    Doesn't make any sense to me either for tonight or for a GF.  Surely if the AFL just has to drop the afternoon GF (for fear of not maximising $ or whatever), then a normal night game is far more sensible than 4:30pm.

    That will happen a few years later. 

    We want a Day game, the Broadcaster wants a night game. 

    The change will slowly happen

    Just at the Sydney airport waiting to fly back to Melbourne, I think a lot of people have seriously underestimated the level of support the Giants have. I have seen four people in Giant Jumpers.

    But I don't see how doing it gradually makes any sense: 4:35, 5:00, 5:30:6:30, 7:30???    It's not something that can be achieved by creeping up on us.  Or are we boiling frogs?

    I want a Day game. But the NRL Final has shown Ch 7 what they will have in time. 

    4.35 will become 7.30

    Money on it

    Is todays timeslot due to GWS able to get home tonight if they win so they aren't staying in melbourne another night? Because if it was at night they wouldn't get back in time for the sydney airport curfew.

    But go gws today. I just don't think I could survive a week of a rich/coll gf build up. Last year I went to sydney to get out of the gf for the weekend, this year I can't afford to go anywhere plus I have to work the next day.

    I thought that might be it but wanted confirmation.

    Begs the question of why today's game was not played last night and R v G tonight

    That might be the AFL's thinking and fair enough too but, if so, there's no reason the game couldn't be played at the usual 2.10 or even 2.30 timeslot.   4.35 makes no sense at all to me.

    RWC; wallabies vs Fiji at 2:45.

    The Filth on our home ground fighting for yet another Flag

    Still blame hawthorn for giving the pies an easy ride to the prelim with gifting them a  top 4 chance. Seeing Joffa and all the filth fans walking over the bridge chanting just makes you want to throw up. Hopefully he is looking miserable at the end. Ed to in the stands, hopefully he is looking angry. 

    Interesting to hear David Teague and some of the carlton players were there last night obviously wanting to see his players gain insight to what finals footy is about. I know we were in a prelim last year but some of our young boys that haven't had finals experience hopefully have tuned in to see what finals is all about.

    Mummy has nothing to lose ...he needs to be his usual 'crash in' self to put Grundy off a tad

    Cameron plays the way I always hoped Hogan would for us.

    Can goal and can play a dominant chf role when needed

    Leave Tomlinson and throw a giant bucket at Cameron next year a la Gazza's suggestion?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
