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

No.

I believe their most off broadway game was against North in Canberra, 2001.

They've never played in Darwin, Hobart, Launceston or Alice Springs.

They probably feel insulted when they cop Gold Coast and Giants Stadium.

    Release the fixture in its entirety!!!

    I’m done buying concert tickets for example, then having to choose between attending the concert and attending the footy.

    Would also be cool to be able to book flights in December (for the coming season) while they’re cheaper.

     

    Oh and no stoopid Opening Round, especially select clubs having to travel interstate for it. But if it has to remain, how’s about we call it Round One. Sounds crazy, I know. But it might just work. 🙄

    Selfishly, way less night games for a change please. Living in a regional Victoria means a hotel overnight or getting home at 2am on the train.

    This is the list of teams in order of the difficulty of their fixtures based on position at the end of the home and away series. If we recognise that the draw is supposed to reflect where the the teams finished at the end of 2023.

    While I agree with the sentiment, it’s a circular argument. We think the draw affects the ladder position, and then we compare the ladder position with the draw.

    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.

    BBP - as I understand the absurdly named round zero involves the top 8 teams from the previous year, so if that is the case we will miss out.

    First 3 weeks "soft games" (though never forget our 'percentage builder game v WCE this year 😮) as we will be withiout Kozzie so we will get the top 3 from this year as away games no doubt.

    Is that new for Opening round next year as Richmond were involved this year and they didn’t play finals in 2023?

    I’d like our trip to Hobart back please. Always a good weekend, especially with North still being rubbish.

    With 18 teams each playing 23 games in a 24-round season, all clubs are hit with ‘double-up’ match-ups, where certain sides play games against each other twice during the year.

    The AFL uses a ‘weighted rule’ to determine who plays each other twice, breaking the 18 teams into three groups: the top six teams from the previous year’s ladder (based on finals results), the middle six and bottom six.

    Teams then play teams that finished in their bracket on the ladder more often - though this rule is rubbery at best !!!

    Top six: Swans, Power, Cats, Giants, Lions, Dogs

    Middle six: Hawks, Blues, Pies, Freo, Bombers, Saints, 

    Bottom six:   Suns, Dees, Crows, Eagles, Kangas, Tigers

    so we should perhaps play 

    2x Suns, Tigers, Kangas, Bombers, Freo, and Lions 

    AFL to really shaft us 

    14th place gets us in the frame for regular Sunday schedule 

    okay locked in

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
