On the other hand, like the work of an alchemist, premiership points do turn into ratings.

which turn into increased sponsorships

    Given up until coronavirus we were going to be playing GWS I think this draw has become favourable for us. Really 3 out of 4 should be near enough to 50/50, if we can get some momentum from wins over the Blues and bombers then the cats at the G might be a chance. 

    I’d take us being 3-2 by the end of this. Good to have some footy to look forward to!

    Footy is (almost) back. Love it.

    Mark my words, (limited) crowed will be back before the end of the season too.

    The irony is that if the power clubs travel interstate this year they will be compensated next year by home games with massive dollar paying crowds.

    A wonderful pea and thimble trick

    There it is, in black and white 

    ““It certainly will allow for (Essendon and Collingwood to play in Geelong) in the fixture,” AFL fixtures boss Travis Auld said.

    “Historically, we put constraints in the fixture process so those things can’t occur because the crowds just don’t fit into that venue and too many supporters get locked out.”

    It is a decent outcome but IMHO all the games should be FTA.  I don't have Foxtel and my Sony Smart TV is only a couple of years old but is not Android so doesn't support Kayo.  If this was a normal season I would definitely be going to this match - I'm willing to pay for that but not Foxtel.  How am I supposed to see this match?

    If you're a Telstra customer I would be putting it on them to include Telstra TV box in your bundle. Otherwise you can stream straight to your computer with your log in codes.

    Why are the Quarters shorter?

    Why do the Custodians of the game keep changing rules?

    Late Quarter Goals can be huge.

    This should be the norm, especially for geelong games. I get why north/Hawks don't want to host bigger clubs (same reason we wouldn't want to host Collingwood in Darwin) but there is no reason why the shouldn't go to Geelong. Geelong wants to play them there it's the AFL forcing these games to be played at the MCG.

    love to host them up there.

    The NT govt would pay millions.

    Would prefer Alice. It would be bigger than QB as a national event

    Should finish 4 - 1 on top with a huge % at the end of round 5. I'd be happy with that.

    Should be 4-1 based on the form of a month of footy 20 months ago? ?

    Round 2 the Harley Bennell vs Jack Martin show? 

    How many more goals than Bennell does Martin have to kick to justify the difference in outlay? 

    By my calculations its at least 50 to Bennell's one.

    MFCSS dictates that Martin will now kick 50 goals

    Great winnable draw. Very happy to avoid Richmond, Collingwood and GWS. Could be a great chance to get the season off to a good start (well re-start, lets ignore Round 1).

    Sunday afternoon is a good time slot for TV. Especially now the weather is mostly awful, and we are still living with restrictions. And to have 3 of our 4 games on FTA is a win. Saints get none!

    Well I don't know it will interfere with our limited skiing schedule?.

    A premiership team needs to start the season we'll continue winning with certainty and finish the job with wins entering the finals with confidence in game plan and abilities of individuals and team.

    Good question. Two possible answers:

    1. Because shorter quarters were used in Round 1 and it keeps the game format the same for the whole season

    2. Because at some time during the rest of the season there might be a need to schedule games with shorter turn-around times

    My own view is that I don't believe (1) above is relevant but (2) might be, although the game could be played "full length" now and shortened should the need arise.

    That will be AFL House Reasoning, i agree. 
    But Hollow. There is nothing in it

    Red Time (Time on) is often when the game is at its most exciting.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
