Never a better time than to start planning for 2023. The draw? Or the “biased coordinated schedule of events” is a better description.  We hopefully get a balanced schedule in 23.
 

 Given the Dees finished 5th in 2022, I thought I’d go and check who finished 5th in 2021 and how we might get a similar draw - and who we could play twice. 
So Lions finished 5th. Knocked out like the Dees in straight sets. Lions played Dees, Giants, Saints, Bombers & Suns twice.  That’s 1st, 7th,8th,10th,16th. So hypothetically Dees would play Cats, Tigers, Bulldogs, Saints and Giants twice. That’s ok. 
 

Some thoughts for 2023 to start 

1- special games: a) play home games v Tigers (Anzac day), b) v Pies (Kings birthday) , c) v Giants in the NT game. 
2-  play Cats,  Blues, Bombers and Saints at the MCG. $$$$$$$s 

3- play last round at home v Cats at the G. 
4- interstate games x 6 -v Swans, v Giants, v Suns (during July school holidays) v Crows, v Eagles, v Freo. 
5- play Lions and Power at the MCG. 
 

HOME-  10 MCG games v Tigers, Pies, Cats, Blues, Saints, Bulldogs, Bombers, Lions, Power, Kangas. Plus NT game   

Interstate games 6… plus “local” away games Hawks (MCG) Cats (GMHBA), Tigers (MCG), Bulldogs ( Marvel) , Saints(Marvel). 
 

Anyway it’s really in the hands of the AFL team of actuaries and their marketing department!!!

Asked the AFL said we can have what's left after Geelong Collingwood Richmond Carlton Essendon and the interstate teams have had their wish list filled. 

 

If we play Geelong at GMHBA and none of Essendon Richmond Carlton or Collingwood do, I'll....do nothing but be [censored] off.

  • Demonland changed the title to 2023 Fixture Wishlist

Given our recent record at the MCG, maybe more interstate games would benefit.

Ignoring the above, I would prefer 11 home games at the MCG and to play the away games against every other tenant at the MCG.

Don't know how many games at home it comes to but it would make my MCC membership more attractive.

 


A mid-season break which is actually a mid-season break. Think this year we played Queens Birthday, but our next match was only 10 days later on a Thursday night. 

A more even spread of home / MCG matches across the season would be good as well.  This year we went five weeks without a game at the MCG, which was ridiculous.

 

West Coast at the MCG. We haven’t played them there since 2014.

 

I will be happy if we for once don’t have to play Geelong in Geelong. Surely the AFL can give us one year off that trip in their fixture. 

So the usual complains that we pray to not have are Geelong at their pub ground and west coast in Perth.

However, it is almost guaranteed we are gonna get the Cats twice and they wont both be at the G.

Even if we have a home game against West Coast it will probably end up being in Alice so it will be 9 years where we don't get them at the G.

My hopes are:

  • 2 games at Adelaide Oval - we play that ground better than any other and its one of, if not, the best interstate trip 
  • Sydney at the SCG - Only played them there twice since 2013 and we need to learn how to beat them up there in case we get a final at the SCG (also last proper ground I haven't seen Melbourne play at)
  • 15 MCG/Marvel + plus 1 in Geelong rather than the 14, 1 and 7 interstate trips we normally have.
  • Breakdown on that being 3 MCG away games (13 in total) and 2 at Marvel.
  • More Saturday 2:10 games - did not have a single Saturday red ball game at the G this year (only Sunday 1:10 against the Saints).
  • QB/KB and Anzac Eve are our home games so hoping for double ups agianst the Pies and Tigers on Friday nights for exposure.
  • Not [censored] North in Hobart with a ten goal breeze but that is also wishful thinking.
  • Round 1 home game on a Saturday arvo against Essendon/Carlton/Hawthorn.

- Proper mid year bye

- Proper breaks between games more often

- No more Thursday night games (Come get me)

Why would they?

Bombers once since 1993

Pies this millennium 

Tigers once this millennium 

Blues... theyve actually been there 6 times this millennium. 

 

Weve been there.... 18 times this millennium. 

  • 2 months later...

Rumours in Adelaide suggesting we will be playing Geelong at AO during Majic round.

As long as we dont play them at their dunghole I would take that.

I don't mind that if it is Geelong's Home game but I bet it will be ours! 

Which means we may also end up playing them at Geelong🙄

don't be silly, that'll be our notional home game against them...

Don't really care about the who, very much care about the when. No Wednesday or Thursday night games, and a bare minimum of Friday and Saturday night home games please. I'd be happy if Anzac Eve was our only home night game for the year.

You know it will be both


I reckon we will play Geelong, Giants, Carlton and Freo twice. 

Throw Geelong in for a third time during Magic round, Otherwise Essendon as the home team so they can have the home game at the G.

Won't happen Poita Plenty of prime again to give Club ability to maximise its sponsors And how come you don't care !!! About The draw easy or hard.

Everything  on your terms so it seems nothing for the Dees!!! 

After many years of just making numbers up we deserve the spoils of a top Club and games with tension and atmosphere of big crowds.

Play West Coast and Geelong at the MCG

 

I’d do a deal with the devil just to not have to go to Geelong. Ever. EVER. 

Surely we would want to play Freo twice to try and maximise holding their 1st and 2nd rd picks.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
