Fitzroy never go there!!!

Blues, Pies and Dons what a bloody joke Bombers have been [censored] since 2005 they should be playing down at the Cattery 1:00 pm Sundays. Blues the same. These numbers show us that there is no integrity in AFL.!!!!!!!!!

    There hasn’t been any for a long long time. AFL HQ doesn’t care about integrity, it only cares about generating $$$

    Those numbers are for Victoria only right? Pretty sure WCE, Adel etc get every game on FTA in their home state.

    Think our fixture looks terrible. We have a bad opening to the season and a difficult run home.

    I haven't researched this so could be wrong but I think we're 3-20 and a draw since 1990.

    Absolutely deplorable by both our club and for the AFL for continually sending us down there.

    Our real, and immediate goal should be to make our own home ground a win for us!

    So we are moving interstate? We seem to play better away from the G.

    LSomeone has to go there and as a low drawing club it fall to us amongst other low drawers or interstate teams to go there. No surprise it that. When we draw like the pies and tigers we won't go there. What the AFL should demand of the cats is that 20% of the seats be reserved for visiting teams.

    One of the key items on the 2023 agenda  is to fix our MCG performances.

    I believe we won just 2 of our last 8 MCG games for the year.

    I got a ticket for the Dees/Dons and Port/WB double header - for free.

    Seems a bit too good to be true - 2 games for $NIL??

     

    Are you sure you weren't on the Russian booking site?

    You'd have to assume that it is Victorian Free to Air.

    I'm not sure they even know AFL exists in Sydney.

    I'm not sure people in Sydney are aware they can attend live sport. Sydney demonlanders the exception.

    It's true!  Although one time I was walking home (live nearish to the SCG) after the Richmond v Syd game...

    There were 2 Richmond supporters smiling and laughing so I asked them who won.  Turns out the Swans, but you would not know it from the Sydney supporters. The pack of 40 or so all looked so sour I assumed they had lost.  Guess even though they watched the game in person, their hearts weren't in it?

    I'm glad that at least we've got the Hawthorn double-up.  Rd 9 when the wheels should be starting to fall off and Rd 23, when they should be in full on tank mode and we're kicking into beast mode.

    The MFC owes Hawthorn so much for the past 30 or so years that I'd love to see us give them an absolute thrashing both times, but knowing how Goodwin works, we'll probably just cruise and bank the 4 points with comfortable 30 point wins that leave Hawthorn supporters thinking "they're not that good, we could have won that game" ...kinda what they did to us for alot of the last 10 years when they didn't put us away properly by half time.

    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.

    Ok, who cares? Does the above mean that they have the back-end or second half of the season charitably committed to a higher than normal fixture held at their home ground? We knew it would come some way, to their very great benefit.

    • 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.
