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:

    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: 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
