Watching all the coverage with the family. My youngest asked if the Queens Birthday traditional match will be switched over to a “Kings Birthday” match.  

my response “Yes I think so”.  

If we continue to have the traditional Monday holiday, to respect the current schedule and in a way start a new tradition. Maybe Charles III could be in attendance.

    So now that the Queen's birthday matches are at an end, what was the final tally?

    Looking forward to another afternoon of "COOO-LLLL-IIIII-NNNN-GGGG-WWW-OOOO-DDD' 

    and "'USA - USA - USA- USA""

    And Pies supporters inevitably  booing Petracca or Oliver when they get awarded the Neale Daniher medal despite same supporters getting offended when Pendlebury got booed on the same stage on Anzac Day.

    Other than that I love going to Pies v Dees games of late.

    From 2002 - 2022 when QBDAY game became a staple in the fixture:

    We were 6-13-1 and that includes the 2021 SCG game

    We were 4-2 after 2007.

    For the record we beat them in 1993, 1996 and 1999, and didn't lose to them in the 1990's.

    State Government media release (see above in this thread) states it will still be the second Monday in June. Just a name change - nothing more.

    It would be even better if he participated in the Big Freeze. It might guarantee his popularity for the length of his reign.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
