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.

    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

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
