I for one would prefer far less night games.

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

 

some more afternoon games would be good for mr 5yo

100% we'll be back at taxpayer park

personally id prefer they released the whole fixture in one go. 

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.

I for one will welcome our return to the Sunday 1:10 slot

Dees now on the nose

14th place gets us in the Sunday schedule 

🎓Home game v Pies for Kings Birthday 

🎓Away game v Tigers on Anzac Eve 

🎓Alice springs game 

likely fixture to include 

👻“round negative 1”… versus someone else 

👻Play Cats at GMHBA Cattery 

👻Dockers have asked the AFL to play MFC 5 times next year 

👻Home game v Giants at 1.10pm on Mother’s Day 

👻Home game v Suns at 1.10pm in July 

media to run stories in Dees low home game attendance 

👻Sunday game to be followed by an “away game on Thursday night v Port Power”

👻Home game during Adelaide-fest magic round weekend at Mt Barker v Eagles on Sunday at 12.45pm 

👻Away game v Lions in round 1 during March with 95% humidity 

and more shafting by the AFL 

 

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.

At least if we don’t exist we can’t lose

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. 

Collingwood to play:

- Cats at Kardinia

- Giants in Canberra 

- Kangaroos in Hobart

- Hawthorn in Launceston

- Demons in Alice Springs 

- Gold Coast in Darwin

-  Dogs in Ballarat

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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
