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.

    Corrected my maths.

    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 ?

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
