Can you imagine the state of Rundle Mall at midnight? a selection of hardcore fans from all teams....

Honestly, thatโ€™ll be a massive improvement.

Not sure how I feel about being the warm up act for Port v Dogs. If an entrance ticket allows you to watch both games will we see the supporters and cheer squads of three Melbourne based teams all shoehorned into the grassed hill at the scoreboard end?ย

and lots of people will catch Covid and the following round will be scrapped.

Have I mentioned how much I despise the people who run the game?

Rab are you going?ย  I would never go to Adelaide to the footy. I went once not long after The crows joined the comp. Their fans made the pies and bombers look like choir boys. What a rabid lot.ย

So when is the fixture actually going to be released? Before the new year?

Itโ€™s a very difficult equation for the AFL. They have the following to consider.

1./ When is the best time to maximise interference with other sports codes. After the 1st ball of the boxing day test is the latest idea.ย 

2./ How do we maximise the length of time we can drip feed the information.

3./ How do we most successfully hide the mammoth inequalities of a rigged draw favouring the biggest clubs.ย 

4./ How long will it take Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and Richmond to get bk to approve ย the exact amount of advantage weโ€™ve given them.ย 

ย 

So we get North Melbourne and Hawthorn twice - massive win. Both likely to finish bottom 4. Can't see how either can pull anything out to prevent that.

We also have Brisbane Lions, Richmond, Sydney and Carlton twice too. Likely to all be top 8 sides, maybe even top 6. That's relatively though.

Slightly better run home too in our last 5 games than this year - (r.20) Richmond), (r.21) North, (r.22) Carlton, (r.23) Hawthorn, (r.24) Sydney. The last the only potentially troubling road trip.


Am I right in thinking it looks a touch more forgiving than last season?

Us not playing West Coast at the MCG is rapidly closing in on the 6000+ days Essendon has gone without a finals win.ย 

So, home games that will make us money:-ย 

ย 

rd 1 vs WBD

rd 6 vs Richmond (Anzac Eve)

Rd 12 vs Carlton (Friday Night)

Rd 13 vs Collingwood (Kingโ€™s Birthday)

Rd 23 vs Hawthorn *ย 

ย 

The rest of our MCG home games are against interstate sides. We can probably expect to make a bit from the Sydney and Brisbane games. Not much from the others.ย 
ย 

Itโ€™s a bit meh, and getting Geelong down there was inevitableโ€ฆ

the sides we draw twice seem fair, given where we finished the season

1 more interstate game than last year? Is that right?ย 

ย 


Geelong did well.ย 
hashtag no surprise.ย 
We get the pleasure of playing them at that [censored]-hole on a Thursday night again. Yay!

At least we haven't done that very often lately.ย 

Geelong in geelongย 

West coast in Perth.ย 

North in tassie.

Round 24: Sydney in Sydney ๐Ÿคฌ

Of all interstate games we could have gotten, itโ€™s probably the best result. I expect Sydney to be below what they were in 2022. Plus, itโ€™s a short flight and played on a small ground

Six of our last eight games are in Melbourne I believe which is excellent.ย 
ย 

A complete contrast to this yearโ€™s disaster of Adelaide-Geelong-Alice-Docklands-Perth in the second half of the year.

Edited by Bring-Back-Powell


Itโ€™s an awesome fixture for us financially and who we play.

ignore geelong in geelong which was always gonna happen.

13 games at the g is one more than itโ€™s been for the past few years.

Double ups against north and hawthorn are a huge win.

Double ups against Richmond Carlton will give us greater crowd averages

big run of games at the g at the end of the year is great too.

Financially we only make coin off home games. Whilst you note that the crowd averages for the double ups against Richmond and Carlton will be good, that adds nothing to the bottom line. Very few money making games against Victorian clubs, which is the same as it has been for the past few seasons

Sorry WCW, but I'm actually so happy to finally have a game in Sydney since I'm NSW based!ย  It means at least one guaranteed game I'll see in person ๐Ÿ˜Š

I live here so itโ€™s a win for family, especially after no Sydney game last year.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
