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: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
