2024 AFLW FIXTURE

SOM25-24-AFLW-Fixture-release_02.png?wid

The AFLW is so uneven that they carefully fixture to ensure the best teams don't play the cellar dwellers.

From last years home and away ladder we play 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th and 16th.

    Tough start with Cats Lions and Roos first 3 games. Need to hit the ground running and win 2 of these if we want to ensure home finals.

    i think the newer teams will improve again. bombers, Sydney and suns will be improvers. i don't think us, crows, Lions and Roos will dominate to the same extent as previous years.

    Yes, its like an unofficial divisional system.  Not best pleased with the fixture, really wish we didn't play down in Casey so much.  We couldn't get more centrally located games?

    I knew a year without having to suffer the pain of going to Mordor was too good to be true. 😅

    Also… Windy Hill (shudder) ‘Nam flashbacks

    A 4-day break between the Crows at Norwood Oval and the Saints at RSEA Park… tough. 😳

    From a cheer squad point of view Round 4 is the only potential clash (if our men make a prelim). But we’ll split our resources *if need be ❤️💙

    *here’s to hoping need be

    ...unless we're playing the Dockers, they've finished above us on the ladder, and it's a Friday or Saturday night game! 🤪

    Well played AFL. The players want a longer season, but the AFL doesn't, so they tie expansion to crowds then schedule games featuring interstate teams at night in the middle of the week. It's pure genius. 

    It's pretty tough on semi professional players to have 4 games in 16 days.

    Another step closer to Season 2024:

    https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1586316/hore-and-hanks-to-lead-again

    I'm looking forward to it a bit more this year, what with the men's season not going quite as expected, but also because it's going to be yet another step up in standard. Also, the discussion of this group of leaders makes me proud of the people in this Club.

    And we'll get to see the red and blue being skillfully and excitingly showcased for weeks beyond the end of August (hopefully September).

    There’s a praccy match vs Carlton this Friday (Aug 10th) at Ikon at 5pm.

    Entry is free.

    Great venue (the girls love playing at Ikon) but terrible start time for a Friday game.

    Our game vs Essendon at Windy Hill (shudder) is on a Friday at 2pm. When I first saw this I couldn’t believe how dumb it is.

    But it’s on the 27th of September which is AFL grand final eve meaning it’s a public holiday (in Victoria). Not everyone has that day off, though. But I suppose it’s better than a regular Friday at 2pm.

    What a Fascinating FIXture it is!

    With the 'One month later' continuation of this thread, I'm sensing a shift now of our Dees-following from the Hopeless to the Hopeful. A bit earlier than we would have liked but...

    Go Girls!

    Go Dees!

    A challenging fixture notwithstanding, there’s much excitement about the new season! A lot of new talent this season. The Season Launch was held on Monday and by all accounts it was a wonderful night. *Season Launches are by far and away the most fun events on the footy calendar because it’s a fresh slate kinda vibe and everyone is full of hope. I couldn’t attend. Unfortunately I’m not as well-heeled as I’d like to be. 😭 But everyone enjoyed a great night and warmly welcomed the new girls.
     

    *except for this year’s men’s Season Launch which was held on the 22nd of February, merely hours after Gussy’s forced retirement was announced. That night wasn’t terribly fun at all 🥲

    That new Hawthorn recruit seems to be getting a lot of publicity, not just here but overseas as well.

    Seems like everybody's talking about the Hawk Tuah girl.

    Looking forward to see how we go .....but...does the same person that does the VFL fixtures do the AFLW ?  It's a mess. Melbourne play every day except Monday and Tuesday from 11.00 am through to 7:15 pm.

    Saying something, not particularly complimentary, about the fixture so far - and possibly about the AFL's 'team creation' set-ups, and other artificialities:

    * North's percentage of 311% (including a draw with 12th-placed Geelong)

    * 16th-placed GWS 91%, 11th-placed Melbourne 61%

    * 12th-placed Geelong 103%, 11th-placed Melbourne 61%

    * 3 teams less than 50% (and one near it) - despite 2 having won twice

    Injuries, particularly ours, skew things somewhat, too.

    Looking at the ladder right now, we’ve played six of the top eight and are scheduled to play the other two in the next two Rounds. Of the two teams that we’ve played who are not in the eight, Geelong made a Preliminary Final last year where they lost to the eventual premier Brisbane by 4 points. In other words, it’s about as tough a fixture you could possibly dream up given the teams you don’t play in your allocation of 11 games. Worse, given our injuries this season.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
