What's the deal with the 1:20 Saturday timeslot? 

Since when has that been a thing. They've either been 1:45 or 2:10.

Not complaining, I think it's great, just curious 

Assuming they’ve worked out it’s better for tv timeslots

Why??

I like wearing MFC polo tops as casual wear when on holidays abroad. Some people like to wear say NY Yankees or Real Madrid apparel. I like Demons polo tops, authentically Melbourne, my home town.

The draw is fine. We were going to travel and play with red footys as soon as we tumbled. And boy did we tumble…

And 3.20 Sunday is not ‘the bad old days’ - that slot is on C7 and leads into the news. The bad old days was 1.10 on Sunday when no one cared you were playing. 

My advice to fans in Melbourne - get to games, don’t boo Petracca, and if you’re upset about only 12 games at the G, you know how you can get more games at the G next year???

Home vs Saints in Alice

Very strange...

First time we have ever played a Melbourne club there ( I think)

The abacus is spinning

[Macca 16,910]

10 of 14 games on FTA so even though we've been largely relegated from Prime time, we are still going to be quite visible to the masses.  Helps our sponsors too

And the overall match-ups aren't difficult at all.  So in effect, finishing 14th gave us a much easier draw and set us up for 2 picks inside the top 10 in the draft

We play the following teams once only ... Sydney, Brisbane, Geelong, Port, Freo, GWS, Carlton, Essendon & Doggies (all of whom could be described as finals contenders)

So, considering that our list is still in quite good shape (injuries aside), we've been gifted a golden opportunity ... especially if those 2 draft picks have an impact in their first year.  One draftee (at least) might be a plug-in-and-play type

And despite all the other issues we've had, that stuff will be forgotten quickly if we start winning from the get-go.  Flying under the radar with an underdog status can be a real advantage as well as an us-against-them mentality

The MC need to use every means possible for a top 4 finish

But much will depend on Petracca & Oliver.  If both get back to their best, the sky is the limit

Top 8 at a minimum but if we have a 2021 type year with regards to injuries, we can contend again

Bring on the draft and let JT work his magic

We actually played the Saints at Traeger during the hub, just prior to the two Cairns games (I think) BP5 scored the winning goal that just crept over the goal line (no cameras on the line).

Someone has to say it, so I'll be the [censored], the snow forecast is good btw r14-17.

But seriously Carlton with 3rd easiest draw, that is ridiculous.

[dees189227 12,370]

Well I like it. Like how we're back to arvo games.

Hare how we get Collingwood twice now. 

Avoid another essendon game because I'm not going to go to Adelaide. 

Home game against wc at marvel will be interesting 

Back at Geelong, no way can I make it on a Friday night. But so are essendon and Richmond so that's OK.

Can't complain.  When you only draw 16000 towards the end of the season you deserve what you get.

Anyone asked trac if the fixture is OK with his brand?
