AFLW North Melbourne Football Club AFLW - Season 2024

[The Nostradamus]

Good that it’s finally getting announced

Annoying that we can’t get more than 10 games again

They should make it that we play the 7 teams we didn’t play last year in the regular season and then the remainder 3 games they can base it on ladder postion groups

Good to Sammy back at the club.

Spoke to him last week. Said he was happy to be back in football after needing a long break after his playing career ended. Said he was burned out and didn't even want to play/be involved with local footy.

Thanks for the update. We don't realise the toll the games takes on players. Glad he took some time and I am happy and back at the club.

10 weeks again. 4 of em through the men's final series again. Baffling decision again.

It's great that they've ditched the entirely insignificant Carlton vs Collingwood season opener but to let Collingwood keep it is a missed opportunity. Perhaps a grand final rematch would be a better way to launch the season.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Fixture is out and we still somehow haven’t played essendon and hawks

Pies and tigers only top 8 sides we don’t play from last season

And still no ****ing home game v Melbourne!

 

[The Nostradamus]

And still no ******* home game v Melbourne!

Only positive is it is a neutral venue and not the shithole Casey fields

Yes I know, but how many home games did they have v us? 4?

 

[Quivorir]

3 games at Arden st. All games bar 2 on a Sunday. Still no Melbourne @ home. Still yet to play a couple of teams at all. **** this shit.

 

[Chadwiko]

Three games at Arden St is not enough.

I get the Tasmanian connection and in a 10 game season I get that has ramifications like this, but ugh. Feels like such a wasted opportunity.

I guess if we earn any home finals they'd be at Arden St though, surely.

Melbourne at Ikon Park >>> Adelaide in SA again (third-straight season).

Three games at Arden St is not enough.

I guess if we earn any home finals they'd be at Arden St though, surely.

Well let's see if the groundstaff can handle 3 games this time around, then we can maybe think about increasing that brutal load in future seasons.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Meanwhile, I put our family AFLW dates into the diary and realise Collingwood plays all but two of their 10 games in Melbourne. I should be used to it with the AFLM by now but the injustice still makes me feel ill.

 

[Dan]

No punt rd game

 

[giantroo]

 

[andana]

Do they have a mid season draft?

 

[CURVE]

No punt rd game

We've been shafted again.

Not the grand final though as that has been earmarked for Princes Park if a Melbourne club earns the right to host.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

How do you like Geelong's armchair ride? They get all 4 expansion teams and we only get one. We play the top 3 teams and they only get one of them.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Geelong finished 7th last season, and we finished 4th, so naturally our draw is harder. That said we get to play Carlton, who is every chance of being worse than both Essendon and Hawthorn.

Arguably we have a harder draw than Melbourne though. It'll depend on how Brisbane manage after a few key departures. Possible they'll still be strong in QLD (where they host all other top 6 finishers except us) but drop off away from home (such as for their meeting with us in Tassie, where we remain undefeated).

[Hearts to hearts]

Well, that’s bad news.

FFS.

The 2020s aren't exactly coming up Milhouse so far for our club.
