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

Saturday, July 31
North Melbourne v Geelong at Blundstone Arena, 1.45pm AEST
Brisbane v Gold Coast at the Gabba, 3.20pm 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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
