I’m waiting for the AFL to come out and say

”whoa, we made a mistake, the Richmond and Hawthorn games at Taxpayer park are actually meant to be a Melbourne home game and a Melbourne away game.”

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    6 of the first 14 are monster TV games.

    0 - the first game of the year!

    4 - gather round kick off

    5 - Thurs v Bris

    7 - ANZAC eve

    9  - Thurs v Carl

    13 - Kings BDAY 

    Plus the Cats, Saints and maybe Port game on free to air. 

    Im not sure there will be a team more watched on tv than us in the first 15 weeks. That has to be of huge value to our sponsors.

    To only get Dogs, Cats and Saints in the first half of the year is light on for attendances, but the years where we have away games for our blockbusters will probably look like that more often than not. 

    Maybe we revenue share the Pies game when we have 2? And/or have some kind of split with Richmond. 

    It certainly would make more sense to split the 2 blockbusters to one home, one away. 

    of those you highlighted, ONE is a home game, and it's against an interstate side

    from a football pov, i think it's a decent draw

    all i care about is finishing top 4 again tbh

    Surprised. Pretty much a 50/50 result. Thats fine. Other sides seem to get red carpet service.Whats this deal with Stkilda and Ess? ffs.

    Theyre junk anyway who cares.  MFC Top 4 chance again.

    Best result.  No Cattery or Tasmania. Pleasantly shocked.

    Loads of interstate travel as usual.

    Not many marquee games. Why arent we playing bluebaggers x2.

    Playing stupid irrelevant Port twice.

    Melb/blues was a big drawcard in '23.

    Shoutout to Pres. Kate.
    At our W match vs Brisbane 12 days ago she told the DA she was pushing really hard for no trip to Mordor next year. She said she can almost guarantee she gets it. And she did. ⭐️ 

    You attacked my post several weeks ago about MFC not lobbying the AFL re the Cattery and Tasmania  absurdity.

    You said lobbying is nonesense or something like that.

    Now youre delighted Kate Rofey lobbied the AFL against going to Mordor and succeeded.

    I told you. LOL.

    Can she push really hard for Collingwood to play down there next year?

    So what’s our plan for the 5 day break in Adelaide?

    Surely we have to stay over and make it a camp situation.

    Anyone care to announce themselves as South Australians and make a suggestion of where we will stay, train and what we will do?

    Sydney

    Darwin

    Alice 

    Perth x2

    Adelaide x 2

    Brisbane

     

    seems like a heck of a lot of travel 

    8 out of 24 isn't a lot.  And the two Adelaide games you would think they stay there so will only be 7 trips.

    Yup SA lad here, I'd say they will train at Norwood oval.  We have a fair few SA boys in our squad so they will get around them.  Maybe do a simmilar thing to what Petracca did with Kossie last yr.

    Maybe go to Petty's farm and suck up to his olds 😜

    Great draw. If we perform we have a real opportunity for a top 4 finish.

    Sure others have better, but who cares. Most of the time an easy draw is a hubris trap and you’re not competing against the teams you’ll be playing in finals!

    and a golf course

    Yeah nah don’t remember saying lobbying is nonsense, nor did I attack your post… that’s your caper, not mine.

    Of course I’m delighted Kate pushed for no trip to that depressing hell-scape, and for succeeding. I found out this evening at banner that she also pushed to get us a proper bye, and again succeeded.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
