I hate Thursday nights. If we’re playing it’s tough enough to watch it on TV, let alone get there if it’s in Melbourne. I’m sure ratings were solid, there’s nothing else to watch, but the question IMO is whether fans like it when their own club plays on a Thursday. 

Yeah absolutely agree, I hate it for when we play.

But it's great for tv in the background at home. I am more likely to consume more football games when they are on tv Monday and Thursday nights, compared to say Sat or Sunday arvos.

My thoughts are, if the AFL is going to use Monday and Thursday then it needs to be consistent. Not selected weeks only.

Dees in the NT

The Demons will play Fremantle at TIO Traeger Park on the Sunday afternoon of round 12 (June 2).

Don't mind this as an on going fixture.

The Alice game will give us a week or so to recover for an "away" game against the pies on QB which falls on June 10 next year. I'm guessing our bye will follow that so will be interesting to see if we get screwed again by playing on the Thursday night after it.

Last I heard was that we would play our first game against the Dogs on Sat, Mar 16 and therefore we were not involved with Round Zero....

Every second day it's been reported in the media that we're playing Sydney in Sydney for round "zero" on Labor day weekend and it's being billed as the Brodie Grundy rematch. 

I'd be surprised if we're now not involved.

MFCSS actually

They could screw is more by deeming our gather round v Adelaide to be our home game 🙄😮

Technically we could play Adelaide twice at Adelaide Oval next year. One in Gather Round and one later in the year.

Richmond and GWS both "hosted" Sydney and Hawthorn respectively two times. One in Gather Round and one later in the year.

Geelong one of the teams playing the Suns in Darwin.

nice... looking forward to Collingwood making the trip in the near future.

Cannot see the older brigade of Geelong handling that trip very well.

Bulldogs lost that match last year and their follow up match in Melbourne. Together with playing an SA in Gather Round the three losses ended their season.

In a season where most games are decided by under 20 points every little bit counts

I have no problem with 1 game a year in Alice. Quite like it in fact. We have a longish history there now and a growing fan base as well. We have done some good work there of which I'm proud of the club for.

Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture and applaud the club for instigating projects like the Santa Teresa Oval Project as well other positive community work. 

Absolutely. You often see a lot of locals wearing Melbourne gear during non-Melbourne NT games. Plus the club and players like to engage with the community whilst they are there, it means a lot to them Melbourne coming back year after year.

Couldn't agree more. 

Most people I know like Thurs night footy for the TV aspect and something to do but very few of them are prepared to go to the G on a Thurs night and do the whole nine yards with transport, crowds, expenses etc.

I'm sure there are people here that are happy to go on Thurs night and the TV ratings are great but I personally don't like it. 

It’s part of the season so the usual transport crowds and expenses are not “extra”. Mostly it’s a home game like any other and you get a few months notice of it happening. 

Sorry that the AFL puts your life out on such a special night of the week. That dastardly Andrew Dillon he is as bad as that Gill bloke.

Where did you hear that? There has not been any news item in the press and our Swans game in Round zero is I believe all but confirmed on Thursday.

How any one could believe a D/Ler with a fake looking Demon Hawk motive is beyond me. 

It was a very emotional time for loyal and passionate Dees fans in 1996 and for this to be thrusted at us on this forum is particularly bad form. 

Oh and the fact that you say we are still playing the Dogs on Mar 16 has no bearing on the game a week earlier as the bye I believe is factored in for all the “ground zero teams” in early in the season say Round 5 or 7 perhaps. It won’t be our Anzac Eve game vs Tigers though.

i would like this to become a feature round. Melbourne versus Sydney is a constant comparison. Marketers gold.

According to the Age we will feature in round zero, and then get an early season bye, as well as a mid year bye.

All round zero teams get a bye in the first month or so of the season apparently. 

It'll be really interesting to see how we use that, from a fitness and fatigue management perspective.

Perhaps we have a bye the weekend before Gather Round given we have a Thursday night game on Gather Round weekend.

Round zero - @ Sydney

Round 1 - V Dogs

Round 2 - V someone.

Round 3 - Bye

Round 4  - Gather Round @ Adelaide (Thu night)

Why are you always so angry?

There’s no reason for you to be so antagonistic when speaking with fellow-posters, especially when they’ve not said anything particularly inflammatory. Your belligerence is puzzling on a Dees forum. Save that sh!tt for oppo fans if you really feel the need to square up with someone.

So dees play back to back H&A games at the SCG vSwans. Wouldnt surprise me. We recently played 2 H&A games at the Gabba in 3 rounds .

Any confirmation yet on what round we get flicked down to the Cattery?

 

Why are you complaining about the Gabba and SCG? The fixture has never been about playing every interstate team at their ground in alternating years. Sydney have played us at the G every year since 2011 except 2016.

I can highly recommend the "Ignore" option WCW. I knew it existed, but only just found it yesterday. Only one person needed actioning, but it has made visiting Demonland so much less frustrating.

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

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.

    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.
