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.  

 
 

Its celebrating Queen Victoria not the subsequent monarchs

Why would he want to come to the footy ffs?

Maybe we'll be a Republic

Hopefully the name change improves our fortunes because I’m sick and tired of losing to the pies

This might make you feel even worse:

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.

The Usher of the Black Rod could arrive from Canberra to give him the shove

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
