I’m waiting for the AFL to come out and say

”whoa, we made a mistake, the Richmond and Hawthorn games at Taxpayer park are actually meant to be a Melbourne home game and a Melbourne away game.”

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    6 of the first 14 are monster TV games.

    0 - the first game of the year!

    4 - gather round kick off

    5 - Thurs v Bris

    7 - ANZAC eve

    9  - Thurs v Carl

    13 - Kings BDAY 

    Plus the Cats, Saints and maybe Port game on free to air. 

    Im not sure there will be a team more watched on tv than us in the first 15 weeks. That has to be of huge value to our sponsors.

    To only get Dogs, Cats and Saints in the first half of the year is light on for attendances, but the years where we have away games for our blockbusters will probably look like that more often than not. 

    Maybe we revenue share the Pies game when we have 2? And/or have some kind of split with Richmond. 

    It certainly would make more sense to split the 2 blockbusters to one home, one away. 

    of those you highlighted, ONE is a home game, and it's against an interstate side

    from a football pov, i think it's a decent draw

    all i care about is finishing top 4 again tbh

    Surprised. Pretty much a 50/50 result. Thats fine. Other sides seem to get red carpet service.Whats this deal with Stkilda and Ess? ffs.

    Theyre junk anyway who cares.  MFC Top 4 chance again.

    Best result.  No Cattery or Tasmania. Pleasantly shocked.

    Loads of interstate travel as usual.

    Not many marquee games. Why arent we playing bluebaggers x2.

    Playing stupid irrelevant Port twice.

    Melb/blues was a big drawcard in '23.

    Shoutout to Pres. Kate.
    At our W match vs Brisbane 12 days ago she told the DA she was pushing really hard for no trip to Mordor next year. She said she can almost guarantee she gets it. And she did. ⭐️ 

    You attacked my post several weeks ago about MFC not lobbying the AFL re the Cattery and Tasmania  absurdity.

    You said lobbying is nonesense or something like that.

    Now youre delighted Kate Rofey lobbied the AFL against going to Mordor and succeeded.

    I told you. LOL.

    Can she push really hard for Collingwood to play down there next year?

    So what’s our plan for the 5 day break in Adelaide?

    Surely we have to stay over and make it a camp situation.

    Anyone care to announce themselves as South Australians and make a suggestion of where we will stay, train and what we will do?

    Darwin

    Alice 

    Perth x2

    Adelaide x 2

    Brisbane

     

    seems like a heck of a lot of travel 

    8 out of 24 isn't a lot.  And the two Adelaide games you would think they stay there so will only be 7 trips.

    Yup SA lad here, I'd say they will train at Norwood oval.  We have a fair few SA boys in our squad so they will get around them.  Maybe do a simmilar thing to what Petracca did with Kossie last yr.

    Maybe go to Petty's farm and suck up to his olds 😜

    Great draw. If we perform we have a real opportunity for a top 4 finish.

    Sure others have better, but who cares. Most of the time an easy draw is a hubris trap and you’re not competing against the teams you’ll be playing in finals!

    and a golf course

    Yeah nah don’t remember saying lobbying is nonsense, nor did I attack your post… that’s your caper, not mine.

    Of course I’m delighted Kate pushed for no trip to that depressing hell-scape, and for succeeding. I found out this evening at banner that she also pushed to get us a proper bye, and again succeeded.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
