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.

    Being a diehard Storm fan she also made one with Storm games only…

    Then because she’s an Excel Grandmaster and a bona fide numbers nerd she combined them coz why not? 😃

    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! 😁

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
