get home. I’m too old for that [censored].

    very few have been in the prime time slot though Macca

    Saturday night is a shared time slot with an interstate game thus preventing national coverage and Sunday 3:20 is just ok

    Thursday and Friday nights are where the big boys play

    I reckon any FTA game is miles ahead of cable or streaming.  Especially those graveyard cable slots where only the very keen know which games are which

    Saturday night on FTA beamed into Melbourne is the guts of a TV audience and what the club would be looking for

    Rounds 11 & 12 are Friday night games and the following week we have the QB holiday Monday to ourselves.  So that's 3 weeks in a row to a total national audience. 

    We can't have every week like that

    Brighten up DJ ... good things are starting to happen.  Embrace!

    In fairness there aren't a lot of great options that week if you take out the QB. As ratings go it's probably the best of the worst options available.

    I think the reason is scheduling. If you play on Saturday then on the following Thursday that is a five-day break. So you can only really play on a Thursday after a bye or something like that. I think that is also often why we have a bye after QB.

    watching Eddie last night he was saying that the only thing holding Thursday night football back was the FTA channels commitment to existing programming. Suspect the same applies to Monday night football.

    Others on the panel said players didn't mind a 5 day break as long as it was limited to once or twice a season

    Tell that to Brisbane, playing in Melbourne on Saturday then have to back up with a Thursday night game against the Cats.

    AFL will use it as a bargaining chip at the next media rights agreement. Why give them TNF for free when you can make them pay for it?

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
