Is there something I have missed? 2 games at Optus but 3 long haul flights surely it's 4?

The 3 'flights' were the two trips to Optus and one trip to Alice.

If counting the actual flights yes there are 4 involving Optus plus 2 involving Alice a total of 6..

Mal, if you have the time   I do like the Training Reports,   2024  starts today with pre season training and then the draft.

Cheers mate.

Hey, WCW, is there any way of getting this version of the Dees Fixture without the red highlighting?  Would be very grateful if you can provide.  many thanks!

 

Our round 24 home game V Collingwood could get 80,000 if top 2/top 4/top 6/top 8 spots are at stake for both sides. A good result considering we miss out on the gate for Kings Birthday next year. 

And it could potentially be our only Friday night game in Melbourne next year.

I suspect we'll play Brisbane on Friday night at the Gabba in round 16 and possibly against the Dogs in round 21 at Marvel as there has to be a Friday night game at Marvel that weekend.

I’ve asked my Demon Army bestie who created this and I’m just waiting to hear back from her. If she can provide it I’ll post it here.

 

And here ‘tis…

She’s guessing our replacement home game will be either round nine or round 15. More likely round 15 since that’s vs North as opposed to round nine which is vs Carlton.

WCW, please tell your friend she is the BEST!!  Finding a nice, single line per game fixture is virtually impossible to find these days.  I usually have to make my own.  This saves a LOT of work!!  Cheers!

 


Collingwood's fixture in terms of their five interstate games....one being hawks in Tassie and another gold coast is a joke.

No wonder they won a flag.

Protected species is the dirty magpie.

I don’t hate Thursday night games. Admittedly I have no children, and work for myself and set my own schedule, so I’m onboard if they play games on Wednesday mornings. I’ll still go.

Work is for suckers.

I wish we had Monday night games.

Why are those 2 games a joke? 
All clubs have those games . 
Admittedly some haven’t had an AFL game at Launceston. Us btw.

It's because they only have five interstate games. Two of those are easy ones. Only one trip to Optus and no game in Adelaide other than Gather which all clubs have.

We visit Adelaide twice admittedly one for Gather ( but it's a S.A. team) and Optus twice.

Hawks at U TAS are not a joke ! Their record is  about 75% win and taken an MCG game off them. 
Gold Coast they beat by 3 pts at Carrara. 

Appear both to be danger games to me not a joke Beever.  Only easy one is West Coast.

Your right. But the issue for me is the longer travel with ours and also larger parochial crowds.

I don't really consider playing Hawks in Tassie is an interstate game as it's against a Vic team.

Nightmare of a fixture for interstate members looking to attend games at the G in the first 12 rounds. Would love to attend the Lions / Carlton games but having recently changed companies going to be tough to take two days off. Looks like Geelong is the pick of the bunch, luckily already got good seats to our first game.

The first 8 weeks is brutal in terms of difficult interstate trips and difficult sides at the MCG.

It is, but I think we can win our first 3, losing our next 3 would be a disaster. The short break between Port and the Crows is going to be tough. I’d take a win against Port, with potentially a few rotations against the Crows. Lions will be massive, up until the finals of 2022 we owned them for a few years, regardless of where we played them. I’d be very disappointed if we can’t get over Richmond and Geelong.

Richmond will be interesting under Yze but I agree they are in clear rebuilding mode and we should really account for them easily.

Going to Brisbane to see Radio Birdman on either June 28 or 29 and by magic MFC play the Lions the same weekend. Hoping the game is Thursday or Friday as going to Birdman on Saturday. 

Please AFL make the game not be Saturday. God only knows how many weeks in advance Round 16 onwards will be announced.

Mods feel free to move or merge as you see fit.

Bummer. The fixture is set up to and including Round 15. You missed out by one week. I asked a couple of people who have a better idea than most and they said that we likely won’t know date/time until about Round 10 which is in mid May.

PS Say aloha to Steve and Danno from me! 😁

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
