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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
