    Lol this is a joke. 3 interstate games in 6 rounds. One home game all year thus far. 
    And back to back interstate games. 

    We better get a dream MCG home game run in the lead to finals.

    True, could be handy in the run home.

    Unless we have to play home games interstate.

    We have to have 8 home games at the G as part of the financial deal, so that means 7 games at the G left after round 7.

    The back to back interstate games off a 6 day break is what really ticks me off. Only Melbourne would get bent over this way. 
     

    We couldn’t be a bigger afterthought for the AFL if we tried.

    Don't let a West Coast supporter hear you say that...

    Round 6 Freo at Metricon, Saturday arvo I think.

    3/5 interstate so far.

    Also 1/6 home games if thats the case.

    Geez we are being looked after arent we? Guess we should expect a lot of home games in the run home*.

     

    *i made a joke

    This is outrageous. Of the first six rounds, only one home game - assuming we stay up north for another week, that would make it 1 out of 7. As a bottom six finisher last year, we should be expecting 9 home and 8 away games. If the club doesn’t demand that then it will struggle for members going forward. Weak as ...

    Yup... I'm not bothered at all to play Fremantle in QLD, and would be perfectly fine staying up there to play both the Crows and Port too.

    Much less of an "interstate" game than playing them at Optus/Adelaide Oval, their actual homes, in front of a crowd.

    As for away games in VIC, are they really away games if there is no one in the stand? What's the difference, other than who controls all the LED boards around the boundary?

    Only true away games in VIC this season is GMHBA and we avoided that.

    Don't really get the melts, tbh..

    As a Queenslander this is great news .

    Maroochydore is a good two hours from Metricon to the earlier comment.

    We will be getting all MCG games in the back half of the season unless the AFL give us all home games at Etihad which is possible as they cant be trusted.

    At least we dont have to go to Perth again.

     

  • Quote

    The Freo game is listed as an away game, which is a good sign, as it means we will probably only get 1-2 more away games interstate. (We may play home games in the NT.)

    Also we haven’t really had a good record at the MCG under Goodwin.

    We play better at Etihad than the G.

    I'm cool with Collingwood and Geelong playing home games over in WA, so long as any gate takings/profit end up in a big pool to share around the whole league.  These are probably two of the clubs that least need finacial assistance.  Similar for the other interstate sides where crowds are allowed.

  • Quote

    Eddy would be happy going to the hub in Perth

    1. Collingwood will get three interstate matches with only one lot of travel

    2. Having Geelong in the hub means no trip to the cattery

    3. Playing in front of crowds good for sponsors with these games guaranteed prime time slots

    4. will give Collingwood a run of games at the g later

    5. Eddy will brag Collingwood put their hand up for the good of football

    6. Ensures Collingwood play on MCG size ground which suits their game style. The pies would likely struggle on the smaller grounds due to lack of space and harder to play their possession game

     

    i do not think Eddy is doing this for the good of footy there are many advantages for the pies in this

    Mainly,  I think due to poor outside run and pace.   Skills as well.

    We have addressed some of this.

    Throwing up a thought, if hypothetically we could have a full crowd in Alice Springs, and bearing in mind that Tourism NT are one of our key sponsors, would people be keen for us to have a home match up there?

    My personal thoughts are that in this crazy world of ours if we could have a scenario of having a game with a crowd there vs an empty MCG I would take Alice Springs with both hands.

    At the end of Round 6, this is the tally of interstate games for Victorian clubs:

    1. St Kilda - 0 (just Marvel and the MCG for their first six games)
    2. Carlton - 0 (but they did go to Geelong)
    3. North Melbourne - 1
    4. Essendon - 1
    5. Richmond - 1
    6. Geelong - 1
    7. Collingwood - 1
    8. Bulldogs - 1
    9. Hawthorn - 1 (plus Geelong)
    10. Melbourne - 3

    And on the home/away ledger, we'll be 1-5. Richmond will be 2-4, all other Victorian clubs will be either 3-3 or 4-2.

    So this should, in theory, mean that in the last 11 games of the year, other Victorian clubs should be doing the heavy lifting in terms of interstate trips. And we should be getting a good slate of home games (hopefully at the MCG) too, given we need to have either 7 or 8 of our last 11 as home games.

    We will be in a really good position if we can win 2 of the Geelong/Sydney/Freo games.

    I dont know about you guys but I am ready to sneak up and steal the 2020 flag.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
