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.

    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!!!

    Hawthorn essentially finished 6. But agree with you

    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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
