I’m not a fan of this, Wednesday night….

Season opener should be on the Thursday, but Richmond v Blues should be bumped back, or find Richmond another opponent but they won’t because of the crowd they’ll draw.

    That really sucks, thanks AFL for thinking of all the Demon country members that have to travel 4 hours to see the unfurling of the flag and then work Thursday 

    Money hungry grubs

    17th placed Collingwood gets to launch with a Friday night game? 🥴

    I like the games / match ups just not the order.

    The club agreed to it and i don't understand why. If money was the driver (highly likely) then why not push for the Friday night game. We are well within our rights to make that demand. Not a good decision by the club at all

    Neither do I. It’s a hard sell for me. I hate it. It’s completely going to alienate fans who live far away or have small kids or work late. It’s a ludicrous choice. Friday or Saturday night would have been much better. 
     

    Also from a selfish perspective we were going to head away that week and be back for the weekend. I planned my wedding date specifically to be the week before the footy season started each year. Now they go and put us on Wednesday I can’t even have an anniversary holiday. My husband is thrilled I’m ditching him for footy again.

    If money is the driver, why combine two big events into one game?

    They would of had a large crowd for the flag unfurling and then another large crowd for a grand final rematch.

    Why, so they can have Collingwood on Friday night? What a joke, Docklands is free on Saturday have us on Friday and move Pies/Saints to Saturday. Now we have a midweek game that will make it difficult for families and others with rigid working hours to attend. Seriously, [censored] the AFL.

    Yeap in every way. Great concept but doesn’t look a great outcome. Pert, not a great one pal.

    Saints and Pies get there best slot with most viewers and best chance of a large crowd. 7:50 start and no work the next day

    all about the AFL trying to get the most viewers over 5 days to line their pockets. Nothing new I guess

    Not sure if it's a television event or a crowd grab.

    My feeling is that crowdwise it's way too much too soon and it will fall flat. TV wise it will rate well and TBH that is probably what it's all about

    As to our game what a stupid way to hobble a blockbuster

    Feels like we are sitting in Seat 1A but are still being served the economy meal.

    Just goes to show that the AFL wanted their cake and eat it too.

    Teams that finish 1st and 2nd on a Wednesday night but teams that finish 10th and 17th on Friday night?? Seriously!!

    There better be some sort of compensation from the AFL in regards to this decision in the fixture.

    Possibly another Friday night home game early in the season?

    Gee that brings back a memory.  Unprompted I got upgraded to Business Class on a flight from MEL to SYD.  By the way the attendant threw my meal at me I think they might have upgraded the wrong Mr Jontee.

    PS: I think a Wednesday night game is a stinker.

    We need to make the Club know that we aren’t happy with this decision 

    I have to take this Monday off to be able to go to the clubs celebrations tomorrow

    This club really does allow itself to get pushed around by the AFL and the network.

    And why the fuss over playing the Bulldogs round 1? I couldn't give a fig who we play as long as it's at home on a night where we can fill the ground.

    Stupid, stupid stupid decision by Pert and his crew. The network will have a field day at the expense of the supporters and members. They make a song and dance about including the members and then he does this? Bloody mental.

    True, and even worse for any Dees fans coming from interstate

    • 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.
