That's fair, following a road trip to Perth.

 

So this has us featuring on the Sunday afternoon game on Channel 7 all the way through to the end of the home  & away season.

And after an 8 day break this week on 7 day breaks all the way to the end of regular season.

Nice.

Haha. I was trying to find a negative just for fun, it's a longer wait to find out we've missed the 8! :lol:

 

Hahahah and they still manage to give Carlton a night game (Saturday). Unbeleivable!

PS Very happy with our Sunday PM times slot just FYI.

Good pickup! FMD.


Good result.

The other positive about playing Sunday is GWS may have no incentive (may have laready secured 3rd or 4th position) hence have nothing to play ofr (ala the Crows against WC in 2017).

Hopefully we dont have to worry about that this time!!!

 

 

It makes no sense for Carlton-Adelaide to play any time other than Sunday. Neither is finals bound so recovery time is irrelevant.

And we end up with a crowd-killing mid-afternoon Sunday time slot just to limit our take at the gate one more time.

Melbourne-GWS makes at least as much sense as Port-Essendon for Friday in a football sense. The Bummers could well be grounded by then.

Can you believe Tony Jones on the Sunday Footy Show suggested that Melbourne vs Greater Western Sydney Match should be played on Friday night. I mean really just a 5 day break coming home from Perth he is a idiot.

If we are finals bound on that Sunday against GW$, there will be a decent crowd at the ‘G

Late Sunday is perfect for us

3 of our last 4 games are at the G, win the next 2 and we're home I reckon. Then aim for top 4.

Time to take some "learnings" and  "change the narrative" ?

He obviously didn't look at the Rnd22 fixture. The comment was more focused on Friday night's game is the showpiece game, and that the GWS v Dees game on paper looks like the best game of the round.

It's about time we made it our friend.

 

Reckon we’re in. 

Booked first week of finals accommodation - in Canberra. 

Family wedding. 

Gladly have earpiece in if we’re playing. 

FWIW last family wedding was when Baileys Dees crushed Roos Swans.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
