    Looks like this:

    Thurs GC v Rich
    Fri Geel v Ess
    Sat day either us or Haw v Port
    Sat twi Ade v Bris
    Sat night Freo v Carl
    Sat night 2 either us or Haw v Port
    Sun early Sydney v West Coast
    Sun day Coll v St Kilda
    Sun twilight Dogs v North

    Last question is whether we're the Sat night game or whether they give it to Hawthorn v Port (Burgoyne's 400th, and my bet).

    Or a 4:35pm to throw a spanner in the works.

    Not with Adelaide v Brisbane on Saturday.

    Radio will want a Melbourne Saturday afternoon game, not Adelaide v Brisbane.

    Another Prime Time slot gifted to Geelong

     

    If true, that will mean Geelong will have been on Thursday or Friday night for five out of six straight weeks (Rounds 13, 14, 15, 16 and 18).

    It's of course somewhat possible their Round 17 game vs Carlton will end up in prime time too. And then in Round 19 Geelong plays Richmond, another major Friday night contender.

    The rolling fixture presents good opportunities but one of the clear drawbacks is that if each week the AFL feels determined to prioritise the top sides, the same sides are going to get all of the prime time matches. 

    The way it's shaping, we're going to have had Geelong on Thurs/Fri night for something like six out of seven straight weeks).

    Richmond is also likely to feature a lot: Friday night tonight, Thursday night next week, then games vs Collinwood, Brisbane and Geelong, all of which you can easily see being in prime time.

    Our round 22 clash against Geelong will also surely be on Thursday or Friday night.

    Yep.

    So it's entirely feasible that in the 11 games from Rounds 13-23, Geelong will be on a Thursday or Friday night in all bar four of them. Which will be 10 total given they had three Friday nights before the bye.

    Meanwhile Richmond tonight plays its 7th Thurs/Fri night with its 8th next week.

    Meanwhile how is it 6pm on Friday and we don't know when teams are playing next week?

    Doesn't the length of a break between games influence how a team plans its rehab/training schedule for the week?

    Really ambivalent about Geelong getting the prime time slots

    Just keep winning and it’ll come 

    It's not a gripe about us not getting prime time slots.

    It's about the general football population being given games on TV featuring the same sides all the time.

    It's just a heap of Geelong and Richmond.

    It's an interesting and in my view negative side effect to the rolling fixture, which almost guarantees the same sides playing all the prime time games in the second half of the year.

    Still no fixture? How are teams meant to plan? This is ridiculous. 

    Can only imagine the clubs have been told by now.

    Sounds like it’s 1.45 or 7:25 for the Dees, and the AFL and channel 7 are weighing up whether to put on Burgoyne’s 400th or a finals relevant game in Melb V GWS for Saturday night.

    Quietly hoping for a good old fashioned Saturday arvo game.

    I would also prefer an early Saturday game. Finishes at a great time to still have a Saturday night out.

    • 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.
