Leaving aside the ridiculous floating fixture, and the complete lack of needing it for round 24...

Anyone know when the afl are likely to release this round? Impossible to plan when it's only 3 weeks away

    A couple of weeks ago we were told it would be announced midweek after round 21. So I guess we’ll know on Wednesday.

    I reckon our game will be Saturday night or Sunday 3:20pm.

    Brisbane V Essendon is my tip for the Friday night and Freo V Port to finish up on Sunday night.

    Given we are out of finals contention and I expect the Pies will be too by round 24, I would think we get the Sunday 3:20pm slot.

    Is there still a pre-finals bye?

    If so, this lack of a last round fixture if a farce

    If it's a dead rubber, it would make more sense fo the AFL to give us an old school 1.10/2.10pm Saturday game. No-one will watch the game on TV so Sunday 3.20pm is a waste.

    Right now there are three games that will have big ramifications for finals. Every other game involves a team stuck in the bottom 6.

    IMO these should get the Friday, Saturday and Sunday slots:

    • Freo vs. Port Friday night (Optus, Friday night)
    • Brisbane vs. Essendon (Gabba, Saturday night)
    • Bulldogs vs. Giants (Marvel, Sunday afternoon)

    It appears we’re playing Collingwood on the Friday night.

    It will be officially announced tomorrow

    Can understand the rationale of a super Sunday, but still odd we get Friday

    Once you realise every decision the AFL makes is primarily for the benefit of the TV networks their actions make a lot more sense.

    Really hope we put in a decent performance if we’re the Friday night game and everyone’s watching.

    Also hope the Pies are mathematically out of it which may make the former more likely.

    This game is likely to be a dead rubber - strange that the AFL would allocate prime time for that !

    I am so hoping for the Pies to win the next two and have a chance only for us to snuff it. 
    Would probably require a Sat game to make it a possibility.

    Yes but they’ll be hoping the 8 won’t be settled until the Sunday.

    There are two MCG games, the other is Rich v GC. 

    They don’t want dead rubbers on the Sunday so they had to put one on Saturday and one on Friday night.

    The draw, the venues, the timings ... all seems so depressing now ... hope Max is given a well-deserved rest from the responsibilities that he has endured this season. Bring into the team, for the final rounds of the H and A season, all of the cherubs languishing at Casey. It is time to bite the cherry (or it may be the lemon), sack Badloss, re-structure and present an experience pathway for debutants and tenderfoots to the 2025 season. Why not?

    Only confirms that the AFL have the fix in to make sure C'wood wins enough preceding games to make that an elimination final for C'wood.  (Yes I am paranoid)

    Seriously?

    Lions and Bombers made more sense. Freo and Port I understand because you want to keep eyes glued to the TV sets.

    I reckon Dogs and Giants could have been a ripper for Fri night at Marvel, seems strange having the Mars agreement for Round 24.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
