    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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
