Round 16/17/18/19 fixtures

in Melbourne Demons

The AFL is leaving it a bit late to release the fixtures for these rounds. My tips are:

Melbourne v GWS - Saturday 3 July (night)

Port Adelaide v Melbourne - Friday 9 July (night)

Melbourne v Hawthorn - Sunday 18 July (3.20pm)

Melbourne v Gold Coast - Saturday 24 July (4.40pm)

I really have no idea though. Thoughts?

    Wish they would hurry up. I want to book accommodation for the Gold Coast game.  Your prediction would be only be slightly improved with a 2.20 start for us on the Saturday. Would get to an earlier sitting at the Teppan after the game. Sunday afternoon would be fairly disastrous.

    Last time I looked at the Metricon Stadium site we were scheduled to play the Suns Sat July 23rd night.

    Hopefully Metricon at a sensible family friendly hour so I can take my 6yo eldest (massive Petracca and Lever fan) to his first Dees game up the road. Otherwise it’s me and Brownieeeeee (you’re the designated drive brownie?)

    A bit of deduction can be used to narrow things down a bit.

    In Round 17 we play Port. No other games are as big as that one (there's Bulldogs v Sydney and Richmond v Collingwood). So I'd say we'll be Friday night (or Thursday night).

    Working backwards, you'd hope that means we're not on the Sunday the week before, to avoid a five-day break. But there are two MCG games (Collingwood v St Kilda is the other) so unless one's a Thursday or Friday night, they have to be Saturday and Sunday. I'd expect us to be Saturday, not Sunday. Question is then whether we're day or night. This week we're night vs Essendon, so we might be the day game vs GWS, otherwise it's a lot of Melbourne on FTA (no complaints from me of course).

    Round 18 vs Hawthorn there are three MCG games so again, unless there is a Thursday night, these need to be spaced. Richmond v Brisbane a good chance for the Friday night, but Collingwood v Carlton could be a Sunday afternoon as they play in that timeslot a bit. We'll be shuffled around those but I expect either Saturday 1.45pm or Sunday 3.20pm.

    Round 19 away to GC will almost certainly be Saturday twilight or night. They play nearly all GC home games in those timeslots.

    Round 20 vs the Dogs could be another Friday night, not much competition for prime time that round (Essendon v Sydney, Fremantle v Richmond). 

    Round 21 vs West Coast I'd pick for Saturday night. There are three Marvel games so one has to be Friday night (I doubt they'll be doing Thursdays by then) - probably Bulldogs v Essendon will be Friday.

    Round 22 vs Adelaide will be Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

    Then Round 23 will come down to critical ladder positioning games I reckon. But there are again three Marvel games so one will have to be Friday night, meaning we won't be (unless there's a Thursday night). I'd expect Bulldogs v Port for the Friday night, leaving us for maybe Saturday night.

    I'll probably get none of these guesses right though.

    It would take me 6 hours to dream all that up.

    Not able to check it ATM but from memory all events scheduled at Metricon for 2021 are on their site with date and time.

    Can’t complain with your logic. All looks pretty reasonable to me.

    I'd be amazed if Dees V Dogs isn't on Friday night, and I reckon you could pretty much put that in the diary with certainty...unless we fall off the cliff over the next month.

    The annual ‘Country Game’ is in pole position for the marquee timeslot in what will be the Bombers’ first trip down the highway since 1993.

    Every Victorian team should be made to do the trip over a period of 3-4 years. It’s a disgrace that the “big teams” have escaped it for decades. Next up to go down the highway: Pies and Hawks.

    Enjoy it - better on them than showering us in bath water and it’ll make it all the more enjoyable if they fall in a heap

    Then we can hear all these moronic stories about how David King and Journo X was “burnt” by the bombers - whatever that means

    Essendon won't be so exuberant after we pump them on Saturday night.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
