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.

Cool. Now you can sleep easy at night knowing you won the case. That is, you’ll take credit for winning when it was your research assistant, @TheWiz who did the work. 😉

MEL ASP 2h 50m

MEL PER 4h 10m

So my Demon Army BFF made this amazing fixture featuring our 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! 😁

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
