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.

It just won’t feel like a GF 🙁


Been to plenty of them at the South Melbourne ground. now that was an experience, at my tender age back then, trying to go home late at night after a few beers.

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 will be in her element into the wee hours of the morning.😂

Thanks Gillion and clear your throat before you speak

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.

not night game, mazer, more half'n'half......like 2 separate games

make it either a day or a night game but not some stupid shandy

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.

Per my earlier post, Jaded, look at twilight record😁


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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
