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.

    [censored] off

    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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
