Question, If Queenie Carks it before next year is the day still valid??

I mean you wouldn't really continue it as a public holiday if she wasn't around would you?

Which means King Charlie takes over. When's his Birthday??

The royalists, historians and constitutional "Guru's" of Demonland might like to shed some light on this question.?

It is not her birthday anyway (which is in April). I think it is when it is as an Antipodean nod to the annual Trooping of the Colour, which takes places near Liz's house in London around . Hence, apart from making it the King's Birthday, not much would necessarily change. If you want a descriptive name, try "Bizarre Australian Holiday #4" :lol:

    We have disgraced the fixture for the years

    I can see your point, but it's our only big game for the year. I can't remember the last time we played a Friday night game and we seem to get all the terrible Sunday twilight games.

    Being a republican, I'd much prefer it become the President's Birthday match. ;)

    5th largest H&A Attendance this year. We are represented twice in top 11 this year. None in top 20 last year.

    Last year our average H&A attendance was 24929. After 11 games this year its 31964.

    its a positive sign.

    60k against the Tigers, 37k against Carlton, 36k against the Bullies, 68k against the Pies, 45k against the Crows, not too shabby 31k against the Saints and even 22k against the Weagles. Poor attendance in Alice but we didn't expect much there anyway and the same against GWS, no one goes there.

    Sam is more of a joke than a football personality these days. Those lamb ads are awful.

    The AFL has invested time building the qb rivalry, seems silly to pull the pin as the dees start to heat up. When the dees and pies are both looking like finals contenders it won't matter how many goals are scored because the match will draw 85k patrons.

    We've played Collingwood on the QB for many years, longer than you've been alive.

    It's probably the longest standing annual match of any in the competition, there are still plenty of Collingwood supporters that hate Melbourne and vice versa.

    Sam probably dreams of the days when a player takes a mark bows to the crowd then walks back to take his kick, then that's repeated all over the ground.

    I've seen plenty of football over the years and someone like Sam would struggle these days, he wasn't the greatest trainer and was a tad overweight, I doubt he'd have the fitness to play a game out.

    I saw him almost kill about 6 Dandenong players when he was playing for Prahran at Prahran once. He looked like he was having fun.

    I was scared and I was 30 metres away

    are you reading the same article DL?

    Now are you sure...

    I didn't read it WYL.

    I don't have to. you can only wrap fish so many ways; & these issues have been well trodden. I know what Sammy, he's a media Junky, & he's got a heart of gold. There is no way he would wish harm on us.

    He's running a different agenda for sure.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
