Be lots of home games later on.

 

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 ...

 

Happy to play Adelaide up there too.

Fremantle v Melbourne — Saturday, July 11, 1.05pm, Metricon Stadium

West Coast v Adelaide — Saturday, July 11, 3.35pm, The Gabba

Essendon v Western Bulldogs — Saturday, July 11, 7.40pm, Marvel Stadium

Carlton v Sydney — Sunday, July 12, 3.35pm, MCG

North Melbourne v Richmond — Sunday, July 12, 6.10pm, Marvel Stadium

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.

 

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.


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.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’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 wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
