The AFL know dees have poor crowds at many night games. 

It would help if they didn't schedule them in midwinter vs Port, GWS, Freo etc whose fans don't travel. 

Schedule the night games vs Carlton, Coll, Rich etc and it is a different story.  Dees fans will probably be outnumbered but there will be a decent crowd and many watching on TV.

 

I prefer day games but am ok with night games but not in midwinter at the G.  If the AFL want midwinter night games they should be in the warmer states or undercover at Marvel.

    I read somewhere that there will be lots of Sunday night games, often on the eve of a public holiday in Vic or Qld.  Most others will be in WA which will be an early evening start in WA so broadcast at night in eastern states.

    My mfcss has kicked in and we cop a double whammy:  Sunday night and travel to Perth 😢

    Not expecting much good in this fixture for the club/players re travel, breaks, revenue.

    At what point today is it all being released?

    Rumour of 1pm. Interesting that they haven’t released round 1 first though.

    Fixture is a debacle.

    Sunday 3:20 galore, home game at Marvel. Off to Perth for West Coast again, back to Geelong, twice at Adelaide Oval.

    But, last 7 are in Victoria.

    Means only 12 games at the G, down from 14

    We have Pies, Hawks and Blues as away games at the G so I think it’s 13 games at the G.

    Edit - 1 mcg home game has been moved to Marvel. Thought we had an agreement to play 10 at the G because of Alice.

    Double up teams

    Hawks, Pies, STK, GCS, WCE, NTH

    That is the easiest we could have had.

    Based on 2024

    • 5th - Hawks (7th pre finals)
    • 9th - Pies
    • 12th - Saints
    • 13th - GCS
    • 16th - WCE
    • 17th - North

    I don't see any of them being top 4 and only a couple top 8 candidates.

    In terms of groupings:

    • 1 from top 6
    • 2 from middle 6
    • 3 from bottom 6

    No complaints there. 

    Its now up to the team to capitalise on that fixture and romp into the 8 and maybe top 4.

    Check out Rounds 8 to 17, its a bloody horrible run of travel away, home, travel away.

    I know we have the last 7 in Melbourne but we will be well cooked with all the travel

    From a club progression viewpoint that fixture is damning.

    Sponsor contracts have multiple kicker clauses and I bet we hardly kick one.

    You were right. After our first year out of the finals, we are North Melbourne. All late games on Sunday (pox) against interstate sides (double pox). Back to Gee-hole and Marvel

    • 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.
