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

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
