It's like we are getting punished for winning. I guess the predictability of our games at the moment means no prime time Friday nights. The dogs on the other hand how many FTA night games they up to now?

 

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.


I just came here to read people complain about our 5 day gap between Adelaide and Geelong

Thursday night in Geelong makes it damn hard for visiting fans to get to

I will never go to that [censored] ever again

 

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.

I havent been for a long time but would consider this year, especially if we can embarrass the Cats on their own crap ground

A shocker.

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

bigger punishment for the seniors.  Hawkins won't even be finished his EPO transfusions by then

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.

lack of friday night doesnt really bother me.  Sat nights suit me much better.

and Sat twilights are great too


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.

 

We play the Dockers, Pies, Blues and Lions after that and all these games will be prime time night games except maybe the Pies.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
