The Dogs' prime time and FTA exposure is getting out of hand.

This confirms that, to Round 19, the Dogs will have been on FTA in 16 out of 19 games.

As for us, this is to be expected really. The Port game on a Sunday is at least on FTA, but is the reason the Dogs game is on the Saturday night and not the Friday night.

You'd expect our final four games (Fremantle, Collingwood, Carlton and Brisbane) to all be good chances of prime time.

My rudimentary analysis:

  1. to Round 19, the Dogs will have been on free to air TV in 16 of their 19 games to that point - 10 Thursday or Friday night games, four Saturday night games, and the season opener on a Wednesday night
  2. to Round 19, the Dogs will have had zero Sunday 1.10pm or Sat/Sun twilight games.
  3. to Round 19, we will have had four Thursday/Friday nights (three Thursdays, one Friday), four Saturday nights, and the season opener;
  4. we will also have had six games in the Sunday 1.10pm or Sat/Sun twilight slots.

A shocker.

At least Geelong is on the same five-day break.

Geez the hawks are getting hammered in this fixture worse than Melb in the Neeld years.  They are just missing a tuesday morning game.

nice to see the powerhouse take a hit

I think we should expect to be let down again when the last four weeks are announced.

Round 20 vs Fremantle should definitely be a Friday night but expect it to be Saturday or Sunday because the AFL hates both clubs..

Round 21 vs Carlton should definitely be a Friday night but there are three games at Marvel so it will be shunted into Sunday 3:20 or Saturday night.

Round 22 Vs Collingwood will end up in the Saturday 1:45 as it always does when we play them late in the year 

Round 23 vs Brisbane should be Friday night but can just see Gill's lovechild Saints getting it against Sydney.

One thing I've learned from Demonland is that there is no consistent view from supporters as to preferred timeslots. Some prefer night, others daytime or twilight. Some prefer Thursdays, others don't. And so it goes on.

I think the AFL has realised that they can't satisfy the supporters.

 

So they go out of their way to satisfy Channel 7 instead.

I still don't see why they can't release the full fixture. Trying to plan the Freo game at Optus for July. Have already missed out going to Alice  because all accommodation and good flights taken. make's it extremely difficult to plan ahead.

Disgraceful fixturing. Short break coming off an interstate game against Geelong then again coming off a game in NT against the Dogs. It’s like the AFL needs to keep looking after their darlings. 
Absolute joke n

D'Landers, off-topic here. For QBday, can I just walk-in to the MCG on the day? But apparently I need my membership barcode, where's that barcode? We don't get one in the new mobile membership.

There is a tickets thread where this is probabaly more appropriate.

But, do remember that QB is an away game this year.

So if you have home and away access you'll be able to scan in and sit in GA by using the ticket that becomes avalibale 72 hours before the game in the app.

They want to make sure the cats get the best chances to beat us. They'll need as many wins as possible to even make the 8 😂

The Dogs play Brisbane, Sydney, St Kilda and Melbourne in this block of games. All these games should be good contests and so I have no issue with those games being fixtured in prime time.

IMO the biggest issue with our fixture in the Geelong game has a 5-day break, but this is required for the Swans to not be too disadvantaged and the geriatric Cats have the same short rest.

The Crows game on pay TV will also annoy some fans.

I only have home access, however I understand the QB is a replacement game for the Alice Springs one.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
