I see Qld have put their hand up for the 2020 Grand Final. Is this the year we lose it?!!

Reported on ABC radio afternoon.

    We don’t really play Thursday games so I have no real reference but I hate losing on Friday nights. Ruins the whole weekend. Never liked a Saturday loss either. Ruined Saturday nights. 

     Friday night wins are the best. 

    Friday night wins, like hens teeth?

    It’s 6:05pm. Great for people with young kids. Gives you 5 minutes to have dinner. 

    Dinner is done by then... but then you have “Dog Love Books”, followed by “Bluey”, the it is wrestle time, then clean up time then books, then bath or shower then books again and then fingers crossed sleep by 7.30 - 8pm.

    Any chance MFC members from non COVID hot spots can fly up and get a ticket for the GC or Hawks game?
     

    There should be 6,000 allowed to Giants Stadium and we all know there will be bugger all attending.

    It’s all too confusing. 6.05pm. Ridiculously stupid time. That’s 2020 for you. 

    It has something to do with the WC v ADL game starting at 3:30 so they can head home straight after, and they want a game in the 6-7:30 timeslot, before the channel seven game commences at 7:40.

    It’s another example of Dees getting dudded by AFL.  GABBA and Metricon games can have say 20-25,000 attend. A real crowd. 
     

    I’d be surprised to see 5,000 at our Suns or Hawks games.

    Honestly in this year of the virus does it matter and do we care?

    At least it’s a Saturday. Can do early dinner. Shower and movie by 6pm. Have some popcorn and shut up until the game is done.

    That post didn’t age well....

    Lockdown was a lot less painful when I didn’t have to watch Melbourne lose while stuck at home. 
    Round 2 is going to require a LOT of wine.

    Let's hope that Ch-7 put it on live,  on Ch-Mate.

    Unlikely, I would have thought. The 6.05 pm slot provides Foxtel/Kayo with an exclusive product which I can't imagine them being prepared to forego.

    Foxtel have been crying out for better games and now they have a Melbourne game they must be over the moon with excitement.

    Get Perth setup for success. My favorite to host the 2020 GF. Makes sense.  And I hate the sandgropers 

    Ditto. Will be even better for them when neither WA team will be playing?

    Grand final should be played in Darwin.

    No. Just no.

    Anyone but them.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
