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.

That would be nice, like in the old days.!!

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.

Agree 1000%


Pies and Blues will get 18 Friday games between them.

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.

 

 

Just watch them favor the filth in next years draw.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
