I’m not a fan of this, Wednesday night….

Season opener should be on the Thursday, but Richmond v Blues should be bumped back, or find Richmond another opponent but they won’t because of the crowd they’ll draw.

    That really sucks, thanks AFL for thinking of all the Demon country members that have to travel 4 hours to see the unfurling of the flag and then work Thursday 

    Money hungry grubs

    17th placed Collingwood gets to launch with a Friday night game? 🥴

    I like the games / match ups just not the order.

    The club agreed to it and i don't understand why. If money was the driver (highly likely) then why not push for the Friday night game. We are well within our rights to make that demand. Not a good decision by the club at all

    Neither do I. It’s a hard sell for me. I hate it. It’s completely going to alienate fans who live far away or have small kids or work late. It’s a ludicrous choice. Friday or Saturday night would have been much better. 
     

    Also from a selfish perspective we were going to head away that week and be back for the weekend. I planned my wedding date specifically to be the week before the footy season started each year. Now they go and put us on Wednesday I can’t even have an anniversary holiday. My husband is thrilled I’m ditching him for footy again.

    If money is the driver, why combine two big events into one game?

    They would of had a large crowd for the flag unfurling and then another large crowd for a grand final rematch.

    Why, so they can have Collingwood on Friday night? What a joke, Docklands is free on Saturday have us on Friday and move Pies/Saints to Saturday. Now we have a midweek game that will make it difficult for families and others with rigid working hours to attend. Seriously, [censored] the AFL.

    Yeap in every way. Great concept but doesn’t look a great outcome. Pert, not a great one pal.

    Saints and Pies get there best slot with most viewers and best chance of a large crowd. 7:50 start and no work the next day

    all about the AFL trying to get the most viewers over 5 days to line their pockets. Nothing new I guess

    Not sure if it's a television event or a crowd grab.

    My feeling is that crowdwise it's way too much too soon and it will fall flat. TV wise it will rate well and TBH that is probably what it's all about

    As to our game what a stupid way to hobble a blockbuster

    Feels like we are sitting in Seat 1A but are still being served the economy meal.

    Just goes to show that the AFL wanted their cake and eat it too.

    Teams that finish 1st and 2nd on a Wednesday night but teams that finish 10th and 17th on Friday night?? Seriously!!

    There better be some sort of compensation from the AFL in regards to this decision in the fixture.

    Possibly another Friday night home game early in the season?

    Gee that brings back a memory.  Unprompted I got upgraded to Business Class on a flight from MEL to SYD.  By the way the attendant threw my meal at me I think they might have upgraded the wrong Mr Jontee.

    PS: I think a Wednesday night game is a stinker.

    We need to make the Club know that we aren’t happy with this decision 

    I have to take this Monday off to be able to go to the clubs celebrations tomorrow

    This club really does allow itself to get pushed around by the AFL and the network.

    And why the fuss over playing the Bulldogs round 1? I couldn't give a fig who we play as long as it's at home on a night where we can fill the ground.

    Stupid, stupid stupid decision by Pert and his crew. The network will have a field day at the expense of the supporters and members. They make a song and dance about including the members and then he does this? Bloody mental.

    True, and even worse for any Dees fans coming from interstate

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
