When are teams out? FFS I can't be patient anymore lol 

I'm really not a fan of losing the traditional Thursday 6:30 time timeslot for team announcements.

 

 

May as well not name the teams. Just rock up and see who runs out.

    Pretty sure they will be released at 6 25 pm on the worst website in the world, afl.com

    It's generally the biggest talking point week to week for supporters.

    For an AFL that has been masterful at dominating the media landscape it feels like a misstep to have done this. Disagree it makes no difference to supporters, it pretty obviously does, I mean we're 9 pages deep here just on one game, and that's without having the actual teams.

    My point Nev is that if the clubs were forced to name teams 3 or 4 days before a match they would be a work of fiction, probably given to the office boy to make up. The real teams would still be decided a day before a match. So fans would be none the wiser.

    Edit. Clubs cannot know who is playing when you have 1 or 2 training sessions prior to a match.

    Sounds like the injury report!

    This - 1000%. I don’t understand what’s been gained for any consumer of the game?

    Considering that the clubs generally pick their teams on a Tuesday with a proviso on 1 or 2 being fit enough to play,  not getting the teams until the day before is an unnecessary delay

    If anything, we could get the weekend teams as early as a Wednesday evening.  If there are a few late changes so what?  We've had that scenario for decades anyway (late changes)

    The rest of it all is just ducks & drakes with the AFL kowtowing to the coaches (again)

    You have to wonder who actually runs the sport these days

    It's Covid  related Same as last year the day before at 6.25.pm

    Sure, and I'm not advocating for 4 days before, just saying that it seems a missed opportunity by the AFL to not go back to the Thursday night teams, especially given how well they usually dominate the news cycle. Have a heard a stack of supporters comment about this now.

    Well Tommy has been accurate! And what will Hibbo do up Forward? Kick straighter? No he is a back man and must wait his chance.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
