Deeoldfart 8,201 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 That's fair, following a road trip to Perth. Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,548 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Wow! The AFL actually gave us some consideration by not giving us a 6 day break after Perth. 1 Quote
ChaserJ 5,192 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited July 30, 2018 by ChaserJ 5 Quote

Jibroni 5,057 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 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!!! Quote
pitmaster 3,592 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 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. Quote
solly21 91 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 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. 2 Quote

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 1 1 Quote
loges 6,767 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 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. 2 Quote

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. 1 Quote

radar 1,867 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited July 30, 2018 by radar Quote
TGR 1,367 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I don't mind Sunday. We can manipulate a loss if it suits us. Quote
