The Herald Sun have just revealed when Grundy and the Dees will play Collingwood, but it's behind a paywall.

Would find it amusing if you signed up and paid to see the article only for the Herald Sun to announce it's the Kings Birthday.

My first thoughts exactly.

    Funny you mentioned that.

    The article says it will be Round 13  with King's Birthday  game on Monday June 12.

    (No, I didn't sign up to pay for that info!)

    Does the article say that we will play them again in the last few rounds?

    Dont be too cynical, they might come up with more groundbreaking news like Collingwood might play Essendon on Anzac Day :)

    Happy just to play them once next year excluding finals.

    Losing to them twice in the one year was soul destroying in front of 50K filth each time. I find Pies supporters as a collective to be far too much to handle when they're up and about. Kind of felt like they willed their team over the line in our round 21 game.

    Yup was a zoo in the Afl both games.

    But a good part of our profit is because 50000 Collingwood paid for tickets at our home game.

    Also think they just as likely to be a poor team next season so playing them twice won't be too bad.

    Can already see our double ups coming against low drawing Vic teams and interstate teams. Some [censored] like Freo, Port, WB, geelong, Brisbane and Sydney

    Can't get behind the paywall but just saw this on HS website:

    Good Friday club dumped for Vic powerhouse

    "The AFL will thrust one of the biggest clubs in the league into the Good Friday limelight in a bid to add some extra spice to the annual public holiday game".

    Any guesses?

    My guess is Essendon for North/Saints.

    Just doesn't seem fair whoever it is being dumped.

    Spoiler Alert 🚨: It’s Carlton

    I was wrong on both clubs.

    Really glad North are still in it.  They lost the Friday nights they pioneered decades ago and it would be inappropriate for them to lose GF now.  They need the leg up.  As for Carlton.  Just as bad as Ess getting the GF gig!

    I think it is Available but geelong don't want to play there until the stands completed, more money more money, that is what fixture is all about.

    We didn't have to travel there in 2017 - only because their stands were being re-developed.

    Oh and in 2020 the AFL were nice enough not to schedule us there (in the revised lock down fixture where nobody could attend the MCG!)

    all these contrived blockbuster clashes got me thinking

    how about this?

    • "The Filth Cup"                      Colliwobbles vs Whorethorn
    • "The Scum Cup"                   Essenscum vs Carlscum
    • "The Gentlemen's Cup"       Melbourne vs Geelong"
    • "The Mariner's Cup"            Port Adelaide vs Flogmantle
    • "The Ex-Pat's Cup"              Sydney vs Brisvegas
    • "The Non-Entities Cup"       GWS vs Gold Coast
    • "The Over-There Cup"         Radelaide vs Meth Coke
    • "The Working Man's Cup"  Footscray vs Norf Melbourne
    • "The Feral's Cup"                Richmond vs St.Kilda 

    make your suggestions

    Hi LH. I think I read earlier in this thread that it’s Adelaide v Carlton, Port v Dogs and one other I can’t quite remember.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
