Thats a nice times bye for the boys.

3 bye’s in a row! That’s a great fixture! 

So this is what it’s like being an AFL love child club

Rnd 11.  Friday night match

Rnd 12. Friday night match

Rnd 13. Monday QB holiday match

Rnd 14. Bye

Rnd 15. Saturday night match

All matches on free to air, no Sunday games = More eyeballs watching us. For once we are actually giving our sponsors good value.

I feel like I'm in an alternate universe 

So by Round 15 we'll have had 10 FTA games and only 4 Foxtel games.

If I have a complaint, it's that only two of those 10 FTA games will have been Friday nights (and zero Thursday nights), only one of which was a home game and it will have been in Alice Springs.

By comparison, to the same point of the year St Kilda will have had one Thursday night game and two Friday night games, and two of those as home games at Marvel.

It's a very minor complaint TBH, given where we've come from. Plus further opportunities to come (albeit again mainly away games):

  1. Round 15 away to Essendon - they're playing on Sunday the previous week so would have to get them on a 5-day break to get a Friday night
  2. Round 16 home to GWS - not much competition that week for prime time (Geelong v Essendon?) so might get a Saturday night at best?
  3. Round 17 away to Port - has to be a good chance for a Friday night, or Thursday night if they're still happening that late in the season
  4. Round 18 home to Hawthorn - nope
  5. Round 19 away to GC - nope
  6. Round 20 home to the Dogs - another good chance
  7. Round 21 away to West Coast - possibly, but Perth games are so often on Sundays
  8. Round 22 home to Adelaide - nope
  9. Round 23 away to Geelong - will depend on ladder positioning going into that round.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
