That is rubbish. Why do we deserve a 5 day break and why do Essendon get a Friday night game? 

Exactly, what an absolute joke we should be Friday night, we are game of the round. Essendon really give me the [censored].

    Crowd is capped at 50%

    And 25k can go

    https://www.adelaideoval.com.au/news/25000-crowd-capacity-confirmed-for-saturday/

    50% for the Crows v Lions no word on Crowd size for Thursday Night. I would say without any knowledge that it should be at least 75% if not 100%.

    I see no reason why it wouldnt be 100% with no community transmissions, the 5 cases who were in NT did the right thing and quarantined as soon as they got home.

    It's a COVID restricted event so no chance for Victorians to attend, only 1000 allowed in.

    Those 1000 will have to sing "They Will Never Tear Up The Tarps".

    Correct daisycutter. Not sure why some are complaining as basically we have a half day extra rest than Port. No injuries for us tomorrow please.

    The AFL and Channel 7 want Thursday night games (apparently some fans do too, personally I don't know why).

    Once you require a Thursday night game there's no other reasonable option (keeping the two teams' breaks even) other than us and Hawthorn v Fremantle.

    Essendon are also the media darlings right now, with the perception they'll kick a lot of goals, plus Adelaide are going well enough that I imagine plenty of fans in SA will be watching.

    As long as it's the last time for this season we can live with it. They should be fit enough, but of course injuries now become really problematic.

    Hopefully our round 18 and 19 fixtures offer an 8 day break

    I feel the same as some others here. Druggies and crows on the friday night is ridiculous. Wonder if the druggies play the blues again coz those 2 media darlings will get the best time slot.

    I also don’t get why anyone likes or wants Thursday night footy. It’s a massive inconvenience for literally anyone who adults. Just the worst.

    Wait until they lose by 15 goals tonight!

    I wouldn't mind seeing that at all, but Geelong were rubbish last week against the Lions and if they dish up the same again tonight, it could well be a 15 goal Bombers win tonight too.

    A win win situation an alot of ways really.

    Why can't they play Ess/Adel on FNF? I know they want a TNF game but FNF is still the prime timeslot for the week that should be showcasing the best game.

    Any idea what time the game will start?
    Assume 7:50 Melbourne time with 30 minute time difference?

    Edit: club just confirmed it. 7:40 start time.

    What? There goes my trip to Adelaide! Maybe.

    For the life of me i wasn't been able to find any info about crowds at the footy in Adelaide (as i was planning on going). Not on the SA gov website or on multiple news sites

    Eventually checked the Adelaide oval website. The crows lions game this weekend is capped at 25k.

    No changes to restrictions today, so who knows how many will be able to go next Thursday.    

    so was I Binnny

    Gold coast next for me

    I love Thursday night footy, mainly because it means the Front Bar is on a day earlier.

    But the ratings have slid for Friday nights with some dud games and the later 7.50 start too late a timeslot.

    Thursday night at 7.25 start will please our sponsors. Everyone's home and watching hopefully.

    Thursday night games a re seen as preferable to Friday apparently - bigger viewing audience.

    It seems to me that no one likes TNF as a spectacle to go to. People who like it seem to like having footy on the TV on a Thursday night.

    That's precisely why TNF exists, and precisely why I hate it.

    If Friday night ratings/crowds are down, maybe stop with the 7.50pm starting time and bring it forward to 7.20pm.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
