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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
