i think the other thing is that it says we are now a 'big club' to be placed in showcase games

So no more Geelong games? 🙄

    Becoming a 'big club' won't necessarily see us avoid trips down to KP. We'll still need to become bigger than at least some of the existing 'big' Victorian clubs and push them down the pecking order. 

    You can probably guarantee that each of Footscray, North and St Kilda will be playing down there for the foreseeable future. Then there's us. Now that Carlton are up and about again we should probably be setting our sights on overtaking Hawthorn. A win for us would be Geelong choosing to host their Easter Monday game at KP every second year with their new increased capacity.

    Query:

    is there a list/table anywhere online that summarises the longest streaks of ‘unfair’ / biased game schedules?

    eg Dees at Kardinia Park

    should we start a thread listing them? (An off season project perhaps).

    Maybe by spreading the word on these lopsided fixtures we can point out their absurdity and effect change.

    Geelong have a 9/2 split of GMHBA to MCG games. I reckon a Carlton, Richmond, Essendon or Hawthorn may draw the short straw next year to the 40,000 seat stadium given Collingwood simply won’t he fixtured there.

    Next year Hawthorn are hosting Geelong at the G on Easter Monday. There is no rule that states that Geelong can’t host Hawthorn at GMHBA in the return game should they meet twice.

    There was a list on some thread earlier in the year and we were clearly the team to travel there most, by a fair margin.   I think it was Collingwood and maybe Carlton / Richmond who went only once in 20+ years.  I am sure some tech guru can find it somewhere.

    Will likely strike out on most of those. Maybe Essendonx2 but we did bomb out in the finals again.

    Id play dees against that lot in R1 not the Bulldogs.

    Will Melb get a rest from playing at the Gabba and Norff in Tas.? Wishful thinking.

    We are always in the wings when the fixture needs to be plugged somewhere. Same old venues and travel every year.

    Honestly would rather play one of the two SA teams than another Victorian side there 

    At least we can just treat it like another away game instead of the debacle that was the West Coast into Essendon game last year where we went Melb-Perth-Melb-Adelaide within a week

    Brace for impact. This could be the start of a shocking fixture.

    What are the odds we play on Saturday or Fridaythe week before and only get 4or 5 days off.

    Why isnt reigning premiers Collingwood playing Adelaide in this so called blockbuster round?

    Stupid question.

    Not ideal that us and Essendon are the only genuine away teams in Gather Round. 

    However Carlton and Dogs drew the short straw last year and another two clubs will draw the short straw in 2025.

    And it’s not as if playing a neutral game against Essendon last year did us any favours as we put in our softest performance of the year that day. We might come in with a different mindset knowing the challenge ahead of playing Adelaide at AO.

    Let’s wait and see what it all looks like. 

    Could be good if it counts as one of our away games. Plus it’s a more “normal” match up than getting a Vic side.

    But more likely is in addition to the rest of our fixture and will mean an extra away game compared to most of our rivals.

    That was on the club and/or the players for coming home after our Perth game and then flying back to Adelaide the following week, rather then spending the week in Adelaide to reduce travel stress.

    The Dogs spent an entire week in Perth after Gather round to reduce travel and ended up putting in one of their best performances of the year against Freo at Optus.

    Hopefully lessons are learnt if we’re back to back travelling before or after Gather Round.

    The fixture snag I really want the Dees to avoid is GC in Darwin but you know that will be inevitable.

    Not sure its been mentioned but one of our major sponsor Jaguar will no longer be continuing in 2024.

    I've just been told this from a contact who has input in the manufacturering of our guernseys.

    Hertz will take on the back of the gurnsey major sponsorship.

    Club looking for Short sponsorship to replace Hertz.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
