I thought the whole fixture will be released but without day/time for Round 16-24.

That's exactly what's happening.

    Have I missed something? What's this 'round zero'? Thanks in advance.

    It's an amazing concept whereby, unless in the case of draw(s), 4 sides will be zero & one after zero.

    The advantage of round zero is Carlton and Collingwood could potentially be 0-2 before the Saturday of round 1.

    Bit of a “C” tax going on there

    Carlton 

    Collingwood

    You could also throw Richmond in there,

    I’ve been known to also call them something that starts with the letter “c”

    You know who’s p****ed off with our round zero fixture? The NSW Demons. They’re unhappy because a Thursday night match means no pre-match function, (the one they had before our round 24 match was a success). Besides that, the little Demons supporters won’t be able to watch our players train the day before because of school, let alone the match, because again, school on Friday. This sucks for the NSW Demons who are as proud and passionate as the rest of us but don’t get to watch us live very often.  😕

    [censored] ! Do I get this? We have "Opening round", then we have round 1?

    The [censored] AFL just gets [censored] sillier year by [censored] year!

    We all just want to see some games of footy dealt out as equitably as the equation allows.... surely?

    The AFL have made obfuscation an art form.

    The two MFC games released are both interstate........of course.

    Add on NT and likely Norff in Tasmania that makes for maybe 8 or 9 interstate games.  This draw could get ugly tomorrow.

    It’s so disappointing that all our fans seem to do is complain about the fixture on here.

    when we were getting Saturday and Sunday games in the arvo or twighligjt all people would do is cry for more Friday night exposure.

    Now that we get Thursday/Fridays/opening games/ multiple public holidays, all people seem to do is complain.

    We should be happy our team has success and is put in prime time slots. We should not be finding excuses to not watch the team we’ve all waited for decades to become good. 
     

    Bring on March 7.

    Spot on. Since the flag we've played with the red ball just twice at the G. Once against St Kilda in 2022 and once against Freo in 2023.

    I'd like to see more Saturday afternoon and early Sunday afternoon games at he G to add variety to the schedule. However Saturday afternoon footy seems to be reserved for the also rans if the second half of last season was a guide.

    I'd also like to see us play at Marvel more than once, at the expense of 1 or 2 less interstate trips. I figure we won't get more than 13 MCG games like last year.

     

    As we grow we deserve the spoils awarded to other Clubs. What do these family friendly games involve ?

    Big gaps in the crowd so kids can wander safely or families spread out over spare seats beside their bags etc. 

    Let's  not go back to early Sat or Sun games with 20,000 fans and no atmosphere. 

    We are bigger than that and deserve all the financial and other advantages while we have our premiership window open and opportunities akin to our place in the sun, which ironically means more prime and night games.

    Part of supporting a Club is adapting to the conditions handed to you. Yes it's always a bummer when some groups have to think on the run but that's life. 

    The progressive groups find a way and move on learning from it for the next time. Worry about the things under your control and we don't control the draw and would be laughed out at if we used these reasons to want to give up prime time and free to air advertising in our draw requested. 

    It's called progress and that's what our Club has been developing for the last decade. Opportunities will open and let's take them when they arise.

    Really what a negative Nellie you are Debauched. 
    When we go to NT it is OUR choice and in 2023 we had 7 interstate games inc. Gather Round, Geelong and Saints at Marvel.

    13 MCG games with away Tigers Blues and Hawks fixtures. 

    2024  May be the same but you have only heard a small portion of the Draw but launch Into criticism prematurely and negatively like a child bring refused lollies before dinner. 

    The MFC have gad their chance to request options in the draw so wait and see about how their wishes have been responded to.

    What time is this fixture meant to be released ? 

    3.30 according to Sam Edmund on SEN this morning.

    Am I missing something?

    Four games in the opening round only? No games on Sunday?

    I suppose it gives the non-playing teams an opportunity to "manage" their players after a torrid pre-season. I'm sure they appreciate the gift. 🙄

    Haven’t read this whole thread so apologies if I’m repeating. We get a 10 day break between opening round and round 1 so that’s handy. We also get an extra bye thrown in in the first 7 weeks somewhere…reckon that’s handy in a long season too. We also get the massive publicity of being the first game of the season. Surely this a decent win fr the club!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
