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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • 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?
