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.

Hope the the AFL's new love child upon which much has been lavished, crash and burn! 

No, it isn't the bombers altho I don't wish them well either!! 

I will happily 'death ride' both with the only benefit being the dark pleasure of their demise.😁

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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
