I for one would prefer far less night games.

I have a feeling we'll be back at kardinia park next year...

    To avoid playing the Collingwood Football Club on grounds of severe prior physical and mental damages caused.

    id prefer we actually played them with a bit of fire in the belly and a bit of aggression rather than being softer than a bag full of marshmallows left next to a fire

    Id like a trip to Tasmania, purely for an away trip.

    I would also not like to play a SA team in Gather Round

    I'm with you. Hard to take kids on 3.20pm starts and night games, few early afternoon games would be good. And no Geelong trip with Collingwood going there for once would be nice.

    1) No game in Geelong - but I know we'll be back there.

    2) A variety of Home game timeslots (aside from the Pies/Richmond holiday games) - 1 Friday night, 3 Saturday arvo, 1 Saturday twilight, 1 Saturday night, 1 Sunday at 1pm, 1 Sunday 3:20pm.

    3) Punt the Alice Springs game and transfer it to Marvel. (Not happening but I can wish)

    4) Play Collingwood and Freo once.

    5) Play a neutral game at Gather Round, although ironically we've beaten the SA team and lost the neutral game.

    6) 7 interstate trips instead of 8 but I know that won't happen because of Alice.

    7) Play GC at the MCG for the first time since 2018.

    Points 1, 3 and 6 are no hope.

    And lastly, this year they had a number of 4pm games on Foxtel in the first 10 rounds of the year. I'd expect us to get a couple of these next year.

    I'm pretty certain the club will have been burnt to the ground by an angry Italian before we get a chance to look at a fixture.

    Brisbane Lions lucked out. Port Adelaide and Geelong also had bonus fixtures.

    It would be nice to avoid Fremantle. Guaranteed we play Geelong at GMHBA stadium, I also won’t be surprised if we get GC in Darwin. It’s hard to see it being a good fixture for exposure.

    You are wrong about the Anzac Eve game. It’s Melb turn to be host.  
    Most of your other contrived tips are way offline, some are a joke only.

    Others will disagree but I hope we're not involved in Opening round next year, particularly against Sydney.

    I think the club needs to try and fly under the radar early next year rather than play on the prime time opening Thursday night, where if we lose the media will find the earliest opportunity to sink their boots in.

    Therefore an ''off Broadway" winnable 1:10 game against a West Coast or Gold Coast at the MCG in round 1 proper would be an ideal way to start the season and get the club feeling good again.

    I also hope we don't cop a tough first 3 weeks against contenders, without Kozzie.

    I don't pay attention to the fixture releases. Whatever it will be will be and then I'll complain about it when the games come around.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      The Demons return home to the MCG in search of their first win for the 2025 Premiership season when they take on the Fremantle Dockers on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
