It's a $700k question

There has been nothing from Our board/Perty about our commitment so it's not a split or even us making up for the lost game previously and .$ 800k.

Purely a good chance to get national exposure on FTA TV and to show off our brand and skills near the pointy end of the season.

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

If need be I'm sure the AFL could have re-structured Round 19 to get the Dogs v Adelaide game into the Saturday (e.g. swapping it with Sydney v Fremantle, as Sydney would no longer need a six-day break into the following Friday if Melbourne v Dogs was the subsequent Friday night game).

Heard a rumour that there will be no Thursday night games until week 1 finals.

Judging by this fixture, I think that might be true.

Good riddance. 

I hate Thursday night games.

I don't mind them.

But I'd rather the dees didn't play in them. Was weird not having a game over the weekend.

I'm a footy fixturing equivalent of a NIMBY

Disaster for me as that means due to a family function and a wedding I cannot watch the GC game or go to the Bulldogs game. Devo.

Plenty of summer days available for a wedding.

Except of course on the days including the draft, and the Community series games, oh, and any special training session where the new draftees appear.

Come to think of it, a couple can skip the service and enjoy all the pitfalls of marriage by just living together and enjoying the footy, can't they?

my brother was silly enough to get married at 4.30pm on that famous last Saturday of August in 1987. He and I pretty much took ourselves (as teenagers and younger) to all the games from the mid-70s. Our extended family has been supporting the Demons from before VFL days (ie in the 1800's) - so you can imagine angst this caused.

Half the congregation stood as one and cheered in the middle of the wedding when Jason Dunstall kicked the goal at Kardinia Park, and did it again about 3 minutes later when the siren went at Western Oval. Geez it was a good reception too !

What do you hate about them?

I'm not a fan of watching the Dees play on Thursday but more than happy to watch another game on a Thursday night.

This is the most important question.

yes, if we are getting nothing from it then it's a double slap in the face for us.

 

I live in Queensland and im a bit [censored] at the GC game not being up here.

Hardly been allowed to fly down to Melbourne to see a game and then when we possibly could see the mighty Dees in person, both the QLD games have been moved. 

I dont get the move to Darwin, massive disadvantage for the following week me thinks.

Still, this group continues to prove me wrong so here's hoping it continues.


I can't imagine the game going ahead in the NT at this rate, question is whether it will even be allowed to proceed in Queensland

Hope so, as even though it’s on there home deck it won’t impact the next weeks game as Darwin would with the heat and humidity and I preemptively booked a trip to coincide with the game months back.

The NT has been the silent star of our national Covid response. Admittedly not much to deal with, but the government has pulled all the exact right levers at the exact right time, and genuinely protected our most vulnerable communities. I have it on extremely good authority that the hard border stance started out as an election measure, but since then the local government has been the most reactive and targeted in shutting borders to hotspots and then also the quickest to lift them. The recent lockdown wasn't some vague affair where people had until midday the next day to scramble across the border, but was given one hour notice. Harsh but effective. Delta variant dealt with in the space of three days. Done. Meanwhile, the NT has carried the load for international returnees without a leak as yet, and - despite some correlation between Covid community impact and vaccine uptake - is hitting inoculation rates way way above the rest of Australia. In short, this game will happen if it makes sense to happen.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
