    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.

    Both of our WA games in July are followed by a 6 day break against a top 5 side 😖

    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.

    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.

    • 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
