    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

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
