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.

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

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

The media would love that in terms of the history of the 2 teams.

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

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
