I think a bit tough. Adelaide, bears and Freo all at their home grounds.  The ladies bogey side, the dogs, at whitten oval.

    We play 2/4 of last years bottom 4 teams, whereas Brisbane play them all.

    But then who knows, some teams will improve and some be worse. Particularly in the women’s game, you only need one injury to a key player and your chances of winning the comp goes down the gurgler.

    You need to beat the best to be the best. The fixture is fine - we just can't afford to drop games against the bottom sides as we did last year.

    Disappointing however not to get home games against any of the big Victorian sides.

    Wondering if the fixture on the AFL website is the latest?

    Bulldogs have played 6 games and by my count are scheduled to play 3 more in rounds 7 to 9.  That is a total of 9 games for the season.  (They round 10 game vs Freo was brought forward and played a few weeks ago). 

    However, I can't find a substitute game for their round 2 postponed Lions game...

    I must say the current round has produced some disappointing contests. 

    With four extra teams coming in next year, the AFL needs to look at the disparity in strength between the top half dozen clubs and the rest and even consider a two division competition for a couple of years until things stabilize.

    Yep. Surely we'll play Geelong next season... could even still be in 2022!

    Well my fixture by Demonland was posted earlier on my phone than DIO and Wonnabeeri on the 2 Dec comments. 

    Would not have been much in it but Dland fixture for 10 rounds inc. R 10 was at 6.45 pm and the other comments after that were in my phone. DIO'was 8.07  pm. 
    But it's weird worrying about a Dees game potentially in 2023 when we haven't completed 2022. 
    Maybe  unless she lives in Geelong!!

    Yep, I hadn't caught up with the Round 10 release. From memory, I'd heard they were going to keep the last round unfixtured for flexibility.

    I'm just interested because it's a quirk in the fixture that we've never played Geelong in four seasons. No big deal.

    Bloody annoying they have the free game on at 4pm on weekday. Really hard to get there with the kids to watch the girls play after school being in freo.

    The AFLW fixture is broken but it can be fixed.

    Some posters have noticed that in the hastily put together redraw of matches, the Western Bulldogs who have played six games to date, have only three games left on their fixture. Geelong have played seven matches but are drawn to play four more including the mysteriously unplayed Round 7 game v Fremantle from Sunday.

    That game is the key to the puzzle. It should be scrapped and replaced with a game between Freo and the Bulldogs which would then ultimately lead to all teams finishing the season on 10 games. The question for the AFLW is when to play the game.

    By late cancellation of the Geelong vs Freo game the AFL seem to have woken up to the problem.

    You have answered the mystery by noticing the extra Geelong game and that a Freo vs Bulldogs game will fix the problem.   It can be played in round 10 as both teams currently have a 'bye' according to the afl website.

    Bulldogs are playing well so it could be a key game to determine the final ladder order. 

     

    Edit:  I just noticed that Freo and Bulldogs played their round 10 game on Feb 1 which Freo won.  So there must be a mismatch elsewhere in the fixture, at least in the one published on the afl website.

    Hopefully, the clubs know who they are playing...

    I think the AFL have snookered themselves.

    To keep the season going they rescheduled games but also mixed and matched teams that weren't originally scheduled to play each other.  Somewhere in those mixes and matches they have miscalculated the number of games.

    The result (according to my summary of the season) all teams will have played 10 games except the Bulldogs who will play 9. 

    Can't see a way of fixing this that will be fair to all teams.  The teams they haven't played are Lions, North, Saints and Carlton.  It wouldn't be fair to the first two who will be in finals to play another game for no points.  And it wouldn't be fair to teams in the finals for them to play Saints or Carlton for whom it will be an exhibition match and virtually gift the bulldogs 4 pts. 

    The best thing that can happen is that after round 9 the Bulldogs are well and truly out of contention for finals or cannot progress higher up the ladder if in finals, so the 10th game doesn't matter and it is forfeited. 

    I assume someone at the Bulldogs has alerted the AFL to this rather glaring anomaly.

    Yes - just realised that - well there is a problem.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
