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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
