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.

If the cricket test is any guide.... for crowds a lot less than than they will be anticipating for the Harry Potter Round... literally everywhere is booked out including the Barossa Valley

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

I thought that Gil was Voldemort.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
