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.

Some thoughts: 2023 is the 8th consecutive year we've played West Coast in Perth. We haven't played them in Melbourne since 2014 We haven't played Essendon twice in a season since 2005

Meh.  Anybody, anywhere, anytime. I'm particularly looking forward to our 2.30pm timeslot on Saturday 30th September.

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!)

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

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

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!

Kardinia Park unavailable first half of the season

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.

God forbid we'd have a season where we didn't have to travel to bloody Geelong!

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

So what if you did? I have been buying/ reading the Hun for 65 years. Currently I have an electronic subscription $1 day seems a good deal to me.

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.

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
