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.

Some thoughts: 2023 is the 8th consecutive year we've played West Coast in Perth. We haven't played them in Melbourne since 2014 We haven't played Essendon twice in a season since 2005

Meh.  Anybody, anywhere, anytime. I'm particularly looking forward to our 2.30pm timeslot on Saturday 30th September.

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. ❤️💙

Is this 100% confirmed?

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
