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.

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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
