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.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
