Nope, we have a home game at marvel 

Yep just picked up on that.

Didnt we have an agreement to play 10 home games at the G?

    3 games in Adelaide, happy days!

    The club and players loves playing in Adelaide.

    We have an outstanding record over the last 8 years.

    Sounds like a good draw for the Dees. Don't be too down about a Marvel home game. Marvel is actually a decent ground to watch footy in. Definitely prefer the MCG on a nice sunny day with a solid crowd but if the weather is windy and wet, Marvel is good value and can get a decent atmosphere if you get over 30K in. Handy being next to Southern Cross Station and its easy to get a beer or snack there without lining up too long.

    Yep agreed. Don't give a toss what the fixture is, win enough games to make finals or top 4 and we will make money...

    Eagles at marvel late in the season hard to see 20k showing up for that, might be better if fan boycott so the afl stops with the stupidity

    Double up games:

    Somehow we’ve avoided the top 6 completely. 

    Also avoided Blues and Freo and play freo at home 

    Big opportunity for the club next year!

    A commercial disaster, but from a 'winnability' point of view, it's a good draw as things stand. Of course every year some teams surprise and some falter, but to only play Brisbane, Geelong, Swans (at home) Carlton, and Freo (at home) once, is a big win as I expect them to do well again next year. 

    And given our fans rarely turn up to night games, it's hard to complain about the 3:20 Sunday timeslot. You get what you deserve in this game*.

    Also good to have 2 easier game in the first 3 weeks, given we will be missing Kosi!

    *unless you're one of the AFL's love child, and then you get a lot more than you deserve

    tbh, I don't wish any team well but right now that new 'love child' is in the same category as the loathsome bombers!

    'Death ride' them both!!!

    Crazy we get only 12 games at the g next year and blues who split there games between docklands and mcg get 11, on top of the we travel intestate 7 times and Geelong once. 4 more than some other Victorian sides

    The fixture is perfectly fine

    i reckon the Hawks will regress this year so the best top 6 double up we could have asked for

    We have a very good record in Adelaide so suits us to play 3 games there.

    We should finish top 4. if we don't it won't be because of the fixture

    what's the answer though?

    move it to MCG just to get a couple more thousand attending?

    The commercial side of the draw gets mentioned quite a bit. Are we actually more disadvantaged with this draw compared to more night games like we had last year? We played GWS and Port on Saturday night prime last year both in front of a near empty MGC. Those games can't have been anything only loss making.

    If we play well through 15 rounds we'll be better scheduled last 7 games. Playing well is the best way to bring commercial success.

    I do think North and WC will significantly improve next season. Especially WC

    Saints... will be the Saints

    Pies will be top 4 imo

    Hawks will regress slightly and be in the mix to make finals

    GC - should improve with another year under Hardwick

    But aside from the Tigers there are no worse teams really

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
