2024 Fixture

Well prepare to be disappointed.

That, one away game with Essendon and an interstate game in the last round are MFC fixture locks every year. Personally I'm hoping for less night games yes good for club exposure etc but I hate attending them other than Anzac eve and finals.

    I'd like a fixture that is level to the average AFL fixture for a change.

    - Stop giving us Geelong trips

    - Stop giving us 10 day breaks when we should get a proper bye

    - No Thursday night games in Melbourne (wishful thinking)

    Nothing surer than 

    1- we play Geelong once in Geelong 

    2- we play West Coast once in Perth

    3- we play Essendon as the away team 

    4- we get to play an SA team during gather round 

    5- we get multiple 6 day breaks in a row 

    6- we get back to back interstate trips

    Yes biggestred - Pies, Richmond, Essendon, Hawks, Blues, GCS, GWS, Swans & WCE to play at Geelong for the next 20 years, North to play at Alice (they need the cash). I want 15 games at the G, 2 at Marvel and 6 Interstate games for a change.!!!

    Honestly i just think teams should alternate where they play, home and away.

    Dont forget ....

    Norff in Tassie

    No mid season bye ( usually about 9 days for us)   13-15 days for other clubs.

    Lions at the Gabba

    MFC surrender a home game to NT

    I think ive covered everything

    oh wait !

    interstate game prior to Gather round.

    Lots of travel early in season to unsettle our team.

    I think thats it.

    I’d be happy to have the entire fixture revealed at once. The floating fixture isn’t necessary post-Covid.

    You have my vote. Booking the Alice game this year was a nightmare

    Time to drop Alice...

    Used to like it but no more

    I live in fear of being GCS' bunny in Darwin.

    Bulldogs lost to GCS this year and lost the following week in Melbourne

    Bulldogs also got an SA team in Gather Round (and lost)

    It really should be,  play each team once, alternate home and away each year. Especially once Tasmania come in. Will never happen but each game would attract more interest and be a fairer competition

    This.

    If they are happy to have a season go on a month longer than it should and have all these dead rubber games then show some guts and be prepared to have some of these crud games on a  Friday night.

    a soft run into September

    And seeing as we'll be scheduled to play there let's try and win in Mordor. we've dished up a lot of ordinary performances down there.

    We've finished 6th so we are still in the top bracket for fixturing which means we will get 2 or 3 of the top 5 twice.

    My expectations are Collingwood, Brisbane and Carlton twice from the top bracket, Geelong and Adelaide from the middle bracket and North or Gold coast twice.

    We will get Geelong twice so they can send us down the highway and get a game at the G against them.

    Port on the Thursday night of Gather round and potentially West Coast in the Alice to ensure we never get them at the G.

    13 games at the G (3 aways being Richmond, Collingwood and Carlton), 1 at Marvel and 1 in Geelong for our 15 Vic games.

    Wishful thinking that we wont get Geelong at their grotty little pub ground.

    Of course, but that would be fair and equitable, so no way will AFL have that.

    You forgot our mandatory annual Geelong trip.

    Things I’d like to see:

    1. No trip to Geelong or, in the alternative, Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond or Hawthorn also going down there

    2. A proper bye - no more Thursday night game after KB

    3. More travel pre-bye than post-bye

    4. A few more afternoon games

    5. West Coast in Melbourne

    6. Port Adelaide in Melbourne

    I expect we may get some of these but not all.

    I also expect to see a tonne of Collingwood and Carlton in prime time, and too many Thursday night games.

    I don’t hate Thursday night games. Admittedly I have no children, and work for myself and set my own schedule, so I’m onboard if they play games on Wednesday mornings. I’ll still go.

    Work is for suckers.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
