    There isn't a supporter base that I despise more. As dirty as I feel saying this, if we lose this week, I really hope that Hawthorn go over there and knock them off.

    Could technically fly in, fly out to save on accommodation costs...

     

    One week at a time!

    Have to say the winner of Collingwood v GWS has been screwed over, having a 6 day break over a team with a 2 week break is a massive disadvantage. AFL clueless again.

    I think the winner of our game having a 8 day break isn't necessarily and bad thing, still have 7 days until he GF.

    Yeah an 8 day break is probably perfect. I think having the comp wide bye and then another bye is actually a slight disadvantage.

    We have definitely fallen on the better side of the draw. Hopefully we can make use of it!

    Absolutely.  If they win they can be back at Tullamarine by Midnigh AEST.  Thus sleeping in their own beds.

    For once a good call under the circumstances by the AFL.

    Could easily apply to the Poos and Wees too.

    Absolutely. Eddie let loose over it on the MMM interview before Roosy and Jones were in. As much fun as it is watching/listening to Ed explode, he was spot on.

    Auld did not handle it well. I mean he did, but he didn't.

    I just hope there is less glare compared to when we played them over there last time (for either Hawthorn or Melbourne).

    It’s exactly the same start one as our round 22 win at Optus. 

    If you can recall, the team got royally screwed over and the plane was delayed by over 3 hours coming home that Sunday night.

    i won't tell a lie. This line from Sam McClure's (who cannot stand for some reason) article on the  prelim timing gave me a bit of a pause:

    The AFL is set to fixture its first afternoon preliminary final in seven years to ensure either Melbourne or Hawthorn can return home on Saturday night and have as much time as possible to prepare for the grand final, should they beat the Eagles.

    Yikes.

    Why not stay the night and fly the next morning. After the win I slept soundly in my hotel bed and was refreshed for the flight home the next morning. Mind you I didn't play and didn't need to train or back it up the next week.

    It’s a good question... I travel a lot for work and struggle to be fully rested when staying an extra night versus getting home late and hopping into my own bed.

    I guess it’s done to last minute nowadays.

    Does anybody know a way to get a ticket to the prelim IF we do make it?

    My situation is that I am an MCC member, and pay the extra $90 for the MFC membership on top - which includes no game day access, so I assume I won't have access to any finals tickets IF we make it.

    that will entitle you to participate in the club allocation. Presumably there are certain categories that are guaranteed tickets and then it goes to all club members such as yourself. I am in the same position as an AFL member with club support.

    I have no idea what the club allocation is but I could not imagine it being less than 10k. Now realistically how many members will go to Perth. I think it will be the travel difficulties that knock out most of us.

    Of course you have to pay for the match ticket but given airfares north of $1k it's not the ticket costs that will hurt.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
