As predicted, the Darwin fiasco has led to us losing the Friday night against the Dogs in Round 20, with a Saturday night game given instead. So Essendon v Sydney gets the Friday night slot.

Should at least be on Channel 7.

Friday, July 23
Port Adelaide v Collingwood at Adelaide Oval, 6.45pm ACST

Saturday, July 24
Hawthorn v Brisbane at the MCG, 1.45pm AEST
Sydney v Fremantle at GMHBA Stadium, 1.45pm AEST
Essendon v GWS Giants at Marvel Stadium, 4.35pm AEST
Gold Coast v Melbourne at TIO Stadium, 6.55pm ACST
West Coast v St Kilda at Optus Stadium, 5.40pm AWST

Sunday, July 25
Western Bulldogs v Adelaide at Mars Stadium, 12.40pm AEST
Geelong v Richmond at the MCG, 1.45pm AEST
Carlton v North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium, 4.40pm AEST

Round 20

Friday, July 30
Essendon v Sydney at Marvel Stadium, 7.50pm AEST

Saturday, July 31
North Melbourne v Geelong at Blundstone Arena, 1.45pm AEST
Brisbane v Gold Coast at the Gabba, 3.20pm AEST
St Kilda v Carlton at Marvel Stadium, 4.35pm AEST

    Still pisses me off that the GC game has changed. 

    How the fruit tingle do collywobbles get a Friday night game.

    What a joke.

    Is the spin off in having prime time viewing slots being able to attract club sponsors or is there some sort of a direct monetary correlation ? 

    I'd guess that both those games would now be the free to air Channel 7 matches with those time slots. Thankfully I'll be at the second one and won't have to listen to BT & Brayshaw.

    Why? The Suns are giving up their home game. It’s probably a bit of an advantage to us to play them at a neutral venue.

    It's just annoying that we miss out on a friday night game because we have to play in darwin. 

    I mean come on the top 2 teams most likely get shafted to the Saturday night game and essendon get another free hit on a friday night. 

    As I said it wouldn't happen to collingwood or richmond or geelong if they were on top and have been for the season.

    Fair enough though, after their great win against the Crows, aren't Essendon back to premiership favourites?

    The game time is most likely driven by The Dogs playing Sunday.

    Never befriend anyone who gets married during the footy season. 

    I don’t think we will get less people at the game being a Saturday night. In fact I think we will get more. It’s a much more family friendly and work friendly time slot. And still FTA exposure. Really no complaints and most importantly we get a decent break after that joke of a fixture in round 19!

    Our flights back from GC were changed from Saturday arvo on the 31st to Sunday arvo on the 1st, so my family and I got dudded twice.

    I don't get what the difference is between free-to-air on a Friday night and free-to-air on a Saturday night. Both are equally attractive to me.

    The worst scheduling is the Saturday twilight "pink women" game this weekend. Ruins the whole idea with the poor timeslot.

    They could have switched the Dogs to Saturday and Syd/Freo to Sunday

    Friday night is one game national telecast.

    Saturday night... two games split telecast

    Guess what our sponsors like

    Not sure if this has been asked before, but with our contract of one game in NT each season, does the GC game count, and we'll be paid in full as per contract?

    This is the most important question.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
