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.

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.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
