    Agree but I did like the 1:30pm starts in the winter sunshine with half a stand to myself

    O well... progress

    Me too actually.

    Not a huge fan of night games. Hard to get a park around the G!

    And public transport is a touch more feral at 11:30pm on a Friday night than Sunday lunchtime

    I cant see them getting too many night time games.  The retirement village locks the doors 8.00pm sharp.

    They have to. OH&S issue. Can't have geriatrics mixing it up with professional footballers too much.

    Why would Collingwood playing Carlton in round 2 last year mean we're likely to play them in round 2 next year? Even if we did it would probably be their home game if we play Footscray at home in round 1 so we'd gain nothing from the gate takings.

    Its the same situation as last year, when Collingwood played Dogs on Friday night. So we don't play a team off a 5 day break so early in the year, I presume. We'll get 6 and they get 7. Can't play Tigers as we play them round 6.

    Other option is dogs play them, but we are due more prime time games.

    I think the clubs fortunes will now accelerate due to increased members, attendances and sponsorships but the must never forget the members who stood by the club through the period from 1964 to 2021.

    That we, as members, did. Not even after losing to the Filth too many times against all rhyme and reason, and more recently, Trump's plea for us all to ingest bleach, did we lose the red'nblue in our blood.

    Hi Mickey. Oh, I get it now. It's specifically if we were to play on the following Thursday night as Carlton will be the only side with the required minimum break between games. My brain has already started winding down before the weekend.

    Would love to see more Saturday afternoon or Twilight games, particularly for those with young families.

    No doubt but it won’t matter as the AFL hasn’t reduced the length of the quarter to 15mins so the [censored] cats will run out of steam again with their geriatric list. 
    Can’t wait. 
     

    GOD I HATE geelong.

    i think we were generously reward 2nd half of last year as well. We played most of our games at night from memory. 

    Still think we should get the privilege to kick start the season.

    I think we were rightly rewarded for playing exciting footy.

    I'm with you and wondered what's all the fuss about Mordor and what does it relate to and which team? Obviously I'm not a Tolkien fan.

    Courtesy of Wikipedia  "...In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth, Mordor (pronounced [ˈmɔrdɔr]; from Sindarin Black Land and Quenya Land of Shadow) is the realm and base of the evil Sauron..."

    This could be anywhere really - The hangar, Holden centre, Blundstone,  Waverley, ....

    But Kardinia Park sits nicely, especially on game-day at the ground if your a Dees fan.

    The whole land of Mordor is a dark territory and at its heart is the evil genius that is controlling everything.

     

    Thus there is one reason why the descriptor doe not apply to Geelong

    Mordor came after 186. 

    One does not simply go into Mordor and win. Not with 10,000 men could you do this; it is folly.

    But after 2021:

    Not good money spinners or ratings for the  best team in the Land 

    our days of 20,000 at the G at  home games are past and families should embrace the new time slots and money that  the Dees will deserve on the big stage,

    Friday night Games finish at about 10.20pm in Melbourne what's this 11.30 pm nonsense 

    Do you have a very slow walk to the car or station???

    And more frustration for me.

    FGS ODee embrace our success and move with the times 

    If ever the Dees are going to get back as a Big Club power like  in the 50and 60,s With no money problems then it is NOW.

    Lets take the advantages and privileges given to Top teams and never be downtrodden again!!

    By all means go to Casey but really it's a relaxing trip without any stress.

    FOr MFC membership the greatness of our Club is at the G on the  BIG stage agsin . Playing blockbusters with our stars lighting up the ground we call our own and have hardly see these champions play at for over 2 years.

    Can't believe they're persisting with this godawful matchup to start the season, year after year. When was the last time these two teams had a close match? When was the last time both were even contenders in the same year?

    Compare that to proven rivalries like Geelong v Hawks, which have yielded some cracking matches regardless of ladder position.

    The season should start on a Friday and the first game should always be the Grand Final rematch. Have a Friday double-header if you want to make an event of it, but this Thursday matchup is a proven dud.

    Why do they get 80,000 plus to a dud?

    I think you missed the point. I am frustrated with channel 7 and all their adverts. Drives me nuts. Another reason  why I prefer going to the ground.

    Night games are great for sponsorship and keeping the focus on us, but for our family supporters I'd like to see a good blend of afternoon games as well. I don't want to be like Hawthorn/Geelong/Sydney of the early 2010s who seemingly played every single week at night. I'd like a few Saturday or even Sunday afternoons at the G, ideally. But obviously we deserve and will want night games on FTA at the start of the year.

    I reckon it's 100% certain.

    The AFL will want the reprise of the Round 23 classic, given how impactful the goal after the siren was to our flag.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
