The Herald Sun have just revealed when Grundy and the Dees will play Collingwood, but it's behind a paywall.

Would find it amusing if you signed up and paid to see the article only for the Herald Sun to announce it's the Kings Birthday.

My first thoughts exactly.

    Funny you mentioned that.

    The article says it will be Round 13  with King's Birthday  game on Monday June 12.

    (No, I didn't sign up to pay for that info!)

    Does the article say that we will play them again in the last few rounds?

    Dont be too cynical, they might come up with more groundbreaking news like Collingwood might play Essendon on Anzac Day :)

    Happy just to play them once next year excluding finals.

    Losing to them twice in the one year was soul destroying in front of 50K filth each time. I find Pies supporters as a collective to be far too much to handle when they're up and about. Kind of felt like they willed their team over the line in our round 21 game.

    Yup was a zoo in the Afl both games.

    But a good part of our profit is because 50000 Collingwood paid for tickets at our home game.

    Also think they just as likely to be a poor team next season so playing them twice won't be too bad.

    Can already see our double ups coming against low drawing Vic teams and interstate teams. Some [censored] like Freo, Port, WB, geelong, Brisbane and Sydney

    Can't get behind the paywall but just saw this on HS website:

    Good Friday club dumped for Vic powerhouse

    "The AFL will thrust one of the biggest clubs in the league into the Good Friday limelight in a bid to add some extra spice to the annual public holiday game".

    Any guesses?

    My guess is Essendon for North/Saints.

    Just doesn't seem fair whoever it is being dumped.

    Spoiler Alert 🚨: It’s Carlton

    I was wrong on both clubs.

    Really glad North are still in it.  They lost the Friday nights they pioneered decades ago and it would be inappropriate for them to lose GF now.  They need the leg up.  As for Carlton.  Just as bad as Ess getting the GF gig!

    I think it is Available but geelong don't want to play there until the stands completed, more money more money, that is what fixture is all about.

    We didn't have to travel there in 2017 - only because their stands were being re-developed.

    Oh and in 2020 the AFL were nice enough not to schedule us there (in the revised lock down fixture where nobody could attend the MCG!)

    Hi LH. I think I read earlier in this thread that it’s Adelaide v Carlton, Port v Dogs and one other I can’t quite remember.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
