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.  

Hopefully we can win this time.

We'll go in unchanged

Its celebrating Queen Victoria not the subsequent monarchs

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.

let's hope we don't have an annus horribilis.

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.
