That's what I thought last year.

They can't sack Buckley again though!

    From memory, and this might be wrong, Pert simply asked the AFL if we could have a home game vs the Dogs in Round 1 to unfurl the flag (e.g. see here).

    I'm not sure we asked for it to be a Wednesday night, and indeed I reckon if we'd been given the choice we'd have asked for a Friday night.

    As to Gil, he will do what Channel 7 want him to do, because the AFL needs Channel 7's money. 7 want more night games, so 7 will continue to get more night games. 

    Seems pretty clear from the article that we backed the Wednesday game so as to be the first game

    Absolutely they did.

    Again, not sure if you're backing up your argument all that well. I've highlighted your this part in particular. 

    2013 -  they won by 15 points against Freo who never looked like winning on the day. The first half Fremantle kicked a total of 1.6 which was horrible display on the big stage.

    2014 - Hawthorn smashed Sydney by 74 points. Folded like a beach chair as you say.

    2015 - flogged West Coast by 46 points. Game was pretty much over in the first quarter after Hawthorn kicked 5 goals straight to West Coast 1.3. At 3 quarter time Hawthorn were in front by 50 points. West Coast absolutely folded and were cooked 25 minutes into the first quarter.

    Realistically how is this any different to Richmond?

    Adelaide and GW$ didn’t even bother to turn up. They were far worse than the Whorethorn games, particularly GW$

     

    Geelong moving the ball much quicker than last year

    I can never Support anything Jeelong either 

    This has the look of a 100 point shellacking. Men and against boys so far

    Hawkins could kick ten today. Essendon struggling to account for his size and strength.

    Soz, Forgot who I was talking to 😁

    What an awful quarter of football.

    Disgusting to watch.

    Game over already. 

    how do the Cats do it every year? They are missing 5 from their 22 too

    Well we will just need to smash them in a prelim again I guess.

    Good start by the cats

    Too bad they can't play Essendon in finals.

    Wednesday night was fantastic, i'm not complaining but it would have been great if we were playing our game in the 2pm slot today. A beautiful Saturday afternoon at the G to unfurl the flag, bring the kids, perfect conditions for footy and enjoy a few beers while watching. And i'm sure we would have got even more Dees fans along.

    Grand final replay was the only way Gil could justify a Wednesday Night game. It was all about & and Foxtel. 

    Essendon too many vanilla players

    What lol

    Adelaide were 2 goals up at quarter time and only 2 goals down at at half time. They were absolutely right in the game going into the 3rd quarter. 

    The GWS game is absolutely no different to the Hawthorn's 2014 gran final. Both games were were over at quarter time.

    All Hawthorn's grand finals the opposition were pretty much done in the first quarter.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
