It’s a much better fixture than last year but FFS Geelong in Geelong. How do we agree to this BS every year????

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

    No need to look at a fixture to know that.

    We are doomed to play there every year forever.

    We have avoided Kardinia Park once or twice in the last 30 years.

    Now that we have a much larger membership, the excuse for it is long gone.

    Not counting Covid year - that's 7 out of 8 seasons and 13 from 15. 

    Enough already!

    Seriously any chance we could play West coast on our ground?

    Thank goodness we only play Essendon & Collingwood once. 

    The first four weeks are tough.

    At least we have some afternoon games

    North in tassie.

    Yep

    probably pouring rain and howling winds turns an easy game into a low scoring slog.

    Why not under the roof at Docklands

    Don't mind the Tassie game. Already decided to turn it into a holiday.

    AFL membership is now great value, with 9 games interstate or at Geelong. So probably restricted to 13 games at most.

    That is the most interstate games I can recall, plus the dump in Geelong.

    Honestly I thought once we won the premiership wed never have to go down to Geelong again. I'm guessing we are always destined to play there. 

    Well we should at least be able to play them on our ground later on.

    Yet again we only get 'half' a bye. R13 Collingwood on June 12, R14 BYE, R15 Geelong Thur June 22.  Just 10 days like last year.

    Why?

    Most are complaining about the announcement "colliding with" the Socceroos!!

    Really in fact the AFL had arranged the Round1 announcement  clearly before the FIFA game occurred and is committed to two further dates this week to complete up to Round15 by Thursday. What did  the complainants do  while the soccer game was on? Presumably most were at home watching somewhere and had access to a phone or newspaper with a casual glance sufficient at first and in-depth read after the game.

    If fans can't separate 2 items in their life like earlier today I hate to visualise the mess their diaries are in.

    For the record we play Western Bulldogs on SAT 18 March 2023 at the MCG a Home Game at 7.25pm. 

    Now all of us can go back to our tapes of Tracey Grimshaw's last show oh No I just realised I taped over it with the last race from Dapto Dogs on that night. Life is just so complicated with all these modern devices  like recorders and iPhones!! No wonder they say we men can't do 2 things at once!!! 

    Just get there in Round1 folks when we spoil Bevo's extended contract news and enable Hunter and Schache and Brodie to play freely in their first games for their new Club. Wonder if their recycled No3 ( Cody W ) is still ducking his head? 

    I used to be able to do two things at once all the time.In fact that was the only way it could be done

    Rab are you going?  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. 

    Hey OD. Yeah, I went last year. Stayed overnight in North Adelaide and had a great time. My only previous time was the first year the Crows came into the competition at Football Park. I normally go interstate once a year and next season it will be Hobart again which is my favourite of them all. Nothing better than a crisp, sunny weekend down there for the football.

    Looks to be out? Round 15 at GMHBA.

    Doubles v Brisbane, Richmond, Sydney,  North, Hawthorn and Carlton.

    Not bad having doubles against only 3 other finalists and once only against the premier and another prlim finalist in Pies. And twice against absolute bottom 4 sides.

    Lions tiges and blues won't be happy meeting dees twice. 

    Could be worse for sure. Love the late season run home at the G

    Never been more optimistic pre season and this draw helps.

    It is not a bad draw for us but I have to whinge about Geelong. They play 4 vic clubs in Geelong and it is us, North, Dogs and yep Essenscum. Again an absolute disgrace.

    At the end of 2023 and 22 full seasons of AFL since 2000- 19 times we will have played Geelong at State Government Stadium. 21 home games to Geel in that time….the big three playing at Geel in the same period ? .- ESS 1, Carl 3 Coll 0 Ffs 🤦‍♂️

    Home games for both Anzac eve and Kings Birthday is good for the $$$ side of things.

    Happy to be at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round, a venue we play very well as well as playing a franchise in Northern Territory so we may outnumber opposition supporters.

    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

    Home games against Richmond, Collingwood, hawthorn, Carlton plus round 1 is better than we normally get. Home games against Sydney, north and Adelaide are better than the usual gws and Gold Coast

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
