Round 24 times still not out despite it being only 18 days away. Good luck trying to plan a trip up to Sydney within that timeframe.

Given Sydney are becoming more relevant by the week, I think we can almost rule out the Saturday afternoon time slot which is increasingly becoming the time slot for dud games.

Saturday night or Sunday the most likely. We play Sunday and Sydney play the Saturday the prior week.

    utterly ridiculous that its less than 3 weeks to the last round and we dont have a fixture. 
    it should have been out in november last year, but 3 weeks is completely unacceptable.

    Sydney and Melbourne both believe that their game will either be Saturday afternoon or evening.

    Great, so another 6 day break plus travel.

    FMD I hate the AFL.

    Hold the phone. Tommy is now saying a Sunday Afternoon game is a lock.

     

    Oooh that would be ideal. Mainly because I’ll be able to watch it up in QLD while I drink a cocktail pool side. 
    If we lose I’ll just throw myself and the laptop in the pool 😂

    I have a family function on the Saturday night so I will not be able to watch a minute if it is on then. Sunday is perfect for me as I can watch in peace and quiet whilst nursing a hangover.

    Sunday 3:20pm vs Sydney. Probs originally planned for the Buddy Show on Saturday night but since his retirement was immediate, now it’ll probably just be a pre-match send-off with all the pomp and pageantry it deserves. We’ll still rain on their parade, though. ❤️💙

    We should be on the Saturday since a top 4 team 

    Doesn't really matter with a week off between finals.

    I prefer a 7 day break between round 23 and round 24 and I think so would the club. 

    Chances are we finish 2nd or 3rd and therefore got the Saturday night game in week 1 of finals, with 1 v 4 generally the Friday night?

    Also gets us FTA exposure again. 

    Sat arvo has become the AFL’s graveyard slot. Sunday arvo is now more prestigious. Collingwood played a stack of Sunday games earlier this year.

    I don't think people want Saturday afternoon anymore.

    Kids sports, work etc. Sunday afternoon is a better timeslot for families IMO.

    Good result given we've avoided a 6 day break and the club gets some more FTA exposure.

    Now that the date has been announced, anyone have an idea when tickets will go on sale, or if the club has an allocation that they have available to on sell?

     

    EDIT - tickets go on sale Tue Aug 15.

    Congratulations to the AFL for managing to organise 9 games with only 2 weeks left before the round is played.

    Thank goodness they did not screw us in the process and give us a short break AND travel all in one. It pays to be a good side!

    Really? My son's junior football is on Sunday, and the older teams are playing after lunch.

    I'd much rather Saturday afternoon games, especially when you don't get home until after 7pm on a Sunday night after a 3:20 game.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
