Have I missed something? What's this 'round zero'? Thanks in advance.

It's an amazing concept whereby, unless in the case of draw(s), 4 sides will be zero & one after zero.

The advantage of round zero is Carlton and Collingwood could potentially be 0-2 before the Saturday of round 1.

Bit of a “C” tax going on there

Carlton 

Collingwood

You could also throw Richmond in there,

I’ve been known to also call them something that starts with the letter “c”

You know who’s p****ed off with our round zero fixture? The NSW Demons. They’re unhappy because a Thursday night match means no pre-match function, (the one they had before our round 24 match was a success). Besides that, the little Demons supporters won’t be able to watch our players train the day before because of school, let alone the match, because again, school on Friday. This sucks for the NSW Demons who are as proud and passionate as the rest of us but don’t get to watch us live very often.  😕

[censored] ! Do I get this? We have "Opening round", then we have round 1?

The [censored] AFL just gets [censored] sillier year by [censored] year!

We all just want to see some games of footy dealt out as equitably as the equation allows.... surely?

The AFL have made obfuscation an art form.

It’s so disappointing that all our fans seem to do is complain about the fixture on here.

when we were getting Saturday and Sunday games in the arvo or twighligjt all people would do is cry for more Friday night exposure.

Now that we get Thursday/Fridays/opening games/ multiple public holidays, all people seem to do is complain.

We should be happy our team has success and is put in prime time slots. We should not be finding excuses to not watch the team we’ve all waited for decades to become good. 
 

Bring on March 7.

Spot on. Since the flag we've played with the red ball just twice at the G. Once against St Kilda in 2022 and once against Freo in 2023.

I'd like to see more Saturday afternoon and early Sunday afternoon games at he G to add variety to the schedule. However Saturday afternoon footy seems to be reserved for the also rans if the second half of last season was a guide.

I'd also like to see us play at Marvel more than once, at the expense of 1 or 2 less interstate trips. I figure we won't get more than 13 MCG games like last year.

 

As we grow we deserve the spoils awarded to other Clubs. What do these family friendly games involve ?

Big gaps in the crowd so kids can wander safely or families spread out over spare seats beside their bags etc. 

Let's  not go back to early Sat or Sun games with 20,000 fans and no atmosphere. 

We are bigger than that and deserve all the financial and other advantages while we have our premiership window open and opportunities akin to our place in the sun, which ironically means more prime and night games.

Yes we have earned our status rise and the right to enjoy it also.

Part of supporting a Club is adapting to the conditions handed to you. Yes it's always a bummer when some groups have to think on the run but that's life. 

The progressive groups find a way and move on learning from it for the next time. Worry about the things under your control and we don't control the draw and would be laughed out at if we used these reasons to want to give up prime time and free to air advertising in our draw requested. 

It's called progress and that's what our Club has been developing for the last decade. Opportunities will open and let's take them when they arise.

The two MFC games released are both interstate........of course.

Add on NT and likely Norff in Tasmania that makes for maybe 8 or 9 interstate games.  This draw could get ugly tomorrow.

 

 

 

Really what a negative Nellie you are Debauched. 
When we go to NT it is OUR choice and in 2023 we had 7 interstate games inc. Gather Round, Geelong and Saints at Marvel.

13 MCG games with away Tigers Blues and Hawks fixtures. 

2024  May be the same but you have only heard a small portion of the Draw but launch Into criticism prematurely and negatively like a child bring refused lollies before dinner. 

The MFC have gad their chance to request options in the draw so wait and see about how their wishes have been responded to.

Am I missing something?

Four games in the opening round only? No games on Sunday?

I suppose it gives the non-playing teams an opportunity to "manage" their players after a torrid pre-season. I'm sure they appreciate the gift. 🙄

Haven’t read this whole thread so apologies if I’m repeating. We get a 10 day break between opening round and round 1 so that’s handy. We also get an extra bye thrown in in the first 7 weeks somewhere…reckon that’s handy in a long season too. We also get the massive publicity of being the first game of the season. Surely this a decent win fr the club!

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
