I'm with you Praha.  Season starting way too early and goes too long for mine.

I'd be happy with 18 rounds plus the bye!  Everyone plays each other once.  That's 19 weeks.  Plus 5 weeks of finals including the first week as a bye yes?  24 weekends or effectively almost 6 months of footy!

The only reason we go another 6 rounds is the almighty $$.  Makes no sense to have a fixture where some teams end up playing each other twice, potentially 3 or 4 times if you include finals.

Honestly I am fully invested in the NBA now as it starts getting good after the AFL Star break.

A March 7 start for the AFL is ridiculous.

    Our best possible side probably has McAdam, Pickett and Kossie all moving deep...

    Are Pickett and Kossie two different players or has big, bad Byron returned?

    The stat I’d really like to see is some sort of net score involvement.  Score involvements minus turnovers that result in opposition scores.  That would allow a better assessment of players in similar roles.  

    Good call.

    Also the NBA style team +/- when a player is on the field, though doing this with 36 players at a time rather than 10 may be a bit tricky...

    Byron's back only when we play Collingwood.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      ï»żA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
