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: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
