    Personally don't like the day we're playing don't like the Team we're playing, any chance of getting a kick up the backside as we walk through the turnstiles.

    AFL is one huge joke. Near on 4 bottom sides in 21 play Thursday and Friday nights to start 22 and we get the Wednesday. Unbelievable.

    Oh well in any case as being up in Qld I can watch it on Wednesday night. Just trust we get a big crowd and the ratings is better than the Thursday and Friday night games. Only way Channel 7 and AFL will take any notice.

    Thinking positively it will most likely mean 2-3 more blockbuster fixtures for us.

    Thursday night in round 2 and Friday night in round 3?

    I reckon this is brilliant.  I love the fact we are kicking off the season.  I know a Wednesday night is not ideal for some supporters to attend but having the GF replay kick off the season is a great way to start.

    I'm happy to play dogs ...the Afl is obviously recreating a gf atmosphere but it's tough for fans with work the next day. Given that we had to play in another state in our gf , you'd think we would get a break and given a Friday night. Cwood v saints, what a classic that will be.

    As will I. Not missing the flag being unfurled.

    I actually really like the idea that the GF replay kicks off the season. That feels right.

    The real problem is the Thursday night stinker. It’s been a garbage game for years. It also means those 2 teams get TV games for the first 3 weeks of the year - which sucks all the air out of the start of the season for the impartial fan.

    If Richmond hadn’t won 3 flags the AFL would have canned it. Time for it to be buried in the weekend and for Thursday night to by GF replay. Reward the competitive teams.

    The clubs done some fantastic things in the last few years, but letting the AFL walk all over us again is pretty weak!!!

    We just won the Flag & we still let the AFL push us around

    Some things will never change

    Hey Billy,

    Hear your pain, but I suspect there was some horse trading around this one and our fixture will reflect it.

    Family friendly … no !!! Wanted a massive round 1 Friday night fixture for the Dees v Bombers or Cats or even Dogs.  
    Got a Wednesday night. Hmmmm nah yeah nah

    why not the Friday night as Dees v Dogs  ( why Stk v pies on Friday as two underperforming non-2021-finals clubs )

    Western Bulldogs and St Kilda will also hit the road in Round 6 for the ANZAC Appeal Round. 

    Western Bulldogs will host Adelaide Crows at MARS Stadium in Ballarat from 1.45pm on Saturday April, 23, continuing the Dogs’ association with the Ballarat community.

    St Kilda has been given a second Friday night game in the early part of the season when Brett Ratten’s men take on Greater Western Sydney in Canberra in Round 6. 

    The Friday night match will kickstart the ANZAC Appeal Round on April 22 and will also coincide with the return of superstar forward Toby Greene for the Giants.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
