Sunset 6.14 in Perth, so an hour of 'daylight'. How's our 'twilight' record?

    I hope my daughter can stay awake for it.

    I have no concerns for Nadia Bartel, she will stay awake to see it.

    I hope this isn't the AFL trying through underhanded means to navigate to a permanent night grand final.

    They had a chance to let Perth have it at normal time and give it to us in twilight. The AFL are obsessed with pushing the night grand final and from what I saw online the reaction was overwhelmingly negative

    She's a sneaky chance to win the Brownlow

    They're running their hands together and chortling at AFL house. And raising a glass to the pandemic. They got their night grand final by stealth, as planned, without the stealth part.

    I’m neither here nor there on this one, but @Demonland I’m looking for our win loss record stats in night games this year please 😂

    I don't want to hear anymore about the AFL 'making the best of a bad situation'. This is about the 5th next best thing. 

    Ah well, at least we'll get 5 extra tv viewers in Los Angeles at 2am..

    Ugh last year the day dragged on and if we make it this year that Saturday will feel like the longest day of our lives. I remember in 2017 going to see the storm in the nrl gf and I flew into Sydney on the day but it was just doing things during the day to keep busy and if anyone has been around the Sydney Olympic park precinct there isn't a lot to do. 

    Why couldn't it start at 4:15 there time. Who acres about the news just put it on after, or why couldn't we go a day gf. I couldn't care less about the entertainment. I'd watch it night or day and I really do not care about the lights. 

    I get sick of people trying to make it like the superbowl. The superbowl to me is about ads, entertainment then the game.

    If we make it, I’ll be drunk by 1pm and will need a sobering nap to get me thru to 7pm.

    If we make it, I don’t like it. I’ll be stuck at home with the family and won’t really be able to get into it with a 3yr old and a 6yr old in bed by the first qrt.

    I hear ya re the lights - the way they carry it's like they only just got electricity. The roar of the crowd and the colour and passion of the fans is better than some computer program.

    Our last 'grand final' win was at night, WCW, and boy did that feel like a grand final win for the success starved!

    Getting ahead of myself though...

    10-1-1.

    Loss against Dogs in round 19

    Draw against Hawthorn in round 18

    1 loss in the 1:45 slot (GWS)

    1 loss in the 3:20 slot (Collingwood)

    1 loss in the 4:40 slot (Adelaide)

    I’ll get back to you on how our record is in Perth grand finals, specifically the 5:10pm WST time slot.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
