Shorten quarters is a great ideaas we don’t have to watch melb play outstanding footy for longer especially based on the last couple of seasons. 

Bring it on. 

 

After this year, I was thinking 17 rounds (all play each other once) and then the remains rounds can be matching teams  for the finals run home to get rid of the "dead" rudder games.  It's been proven this year that a floating fixture can work. 

Plus the qtr's for need to be longer.

Notice they have snuck in a "night" GF this year too.

Is the Federal Member for Marybyrnong involved?

Shorter quarters could mean that 186 will never be beaten.

I'm sure there's a bunch of ideas that will be thrown on the table by this magnificent think tank.

So is this another Tom Browne special?

Another Tom Browne special. 

”Good luck to Dyson Heppell who had knee surgery on his ankle” 

 


What I'm really looking forward to is more 4-day turnarounds between games.  

What the game needs, more than anything else, is more off-field powerbroker factors having more influence on the actual sporting contest.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
