My suggestion (the clean version) is "Stuffa Round".

'Reach' didn't make it past the selection panel

    Any danger they can release the games and times by now?

    They probably haven't worked it out yet.

    Look full credit for getting creating with the name and not being generic but it reminds me of trite company office speak and 'gathering round' for stand up meetings and that sort of rubbish.

    "The many fan ideas for the round included United Round, AFL Roadshow, Footy Fiesta, The Big Show, Family Round, Connection Round, Roving Round, Premiers Round, The Grape Escape, Hanger Round, Round Five!, AFL Mega, Celebration Round, All-in Round, Magnetic Round, Destination Round, Fanatics Round and Festival of Footy".

    How they picked 'Gather'.with those suggetions...

    Someone has a sense of humour suggesting to call it:  Round 5!

    I got an email today from the club telling me how to get tickets for this game in Adelaide.

    Is anyone looking at going to this game?

    No, prefer to go to the port Adelaide game in round 10 , when I presume I won't be gouged by inflated accommodation and flight prices.

    Sounds like good thinking. I went to 80% of the Grand Prix when it was in Adelaide. I would be surprised that there would be much accommodation left after the requirements of players, club officials and player families are catered for. I had to book a room 12 months in advance to get accommodation in Adelaide for the GP. Add in the unreliability of Airlines and it seems like a recipe for disaster to me. Why would I go to watch a side other than the Dees. I can watch another side anytime  for 6 months of the season for the cost of buying an enter ticket.

    I was surprised that the team we play in the "The Long Goodbye to Gil Round" wasn't one of the teams we play twice in the season. It seemed to me that it would make sense to have all teams playing in "The Stupid Concoction of an Idea Round" playing each other again to enable at least one of those games to be played at the home city for one of the clubs. For us, it means that we won't play Essendon in Melbourne (the city) at all in 2023. As you may gather (see what I did there?) I'm not a fan of "The AFL's Bizarre Idea to Promote the Game Round" and not being able to see a home and away game against a Melbourne club in Melbourne when it could have been so easily arranged just seems wrong.

    Great tread but isn't this bizarre afl thought bubbles title really " the virgin airline price gouging opportunity and excessive enrichment round".

    Anyone thinking of participating should have a good look at themselves.

    That's the spirit. I'm of the same thinking. Missed way too many games and special moments 2021.

    Tickets are surprisingly cheap if you want to go to multi games.

    Be interesting what sort of crowd they get for our game. I presume the crowd will be more for the Port game.

    Last time I checked, mediocre 3 or 4 star hotels are going for $400+ a night in the CBD.

    Motels in the inner suburbs are probably the way to go if you want to save some $$.

    Sounds like good solutions. To be honest I only half read it because I have no intention of going to Adelaide.

    Just checked the email. The tickets went on sale before I got the email. Not the best timing.

    I assume the Melbourne Football Club is Gryffindor? Gil is Dumbledore? Who else? Go your best.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
