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.

    Has that stinking club ever played a game in The Apple Isle?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
