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:

    If they did take it off us we cant really complain

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
