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??????????

Because Collingwood played us twice, and then played Geelong in their first final.

We played Collingwood, Fremantle and Brisbane twice each.

Sydney and Geelong both played the minimum (i.e. no repeat games against the final 6 sides in the H&A season). Their repeat games were ridiculously easy, although that comes with hindsight (e.g. Sydney had the Dogs, GWS and Essendon twice - the latter two made finals last year but not this year, whilst the Dogs went from runners up to barely 8th).

    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.

    Well if TV ratings are the real reasoning, this old fart finds for “neutral games”  at1950 on a Friday night unless they hold special interest or at ripping games up to half time, I switch off at the half.   Whereas for 1920 games I am far more likely to hang on.

    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 had to remind myself he was playing ( a little like Jackson actually ) because there was a swarm of magpies all over the ground and he was pretty irrelevant to proceedings

    Freo are the best traveling team in 2022 and they've got a win already at the G this year. I'd still give the edge to Collingwood but this won't be a gimme.

    Just to nit pick, we lost 2 games away all year, Freo lost 2 and had a draw. Agree with your assessment though!

    It's a valid nit pick haha. Stand corrected, 2nd best traveling team.

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

    I live in Yarraville. There was no trains going west for some reason so I had to call someone to come and collect me and my 70 year Mother from Richmond station.

    Richmond station after a game has been a disaster for 15 years.

    We have won 12 in a row on the road I thought...

    Thank you! Sydney I can understand, but Brisbane and Geelong not having harder repeat games compared to Collingwood considering the final season draw isn’t announced until what, round 16?

    I could very well be wrong, but to me however you split it, a 17th finishing Collingwood should not have played more of the top 6 sides than Geelong or Brisbane.

    God how bad is that and people wonder why some people prefer to stay home and watch.

    I think a tad longer than that.

    I remember as a young fella standing on the platform and looking at all the red rattler 'football specials' lined up down the track waiting to take the fans away.  Now that the jolimont yards are no longer there this doesnt happen.

    And having to tap on at 11pm is absolutely stupid.

    I reckon Metro trains employed Ticketek to implement the myki system.

    I've rarely bothered with trains lately. Since Covid they've been a hunk of junk and seem to either run a lot less or have replacement busses you only find out about at the last minute. So unreliable.

    Nice having 100,000 plus members imagine a Pies Vs Tigers final with 200,000 plus members trying to get tickets. Wonder if they would be allowed ten each.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
