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)

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!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
