The G has not been our friend this year.

 

Last Time we were at the G, we won…and that was with Frost, Spargo, Garlett, and Hannan in the side.

That's a much more Richmond-esque amount of pace and it really helped us. As long as we select properly, the MCG won't be a negative for us any longer IMO.

I don't mind Sunday.  We can manipulate a loss if it suits us.

Cue the tanking investigation if we did, especially if we went on to win the premiership.

I could see the AFL taking a flag off us for such a move.

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

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

Carlton game should be under the darkness at MARS stadium

Surprised Carlton haven't been served up another Fri night game.

That would be a fantastic result because losing round 23 matches is definitely a strength of ours...

Happy with the timeslot, scared about the possible Sunday night heartbreak. Makes Monday that little bit harder.

4pm sunday game seems totally out of character? It's always been etihad 1pm, 3:20 sunday game no? I think the AFL [censored] are giving a team one last crack at us if we somehow are hinging on the result.

In that scenario, all you have to do is drink a skinfull of alcohol Sunday night and call in sick on Monday.

I'm dreading that St Kilda v North game. Hopefully we have it stitched up by then. If we have to rely on St Kilda to beat or keep North's percentage down then St. Kilda would have screwed us twice in one year. *

* Yeah I know it will have been self inflicted but I have to blame someone.

At the beginning of the season we had  a game plan with three talls, which works really well at the docklands, it does not work well at the MCG. You need totally different game plans at both grounds, Jennings is paid good money how he  and the coaches can't work this out is beyond me.

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.

Recovery time from the Perth trip is more important to us, than before a final, if we make it, as there is a bye before the first round of the finals, so Saturday game or Sunday game in the last round is irrelevant with regards to finals

Good idea but it would be nice to keep a few sick day bullets In the chamber for September ?

Lets just hope the umpires aren’t in it with the tv rights owners to make rd 23 ‘interesting’

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

Yeah...I had the brain in neutral there. Forgot about the bye.
