    So Ess bblessed with no 5-day break between games for the whole season🙄.

    Hope they crash and burn. 

    It would be fun if they lost their first final! 🤣

    You are assuming they will make finals?  Easy draw but hard run in.  They are so overrated.  They were 5th last year and missed out.  They will fall for sure, despite having 3 easy games coming up

    And we can watch their demise in prime time which is all the sweeter!

    Going off round 23, I reckon our game in round 24 vs Pies will be Friday or Saturday night.

    If they don't make finals it will be even more fun than them not winning one.  🤣

    The AFL might decided to bring a cheeky Thursday night in to punish us one final time before finals.

    Oh. Nevermind. Just realised that Collingwood play after us (Saturday night) in Round 23 and the AFL would never do that to Collingwood. I guess we can thank Eddie for that.

    The first thing I looked at was when Collingwood play in round 23. I knew the AFL wouldn’t care about screwing us with a short break after an interstate trip. But precious Collingwood would never. 
     

    Ours is arguably the match of the round, depending on how a few other current top 8 sides go.

    Hopefully help getting a shorts sponsor with that schedule. 
    Here’s hoping Essendon lose their last eight games to miss finals.

    We only play one WA game in July. We play West Coast in Perth this week. The second West Coast game in July is at the MCG.

    Even if it was, 6 day breaks are normal. These are elite athletes we're talking about.

    Geelong play Sydney on a Sunday afternoon in June, then Carlton the following Friday.

    St Kilda have played at 7 venues in 9 rounds. By round 14 they will have played at 9 different venues.

    It happens to everyone.

    Our fixture early in the season was unfair, yes, but our upcoming fixture is fantastic and completely normal.

    Can’t wait to get roasted when we draw “disappointing Crowds” against GWS and Port on Saturday nights which are dreadful for drawing big crowds.

    Massive bonus to have the Suns game as a day game and avoid the dewy slippery games we normally have up there.

    So this year the club's bean counters and sponsors department will be happy with relation to genuine marquee timeslots:

    3 Friday night games (including Collingwood in round 24*)

    4 Thursday night games

    1 Anzac Eve

    1 Kings B'day

    (*going the early crow with round 24)

    On the flip side, it's bit of a shame we only have 2 genuine "red ball" day games in Melbourne this year. How times have changed.

    Yeah that second last point is pretty poor form.

    Agree. Proof reader needed...we've found a top candidate.

    There would have to be a complete change of all Field Umpiring Personnel.

    My bad. Just the Freo one then.

    I'll have to find something else to whinge about then. 😬

    Even allowing for the Round 24 game, only 2 of those 9 games are our home game (Brisbane in Round 5 the other one).

    Somewhat disappointing for the bean counters.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
