Thanks Demonland Interesting that we travel interstate km’s on par with Sydney and GWS. WCE, Freo, Brissie & GC do the heavy lifting due to distant locations and Bullies, Blues, Bummers and Pies do the least. Sounds Fair.!!

One thing I wonder with the WA teams, have the AFL ever considered fixturing them for two away games and then two home games each to limit the travel?

They could come stay in Melbourne for a week, play two games and then have two home games. Or you could do Melbourne and Sydney so there is only a small flight inbetween.

 

Doesn't tell the full story. The chart above suggets St Kilda have a cruisy run, but it's wrong. St Kilda played at 7 different venues in the first 9 rounds. This includes trips Geelong, Launceston, Canberra and two different venues in Adelaide. Those a short trips so they don't show up as KMs travel, but they've had no continuity. After Round 14 they will have played at 9 venues.

They end the season with something like 8 of 9 games being at Marvel, but by that time their season will be done.

On the other hand we just played 4 straight at the MCG. Our trip to Adelaide sucked for a range of reasons, but at least it was at Adelaide Oval both times.

That will likely put too much strain on the fixturing algorithm as its already heavily loaded up attending to revenue,profit and appeasing Collingwood.


Our round trip to Alice makes this look far worse for us than it actually is.

I assume the number of flights is actually double...that is "there and back". Is that correct? Which raises a separate question: Do any clubs play a triangular (three flights) trip, such as Perth to Melbourne to Sydney then back to Perth, for example?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
