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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
