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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
