Gold Coast will meet Hawthorn (Round 11) and Port Adelaide (Round 12) at TIO Stadium in Darwin. The annual Q-Clash between Brisbane and Gold Coast has been set for Round 6 on Sunday, April 4.

Reigning premier Melbourne will continue its flag defence when the Demons return to Northern Territory for the Round 18 clash against Port Adelaide at Traeger Park, Alice Springs on the weekend of July 15-17.

The Saints head up to Cairns the following week to meet Port Adelaide from 7.25pm on Saturday, April 30 in Round 7.

Who wants to bet the Saints have more Friday night games than us?

Western Bulldogs and St Kilda will also hit the road in Round 6 for the ANZAC Appeal Round. Western Bulldogs will host Adelaide Crows at MARS Stadium in Ballarat from 1.45pm on Saturday April, 23, continuing the Dogs’ association with the Ballarat community. St Kilda has been given a second Friday night game in the early part of the season when Brett Ratten’s men take on Greater Western Sydney in Canberra in Round 6. The Friday night match will kickstart the ANZAC Appeal Round on April 22 and will also coincide with the return of superstar forward Toby Greene for the Giants.

The Western Derby between West Coast and Fremantle will also take place in Round 3 on Sunday April 3, in the hope Western Australia’s borders are open to Victorian teams by the start of the season.

The AFL has scheduled the Round 3 Showdown between Port Adelaide and Adelaide on Friday night, April 1.

The cup is said to be endued with healing properties.

It’s raining merch at Demonland HQ today.

He's going to rip someone's head off to get a taste of Premiership glory. Bring it on.

At Last it arrived!!!

If I had to choose between the two I would choose to do a 3km over 4 x 1km. And not just because of the extra 1km. I would choose 3km at once over 3 x 1km too. Assume you would have to go harder in the 4 x 1s. Not suggesting you just cruise through the 3kms but the 4 x 1s would be not quite a sprint but more of a sprint than the 3k. Having said that it would also depend on the recovery time between each km. I would assume there is very little recovery time.

Did you watch the last quarter of the Grand Final when Ed Langdon got the ball in the back pocket and passed it off and then proceeded to gut run down the length of the field culminating in him receiving the ball the in forward pocket and kicking a goal? That doesn't happen without running those flat out kms in preseason training.
