I had visions of us copping the 4.40pm Sunday timeslot. 1.10pm is a much better outcome, even if that is Father's Day.

Even with the early start, playing the Giants at Etihad in round 23 on Fathers Day could still set a record low attendance. At least the weather won't be an excuse.

Friday, September 4
Richmond v North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium, 7.50pm AEST (Channel 7)

Saturday, September 5
Geelong v Adelaide at Simonds Stadium, 1.05pm AEST (Fox Sports)
Brisbane Lions v Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, 1.45pm AEST (Channel 7)
Port Adelaide v Fremantle at Adelaide Oval, 3.20pm ACST (Fox Sports)
Hawthorn v Carlton at the MCG, 4.40pm AEST (Fox Sports)
West Coast v St Kilda at Domain Stadium, 5.40pm AWST (Channel 7)
Sydney Swans v Gold Coast at the SCG, 7.20pm AEST (Fox Sports)

Sunday, September 6
Melbourne v GWS at Etihad Stadium, 1.10pm AEST (Fox Sports)
Collingwood v Essendon at the MCG, 3.20pm AEST (Channel 7)

I'll be there assuming my 2nd child isn't born by then.

Try and finish the year with a win for the first time since the Kreuzer Cup I believe?

And another win at Doglands- on top of our round 20 win there over the Bulldogs of which I am extremely confident. !!

Definitely a no go for me.

My daughters want to take me to the pies v Dons for Father's Day.

They must really want me to suffer.

What have I done to deserve this?

I said to my dad we will take you to etihad for fathers day. The crowd will be interesting. 1:10 on fathers day at etihad. Im not expecting a lot. But then I remembered for the first time I can scan my membership so I get in for free. It may be the last time well it will be see some players run around in the red and blue.

Something tells me you have failed as a father.

May well be the last match I get to watch live until August next year, so I'll definitely be there

I doubt my dad would like to do anything more on Father's Day than go to Shitehad stadium, sit on the roof when the ground level is empty, and watch us lose to GWS.

What a golden child I am!

last time i went to etihad for an away game, bought ga at gate. they offered me a reserve seat on level 1 in the "melb area" which was near the cheer squad

i even got to pick my seat (roughly) - all for no extra charge

i was surprised

so i expect being a home game you could probably do the same.....but check with club first

Anyone else want to storm the medallion club seats and see just how many security guards it takes to stop us? Worse thing that can happen is probably getting kicked out and being saved the pain of watching us lose to GWS.

By the way if GWS sneak an upset win either of Port or Sydney as well as getting the job done against Carl and Essendon then they'll likely be playing to make the 8.

If we do them a massive favour and beat North this week then they could be as high as 7th by the end of this round as well.

How nice that they schedule the filth and the drug cheats at the "G" on the same day and the Hawks and the Blues at the "G" the day before. Lovely the way the AFL schedules us with a "home game" against GWS at Etihad, I don't think!

The only redeeming feature is that GWS may not like playing there any more than us and it may be a chance for us to break the hoodoo.

Still, at least we have won two significant "away games" this year in our win against the Cats at the Cattery followed up by our decisive away victory against the Pies last weekend!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
