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.

    We should work the games around Trac’s cooking schedule

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
