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.

Jeez the days of easily getting a drink at the bar are long gone...

Can you please explain Mordor? Haven't heard it before.

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.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
