carlton look set to have 10 night games?!??

About time for an investigation into the AFL fixturing department to see what clubs they support and find any evidence of brown paper bags or "gifts" received from long lost relatives

It's not the only thing I read ds. And yes it explains a lot.

If true look at the upside which goes something like this.

Each new season at least 2 new teams finish in the 8. Logic says one in 2023 will be the Blues.

BUT, if they fail, it will be there to see in all its glory and the anti-Voss chatter commencing in the public glare.

I'd like to see that!

I like the idea but they'd have their behinds covered most likely. Only brown paper bags you'd find would be their lunch.

I just wish theyd release the entire thing instead of 15 rounds and 9 floating. [censored]

 

 

I thought they were binning the floating fixture?

How do you make money from such a stupid idea?

They make money by having an extra round in the season, be it magic or stupid (I vote stupid) while 86-ing a pre-season practice match. Practice matches don’t make any money.

Seems they’re weaning us off it. Currently the plan is to go back to the old way of announcing the entire fixture at once for season 2024 but let’s not hold our collective breath.

Oh of course. Just being silly, plus I had this in my head for some reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw31Ch9ucsE. This time of year is even less of an articulate time for Layzie on DL.

But yeah, they will make plenty of money. 

 

 

 

FFS, might as well release the rounds every Thursday night along with team selection.

Layzie is never inarticulate! Nor silly. Especially when he has anything SpongeBob related in his head. For SpongeBob holds all of life’s secrets. 😊

 BTW, why are we referring to you in the third person??? 🤔

Wow, I always thought Layzie was female ( not a sexist comment )

Great that we go there but it is a shame it won't be during Indigenous Round.

GWS. A nice change to not be playing a team from WA or SA that usually has a strong following in NT.  Will give us an opportunity to embed our identity and the Demon Spirit as the  AFL team to support.

So we know 4 of the first 16 rounds.

Round 1 - Bulldogs, Saturday night, MCG (Home game)

April 24 - Richmond, Monday night, MCG (Home game)

June 12 - Collingwood, Monday afternoon, MCG (Home game)

Round 16 - GWS, Time TBA, Alice  (Home game)

On that basis we may be doing a bit of travelling in the second half of the season again.☹️ as there will be at least another 5 interstate games to fit in.

Hopefully, those last three games don't compromise getting a decent break between games or a full bye round break.

Something is holding up the 'Gather' Round 6 fixture which was scheduled for release on Tuesday.  I wonder if is clubs squabbling over whose Home game it will be?  And whether it is compensated somewhere else?  Or stuff like that.

I wouldn't mind playing one of the WA teams that round in SA.  One less long haul trip.  At least two Eastern states will get that advantage so hope it is us.

They could bring back the Footy Show or League teams!

Yes, but you can bet it wont be us. The big players will be lobbying for that.

I'm hoping we play our away game against the Cats there. We will probably play our Home game against Freo or the Lions.

Not sure about the travel in the second half of the season, as the Rounds are 1, 6, 13 and 16. My guess is we will play Freo at Optus in Round 2.

I didn't mean all the i/state games will be in the 2nd half. 

Usually we get the bye after the KB game round 13.  Three or Four 1/state games in the last 9/10 rounds plus Alice could give us a nasty schedule again.

Geez I wonder if we will have a run of MCG games in the first half of the year and then have a tough run towards the end of the year?  

not complaining as such, its just bizarre how our fixture always has the same feel

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
