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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
