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.

Got the same email but only saw it after work today. Indicated that I had to redeem by 4pm today. Have i misread this or Is this correct I have missed out on the opportunity - I'm confused maybe I need to glass of read or maybe I need a holiday. Actually I will do both.

Going …got 2  day pass …accom booked …can’t wait !! Missed so many games over Covid so every opportunity I’m going to try and get there !! 

Was going to say I'd be surprised if there's that much accom going round. Might have to bring in cruise ships.

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.

I thought that Gil was Voldemort.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • 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?
