The Dees will also play the Kangaroos in a Scratch Match a week or two prior to the Community Series match against the Dockers.

The Dees will travel to Rushton Oval in Western Australia to face Fremantle as part of the league’s formal practice matches prior to the 2025 AFL season.

The 3:10pm (local) game will consist of four quarters of 20 minutes plus time on, as per the regular home-and-away season.

The AAMI Community Series games will be ticketed events, with on-sales scheduled for Wednesday 5 February.

Club members with 2025 AFL Premiership Season entry entitlements will have access to free general admission tickets, subject to availability. Sign up now to become a Dees member ahead of 2025.  

In addition to their official practice match, the Dees will also face North Melbourne prior to their game against Fremantle in an in-formal match simulation.  

Details of this are still to be confirmed with date, time and location to be determined by the two clubs involved.

The match sim will be required to take place between Saturday 15 February and Saturday 22 February.  

North get another ‘home’ game in Perth. Lucky them. 
 

I hope our game against them is at Arden St and not in the @rse end of Cranbourne. 


So North, then Freo

Then a week off while the nonsense that is Round 0 happens

Pretty good lead in I reckon.  Intraclub match on 8th you'd imagine

An interstate practice match, what a load of Rubbish, on a ****ty little ground

Unbelievable, but typical of AFL arrogance 

All practice matches should be played in Victoria concerning The MFC…

The area that is now Rushton Park was first gazetted as a sanitation site on 20 August 1926, and was converted to a recreation reserve in September 1958, under the Mandurah Road Board

So we're playing Freo at the old sewerage farm... sounds about right

 

Oh well if nothing else it gives us another look at a team that has absolutely humiliated us since 2020, aside from the odd occasion.

It’s gotten to the point where Freo supporters online were disappointed on fixture release day that they only play us once in 2025 because they view us as a percentage booster. That’s simply not on.

Round 6 at the G is one day I’m keen on a bit of pay back.

And typically the Collingwood filth only has to travel to Ikon Park!

That Richmond V Collingwood game is now a permanent pre season fixture at Ikon park.

I can’t quite put my finger on why they bully us so much 

My best guess is that their mids can match us in the contest while outpacing us, meaning we frequently get opened up 

Meanwhile they’ve been elite defensively for a few years, so when we do get looks we struggle big time to score 

Thankfully I’m pretty neutral about them so I don’t get too upset, but it would be good to get one back on them this year

Using the term 'full schedule' to describe two games, one of which being an 'in-formal (sic) match simulation' (ie scratch match) at a yet to be determined date and ground, hurts my head.

By the by, do our players have to wear a tux against the roos?

Think you nailed the bolded bit.

Same could be said about Collingwood.

Travel/Injury factors. The games are a meaningless risk

Travel is a fact of AFL life.  So are injuries.

Players get injured in intra-club games.

 

What are the odds that the North game will be in Tassie.

The AFL are selling tickets to these meaningless games as well, i get it but i don’t have to agree with it

So it's going to be a [censored] game then?

 

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to have home derbies in each of WA, SA, NSW and QLD, with the rest all played in Victoria? Would be better financially and probably better crowd wise.

Couldn’t agree more after all these games are really just practice matches to blow cob webs out , get match fit and trial one or two things before the real stuff begins 

It seems like the AFL love to over engineer things often and in many cases to the detriment of the clubs paid up supporters

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
