On paper you would think both home teams win but take nothing for granted in season 2022. Another thing I hope that disappears with Gill is 7.50 start times, there just horrible.

Totally agree on the 7:50 start time: too late for most kids. I get that it’s about getting people in on a Friday evening after work, but I’m sure most people could get there for 7:20. 

 

Any update on tmac post training on Saturday? Probably covered in another thread but I am not sure where...

Yep it's bloody ridiculous 

Was after midnight on Friday by the I got home with my 9 year old son. And we live all of 4 train stations away from Richmond.

Another thing that is ridiculous is just how bad it is to get into Richmond station after the game.

The AFL don't give two hoots about people who go to the game SB. It is all about TV ratings.  It was after midnight when I got home on Friday night as well, I wrote this in another thread.

MFC members 10.00AM Monday.

I have 18 hours to decide if I am going or not.

I went with No.1 wife last Friday and in spite of the loss we had a good time however our bodies were feeling the stress Yesterday.

A lot of walking and we did not get home till after midnight. I think the last time I looked at the clock it was 2.40 before I drifted off.

Another 7.50pm start, nowadays that is really pushing the odds for my aging body.

Big decision to make.

There’s absolutely nothing surer than Collingwood beating Freo next week in front of 74,000/75,000 ferals.

 

The only thing that has me unsure of Collingwood winning is Justin Longmuir should have a good idea about Collingwoods strategies. Different head coach now but the players are much the same and many assistant would still be there

No it is about TV ratings. Prime viewing time is 8 -10.30. Spectators are just collateral damage. It wont be long before all games are night games / early evening.

Not the greatest weather forecast but a few degrees warmer than last Friday.

Heading back to Melbourne in a couple of weeks after four months of 26-32 degrees every day. Looking forward to Melbourne weather lotto

Maybe take the 2nd wife this week and see if any difference??

seriously though - valid concern. 7:20 would make a difference

The most important thing is that we win and Collingwood lose 

Best would be if we win both finals and so do Collingwood and we play em in the grandfinal

Of all the disasters that have befallen our suburban footy competition Gil is the worst.

Has he done anything at all of value ?

Think most of Victoria will be barracking for freo apart from the ferals.

I think the Pies are are a very attractive and exciting team.

Not their supporters though.

I would only support Doggas team to keep Collingwood out of the G/F

The long range forecast on my weather app says showers late morning to mid arvo (11am-3pm), then no rain after that.  Obviously the forecast will become more accurate closer to the day.

Upside is that it has nailed it for our last few games at the G (Ferals, Carlton and Sydney).

Downside is - obviously not guaranteed but I’m optimistic. 🤞

We must turn our home ground advantage into a full on home crowd advantage- so for all of us that can, don’t just turn up but make some bloody noise!

Agree, Ginnivan excepted. Last game, the little twerp’s stats were (roughly speaking)
1 star jump (when someone touched his back)
3 kicks
1 tackle 
1 - 50 metre penalty 
My Collingwood mate reckons I have obsessive hatred fixation - really not sure what he is on about

After finishing 17th last year, how did Collingwood play more games against the current top 6 teams than Geelong AND Brisbane that finished in a prelim??????????

I’m not sure. Freo have the youngest team in the finals and could completely flop, but Switkowski, Schulz, Frederick, and Walters were like a pack of feral dogs last night, and if they pressure like last night Collingwoods one wood rebounding from defence might not work so well.  We have also seen first hand what Freo can do at the G when they move the ball quickly like last night.  I think they are a decent chance if they aren’t overawed.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
