    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.

    I really hope we don't have to sweat on the final game (St. Kilda vs North Melbourne) again.

    Win games and it aint a problem. 

    We should be aiming top 4...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
