As will I. Not missing the flag being unfurled.

Coming down from northern NSW. Had to miss the celebrations. I'm not missing the grand old flag going up.

The only way to get a prime time Friday slot is to keep winning flags and grow our supporter base right across the country.

TV Ratings rule.

It's a bummer about the annual leave we will burn for this but we'll be there with you all. Let's fill the G and smash them again.

Can't wait.

Who wants to bet the Saints have more Friday night games than us?

i'll take that bet, particularly if you caveat it with 'home' friday night games vs 'away' friday night games

Or be Collingwood.

 

It's a chance for Demons to extend the delight.

First televised game - grand final replay - Lets make it a blockbuster TV event

First game at the MCG - unfurl the flag in front of fans - Lets make it a bloblockbuster attended game

First Saturday game at the MCG - repeat the family day content and entertainment outside the ground if necessary - repeat the unfurling and parade the cup - premiership players and full squad involved after game.

Lets show the AFL that we are passionate and proud supporters who can watch TV and can watch replays but like to attend matches. Only Covid has affected our attendance. We will gather from far and wide and provide an economic stimulus to the city when we attend games.

They already have 2 more Friday nights than us and the fixture hasn't even come out yet.

Why does the AFL insist in dribbling out the fixtures. FFS just anounce the all the games when they have worked it out. I find it infuriating.

I really like the Port fixture in Alice Springs

I haven’t enjoyed getting flogged by them 3 years in a row 🙄 Let’s hope we can reverse the trend!


Like I said on another post, would you rather play the Suns on a Sunday twilight game in front of 17 people instead?? I get that Wednesday night is hardly a family/work friendly slot but we are opening the entire season in a grand final rematch that we bloody won. The negativity on this forum is astounding.

We better not be sent down to Geelong. 

 

Used to always be the case. Like clockwork we were sent there and got pantsed.

But now I think it doesn't matter so much even if it would be fair for cwood to go there just once. 

We smash geelong anywhere.

Provided we're fixtured an away game against Geelong you can bet your life we will be sent to Geelong.

I'd imagine the AFL will want Geelong and us to meet twice.

Geelong usually play 2 home games in Melbourne and one of those is already confirmed to be Essendon.

Back to Geelong again!  2 trips to Perth, away games against the Suns and Lions and both Adelaide sides away as well.


Will we ever play the Eagles in Melbourne again? Or have we just been pigeon holed as playing them in WA every year?

Cats down in that [censored] hole again at least by round 17 they should be well and truly cooked 

 

Seriously why can't we play west coast at home? Also I think it's harsh we play the last round interstate.

St least we only play essenscum once & I can't believe we have to trek back to Geelong.

Is may 8th mother's Day? Great fixturing 1pm.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
