I love the Friday night game concept! All AFL fans will tune for a real game after yet another Carlton Richmond blockbuster fizzer.

I don't really care who we play so long as it draws an audience. I want to be there for the unfurling 🏆

You along with another 50,000 members, then there’s the lapsed members who’ll want to be there.

Even if the flag unfurling is scheduled against a low pulling opposition crowd (gws, gc, freo), there’d still be at least 60,000 at the game just to see the flag unfurled.

Could be another fizzer if the boys take up where they left off.
And there's nothing to say they won't.

Perfect timing really if im playing Cricket Finals in March, can catch a 9am flight and be back in time for a  1pm game Brilliant Dees.

I would rather play a team coming off the same AFL mandate rest period and training schedule (Bulldogs) than one that has had over a month more Training loads and system based training development.

Who iam i kidding who cares who we play, the players will want a W that night and send out a msg to the League that we want to live it all again in 2022.


Demons are the heavyweight champions who made the other premiership ‘contenders’ last finals campaign look like a bunch of bantam weights.  When the “live” show arrives at the ‘G’ next season enjoy. Come rain or shine whoever.

MFCSS is Gawn.

Assuming if it's at the G, it'll be one of our home games.

In which case, surely the club would rather pull 80k than have a low drawing interstate team and have 60k.

The AFL is averse to playing GF replays  in round 1, so while it may happen it’s no certainty.

Would be a fantastic way to open the season though- Our first Friday night game at the G since 2019.

Alternatively we could play the Cats and stuff their confidence early in the season.

Love v. Bombers. 90,000 crowd. Ticketed. $$$$s. Friday night. Bang bang bang bang !!!!!

As our home game though. I don’t think we have had a hole game v these druggies since before they were caught out.

Yes home games of course to unfurl the flag.  Big 90000 back at the G 🏆

Adelaide will have massive improvement this year. Burgess is a huge get.

We are the away team for both QB and Anzac eve so no $$ there.

Need Essendon and Carlton home games at the MCG in the first six rounds preferably. (While their fans think they have a chance in 2022)

TBH Bulldogs won't deliver  a high number of away fans which is where you make the money. Also it will get its own Friday night status when played. Why would you share that TV coverage with a Thursday night game

Spot on. The smart decision commercially. Which pays the bills doesn't it?  Could guarantee a 90K crowd possibly with the above suggested teams.

I’m really hoping there’s been some discussion on this as both years we’ve been home teams we’ve been screwed out of good crowds. Maybe not so much the ANZAC eve last year but certainly QB we barely would’ve got two 5 cent pieces to rub together. That’s on top of the Alice Springs games being taken away. 

Either way we do need to maximise our exposure to get the best $$$$ we can get.

Sorry Cassie, but this is old MFC mentality. Relax. We are now the reigning premiers; the best footy club in the world. We got there with a group who has faced every challenge without qualm. If the AFL schedules us to play Footscray and Geelong at the same time, on the moon, I would give us a sniff.

Bring it on.

A lot of great teams have faltered in the first round. It take a while to get into gear again. Remember we beat reigning premiers North in the opening round in 1997 then won only 3 more games.

Richmond have been slow starters each year after their premierships, the only thing that’s ensured them getting the W in round one is that they keep playing the Blues. 

I think facing the dogs definitely has the advantage of coming up against a team that’s had the exact same preparation time. 

Friday night vs the Dogs would surely be 70k plus

QB unlikely away given we haven't had a chance to do it at home for 2 years.

If we played dogs first game would it lead to us playing them twice? Probably wouldn't matter but I'd prefer the double game against a bottom side.

One thing for sure Dees fans from everywhere will come out of the woodwork to see the flag unfurled. So looking fwd to 2022 season with the curse being crushed. Back to back baby.

I reckon it's a huge psych edge on them as well, we smash them in the grand final, and then start begging to play them round one. it's gotta impact the dogs mentally a bit. 

i see a cats vs Hawks type rivalry forming between the two teams. 

if we were to lose (god forbid) a round 1 rematch with the dogs i predict there would be a massive pandemic of mfcss on demonland

There already is 😆

I'm all for this idea, I think it will have a fantastic atmosphere to it and would be a great way to kick off season 2022.

I don't understand how people are concerned that this Melbourne won't bring the heat, but somehow the Doggies will.

Given our 2021 season, and how overwhelmingly good we were in the finals we should all have complete and utter faith that this team will perform no matter the occasion, venue, team or time.

Any team. Anywhere. Anytime.

Go Dees!

Haven't you heard?

We sang a song they like, and the Dogs are furious!

Can't see us beating them until we apologise.

Dogs by 81 points.

That’s the thing. If any round of the season is one where they need to size up opponents and readjust and test the opponents it’s round 1

Reckon Daniel gets a rough trot here.
Lets face it ..... Gawn dived.
And Daniel probably just called him out on it rather than the stand over tough guy act it's portrayed as.

100%

I think this is perfect!

gets us up and about. If we lose it’s a wake up call Round 1; if we win we roll the momentum on.

mindset is our biggest risk in 2022, maybe alongside injuries. This helps remove complacency from day 1.

go demons!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
