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.ย 

Iโ€™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 whiteย 

โ€œโ€œIt certainly will allow for (Essendon and Collingwood to play in Geelong) in the fixture,โ€ AFL fixtures boss Travis Auld said.

โ€œHistorically, we put constraints in the fixture process so those things canโ€™t occur because the crowds just donโ€™t fit into that venue and too many supporters get locked out.โ€

It is a decent outcome but IMHO all the games should be FTA.ย  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.ย  If this was a normal season I would definitely be going to this match - I'm willing to pay for that but not Foxtel.ย  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.

Fristch

Petracca

t Mac

even spread from these guys i reckon. Kozzie pitching in too

Why are the Quarters shorter?

Why do the Custodians of the game keep changing rules?

Late Quarter Goals can be huge.ย

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?ย ?

Round 2ย the Harley Bennell vs Jack Martin show?ย 

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

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

Great winnable draw. Very happy to avoid Richmond, Collingwoodย 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 certaintyย 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 relevantย but (2) might be, although the game could be played "full length" now and shortened should the need arise.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
