Summary:

image.png.9d1b67e0873ac4025d7513800b3ec4be.png

'Teams Not Played' happens because of the Conference system.Ā  It is easy to see how unequal the draw is when Collingwood, Adelaide, Brisbane and others don't play the recent Premiers ? whereas we play both!!

We have the toughest draw by playing all teams bar a newbie, Geelong and last years cellar dweller, Carlton.Ā  We have two trips interstate:Ā  Brisb and Sydney but fortunately no game in NT.

Collingwood has the dream run just one trip interstate, Freo and doesn't play either of the two Premiers.Ā  Also get to open the season again!Ā  Don't know what the Demons and Bulldogs, the pioneers of the sport, have to do to get some recognition!

Well, at least Carlton aren't opening the season any longer.Ā  Their low scoring, boring game cost the competition's 'brand' last year.

It will be interesting to see who gets the prize with the most and best broadcasting time slots.Ā  Undoubtedly, Collingwood will feature handsomely!

The challenge for us will be covering the loss of Daisy.

At least the brains trust at AFL haven't slotted a team to play in Alice Springs in the middle of summer at 5pm, and off a 6 day break like they did to us last year.Ā  Probably cost us a spot on the ladder in the end, and probably a GF position.

9.35pm for Adelaide v Freo, in Darwin is half sensible, but why a game needs to be played there at all is beyond me.

Aside from the ridiculous conference system and the uneven, nonsensical fixture that results - I could rant forever - the positives for me are some better venues and I do like one of the new teams getting the chance to open the season.

The summer games at Casey have a fun atmosphere and though it's a bit of a hike from anywhere on the other side of the city, it's worth it to support our team at home. The games at Etihad and Victoria Park in 2019 are also good opportunities to check the Dees out in more central locations with better seating facilities.

Apparently, they haven't finalised the broadcast deal yet, which is odd considering that was what they were supposedly prioritising over every team playing each other. But anyway.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
