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

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

I hope my daughter can stay awake for it.

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

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

She's a sneaky chance to win the Brownlow

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

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 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.

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 😂

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.

It just won’t feel like a GF 🙁

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
