Melbourne is likely to secure at least three marquee contests in the first six weeks of the 2022 season with the league open to the Demons playing a Round 1 premiership replay against the Western Bulldogs.

Playing on the Friday of Round 1 would also put the Demons in the box seat to play on the Thursday of Round 2 given the league could schedule them off a six-day break.

Given they play Richmond in Round 6, they could play the Tigers’ Round 1 opponent Carlton on the Thursday of Round 2.

Last year Collingwood played the Dogs on the Friday of Round 1 and then Carlton on the Thursday of Round 2.

 

 

i think we were generously reward 2nd half of last year as well. We played most of our games at night from memory. 

Still think we should get the privilege to kick start the season.

We'll have to find something else to do on Sunday afternoons.

 

It's not just that we're reigning Premiers, but there are two other reasons why Channel 7 is likley to want us on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Firstly, we play an attractive brand of football that people like to watch. Secondly (and related to the first), we're one of the highest goal scoring teams which allows for more ad breaks during play.

Even if we cop Mother’s Day next year I’m sure all the Mums out there will give their Demon tragics a leave pass given how much footy we’ve missed lately!

Can definitely handle a Friday and Thursday night to open the season. Also hoping for plenty of Saturday arvo games as you can’t beat going to the MCG during that time slot IMO.

Our sponsors will love it!

I think the clubs fortunes will now accelerate due to increased members, attendances and sponsorships but the must never forget the members who stood by the club through the period from 1964 to 2021.

Might have to watch cellar dwellers Hawks play Pies


Dare I get excited about not making the trip to Mordor in 2022?

*not that I think we wouldn’t win

It seems completely just and appropriate that after a 9 month wait for live football the season should kick off with a Thursday night blockbuster featuring….

12th vs 13th 🤷‍♂️

Why is this a thing? It also predetermines that those 2 clubs get prime time slots for weeks after that due to break requirements. It’s beyond boring.

What no more mid winter 3:15pm starts at a frigid MCG?

What will I do with myself?

Maybe watch the replay of our prime time game.

Can't believe they're persisting with this godawful matchup to start the season, year after year. When was the last time these two teams had a close match? When was the last time both were even contenders in the same year?

Compare that to proven rivalries like Geelong v Hawks, which have yielded some cracking matches regardless of ladder position.

The season should start on a Friday and the first game should always be the Grand Final rematch. Have a Friday double-header if you want to make an event of it, but this Thursday matchup is a proven dud.

As long as the AFL remains committed to Hawthorn v Geelong on Easter Monday and the two ANZAC Day/eve games, a Grand Final rematch can't always be the season opener. Those games mean it's impossible to commit to the Grand Final replay as the first game in case it's Hawthorn v Geelong, Essendon v Collingwood or Melbourne v Richmond because within weeks they'd be playing again.  In fact, Easter Monday can be as early as Round 1.

We are playing Carlton in round 2. Thursday Night.

They get an armchair ride every year with the timeslots - this time every year people say "they'll be much better next year".

I loved how (due to covid) the prime time matches were selected as the season went on - rewards the clubs winning and playing an attractive game style.  Was hoping this was one of the covid changes that could continue

And at the end of it Carltank Supporters will be livid with the first two insipid loses and want to sack the board, coach, players and anything else in the way!!

And more frustration for me.

Agree but I did like the 1:30pm starts in the winter sunshine with half a stand to myself

O well... progress

You can add a trip down to there to the established 2 certainties in life.

Just because we won a flag and Collingwood almost won the spoon, you can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll be sent to Geelong before them.

We have to give Geelong the chance to have a blockbuster.

Any team, anywhere anytime.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
