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.

We beat them in 2021?

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
