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.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
