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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
