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.

Being a diehard Storm fan she also made one with Storm games only…

Then because she’s an Excel Grandmaster and a bona fide numbers nerd she combined them coz why not? 😃

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.

    CATCH EM ON THE HOP by Meggs

    A sunny Sunday afternoon feast of finals footy awaits at our team’s favourite home ground, Ikon Park.  Great vibes at Princes Park where we remain undefeated from 7 matches and counting. Expect the Dees to come out strongly, sparring and outmuscling the Kangaroos in the middle.  With Paxy back firing and our gun forwards mesmerising, hopefully we catch ‘em on the hop. Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have filled ten of the twelve Grand Final spots in AFLW history, and this dominance

    COLD AGGRESSION by Meggs

    “Cold aggression”, Lions star full forward Dakota Davidson called it. Brisbane outmuscled, outran, and ultimately overwhelmed us. They certainly came to play and exorcised their 2022 grand final grudge defeating the Demons in the rematch by 25 points. Stats count and Brisbane won the key ones. Inside 50s 42 to 24, centre clearances 8 to 6, uncontested possessions 133 to 75 and 51 marks to 27. The Lions’ sustained pressure is the kind we usually bring for other teams.   There

    HOME PRIZE by Meggs

    Big stakes this weekend. For the winner, will it be a Dees minor premiership and potential home grand final or will it be a Lion‘s Top Four finish and a double chance?    Huge interest circulates in the how the ladder unfolds over this weekend’s final round of the 2023 home and away season with some 10 teams vying for 8 places.     It’s AFLW Pride Week, a celebration of people from all walks of life coming together, being respected, loved and accepted.

    WICKED WIND by Meggs

    Hang out to your hats. The strong blustery conditions made it extremely difficult for either team to execute footy skills but nonetheless an entertaining match ensured for those brave enough to venture down to Casey Fields on Saturday. Impressive Irish player Aine Tighe was a late withdrawal for Freo. Maddie Gay was also a late change, and she was replaced with 19 year-old Georgia Gall, the 6-foot ex Melbourne Stars BBL cricketer who has been impressing the coaches in scrimmage games.
