when does it get released????????

Not sure when it will be released, but we will be playing Hawthorn in Round 1. Great news given that they will be without Crawford, Hodge and Lewis (all suspended).

Good point there deeboy. It is Twilight match on Easter Sunday. Shame I won't be able to go away- my footy is more important!

now that judd is a blue expect andrew d and crew to set up a lovely little draw that favors carlton no end while we get shafted again.

Be nice if we get 10 home games in VIC, now that our Brisbane home game has been cancelled.

Wouldn't mine playing the Lions at the G'. Sure to be quite spicy.

Expecting the draw to be released within 2 weeks.

Probable Round 1:

Thu (n)

Port V Geelong AAMI

THU/FRI

Carlton V Richmond MCG

Sat

Collingwood V Fremantle MCG

Sat (n)

St Kilda V Sydney TD

West Coast V Brsbane S

Sun

WB V Adelaide TD

Hawthorn V Melbourne MCG (Twilight)

Mon

Kangaroos V Essendon TD

Hopefully we play the majority of our games on either Saturday or Sunday, like we did this year.

It makes it much easier with work rosters (hopefully we play mostly Saturdays because I earn double-time on Sunday... keep that in mind Mr.D :P)

I was disgusted with our draw last year. We seemed to have a mortgage on Sunday games and only 1 Saturday afternoon game.

God I hate day games. Always hung over.

I particulary despise Sunday games. They suck so bad.

Friday, Sat or Sat night is all good.

Sunday is shithouse.

I think it's good to play most games on the same day, as it actually does make it easier for people to plan around and turn up to games. Especially students like myself who have to work weekends, or parents who want to take their kids to sport or something similar on weekends.

Saturday is obviously a bit better for the club in terms of exposure and crowd numbers and all that, but given that we finished 14th and given that we are... well... Melbourne, we'll probably get suck with mostly Sunday games again.

As long as we don't have to play in Geelong, or have back to back interstate trips, or an interstate match in Round 22, I'll be happy.

Can't wait to play Carlton. Hopefully we remind Judd that money doesn't buy success.

To be honest we got a pretty good draw this year, we were just too [censored] to take advantage of all the MCG games we had early in the year.

In a bout of selfishness; I hope we play every game on friday night. As I work all day Saturday and Sunday i can only get to friday night games.

who are we...Nord melbun Dees or sumpin !! lol :)

I agree. It's not the crappiness of our draw that pisses me off, its the great draws of other clubs (need I mention them). Fairness for the rest of the competition would be nice.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
