Calls to Swap our Rd 01 Game to Marvel

Forget the AFL clubs, they aren’t all that important, it’s the AFL’s relationship with the MCC and their relationships as owners of Marvel with the companies they deal with that matter.

When combined with the egg on face on fixing a problem that shouldn’t have happened to begin with the games were never going to be swapped. 

There’s still time to find other ways to move Essendon and Hawthorn if they really want. Swapping it with North v Port the next day and moving it to the G is the obvious one. Just have to give 7 a slight IOU for moving their Saturday night game to Bris-Sydney.

    My opinion on this can be summed up in these famous words from Jethro Tull.

    Essendope can lie in the cesspool of their own greed and the deal made with Marvel.

    Thick as a Brick, Part 1

    Really don't mind if you sit this one out
    My word's but a whisper your deafness a shout
    I may make you feel but I can't make you think
    Your sperm's in the gutter your love's in the sink
    So you ride yourselves over the fields
    And you make all your animal deals
    And your wise men don't know how it feels
    To be thick as a brick
    And the sandcastle virtues are all swept away
    In the tidal destruction the moral melee
    The elastic retreat rings the close of play
    As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way
    But your new shoes are worn at the heels
    And your suntan does rapidly peel
    And your wise men don't know how it feels
    To be thick as a brick
    And the love that I feel is so far away:
    I'm a bad dream that I just had today
    And you shake your head
    And said it's a shame

    Was never going to happen  because of reserved seating arrangements already locked for each of the clubs, and covid restrictions. 

    The clubs are going to have more than enough problems allocating and spacing that reserved seating at the grounds they already use as "homes".   

    Marvel doesn't fit into MCG because of Medallion club, and MCG doesn't fit into Marvel, because of Medallion club.

    The Medallion Club is something that needs to be fixed.

    Often half empty it takes up the majority of the prime viewing space.

    At the MCG the AFL area is often reduced for Essendon games as their members reserved seating areas are in the Southern Stand.

    This is the headline etc on the AGE at the moment:

    No change: Bombers clash with Hawthorn to remain at Marvel

    The AFL have rejected Essendon’s request to move their round one fixture with Hawthorn from Marvel Stadium to the MCG, meaning less fans will be able to attend the match.

    Shows where where are in the pecking order i reckon. As it should read:

    The AFL have rejected Essendon’s request to move their round one fixture with Hawthorn from Marvel Stadium to the MCG, meaning less fans will be able to attend the match BUT DEMON FANS CAN WATCH THEIR TEAM AT THEIR HOME GROUND NOT TH E OLD SOULESS JOKE OF AN AFL GROUND - JOKELANDS

    I hope the bombers enjoy traveling in round 2 to lose to Port, Marvel again V Saints, then SCG, and then the Gabba to lose aginast the Lions. Even Cardinia park later in the season.

    Suck on a fat one dons

    I suspect Essendon already knew it wouldn't happen. Strengthens my view that it's all part of Essendon's long game to move to the MCG as a permanent tenant.

    You'd think journalists would know the difference between number and mass.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
