It’s a much better fixture than last year but FFS Geelong in Geelong. How do we agree to this BS every year????

Geelong did well. 
hashtag no surprise. 
We get the pleasure of playing them at that [censored]-hole on a Thursday night again. Yay!

No need to look at a fixture to know that.

We are doomed to play there every year forever.

We have avoided Kardinia Park once or twice in the last 30 years.

Now that we have a much larger membership, the excuse for it is long gone.

Geelong in geelong again

[censored] off

Not counting Covid year - that's 7 out of 8 seasons and 13 from 15. 

Enough already!

Seriously any chance we could play West coast on our ground?

Thank goodness we only play Essendon & Collingwood once. 

The first four weeks are tough.

At least we have some afternoon games

North in tassie.

Yep

probably pouring rain and howling winds turns an easy game into a low scoring slog.

Why not under the roof at Docklands

Don't mind the Tassie game. Already decided to turn it into a holiday. 

AFL membership is now great value, with 9 games interstate or at Geelong. So probably restricted to 13 games at most.

That is the most interstate games I can recall, plus the dump in Geelong.


Honestly I thought once we won the premiership wed never have to go down to Geelong again. I'm guessing we are always destined to play there. 

Well we should at least be able to play them on our ground later on. 

Yet again we only get 'half' a bye. R13 Collingwood on June 12, R14 BYE, R15 Geelong Thur June 22.  Just 10 days like last year.

Why?

Most are complaining about the announcement "colliding with" the Socceroos!!

Really in fact the AFL had arranged the Round1 announcement  clearly before the FIFA game occurred and is committed to two further dates this week to complete up to Round15 by Thursday. What did  the complainants do  while the soccer game was on? Presumably most were at home watching somewhere and had access to a phone or newspaper with a casual glance sufficient at first and in-depth read after the game.

If fans can't separate 2 items in their life like earlier today I hate to visualise the mess their diaries are in.

For the record we play Western Bulldogs on SAT 18 March 2023 at the MCG a Home Game at 7.25pm. 

Now all of us can go back to our tapes of Tracey Grimshaw's last show oh No I just realised I taped over it with the last race from Dapto Dogs on that night. Life is just so complicated with all these modern devices  like recorders and iPhones!! No wonder they say we men can't do 2 things at once!!! 

Just get there in Round1 folks when we spoil Bevo's extended contract news and enable Hunter and Schache and Brodie to play freely in their first games for their new Club. Wonder if their recycled No3 ( Cody W ) is still ducking his head? 

I used to be able to do two things at once all the time.In fact that was the only way it could be done

Rab are you going?  I would never go to Adelaide to the footy. I went once not long after The crows joined the comp. Their fans made the pies and bombers look like choir boys. What a rabid lot. 

Hey OD. Yeah, I went last year. Stayed overnight in North Adelaide and had a great time. My only previous time was the first year the Crows came into the competition at Football Park. I normally go interstate once a year and next season it will be Hobart again which is my favourite of them all. Nothing better than a crisp, sunny weekend down there for the football. 


Rd 15 v pussie cats at pussie stadium

Looks to be out? Round 15 at GMHBA.

Doubles v Brisbane, Richmond, Sydney,  North, Hawthorn and Carlton.

Not bad having doubles against only 3 other finalists and once only against the premier and another prlim finalist in Pies. And twice against absolute bottom 4 sides.

Lions tiges and blues won't be happy meeting dees twice. 

Could be worse for sure. Love the late season run home at the G

Never been more optimistic pre season and this draw helps.

For anyone interested in who we will play during our loading period it looks like Port away, Dockers, Carlton, Collingwood then Geelong in Moggydishu. 

Happy Jonah Hill GIF

The Good:   two games v hawks & Kangas 


 


 

Show Me The Money GIFThe moneymakers: 

rd 6 vs Richmond (Anzac Eve)

Rd 12 vs Carlton (Friday Night)

Rd 13 vs Collingwood (King’s Birthday)

 


Angry Season 3 GIF by SuccessionHBO

The Bad:  Rd 15 v cats at PussyPark on a Thursday night again. Ffs 

It is not a bad draw for us but I have to whinge about Geelong. They play 4 vic clubs in Geelong and it is us, North, Dogs and yep Essenscum. Again an absolute disgrace. 


At the end of 2023 and 22 full seasons of AFL since 2000- 19 times we will have played Geelong at State Government Stadium. 21 home games to Geel in that time….the big three playing at Geel in the same period ? .- ESS 1, Carl 3 Coll 0 Ffs 🤦‍♂️ 

Home games for both Anzac eve and Kings Birthday is good for the $$$ side of things.

Happy to be at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round, a venue we play very well as well as playing a franchise in Northern Territory so we may outnumber opposition supporters.

Financially we only make coin off home games. Whilst you note that the crowd averages for the double ups against Richmond and Carlton will be good, that adds nothing to the bottom line. Very few money making games against Victorian clubs, which is the same as it has been for the past few seasons

Home games against Richmond, Collingwood, hawthorn, Carlton plus round 1 is better than we normally get. Home games against Sydney, north and Adelaide are better than the usual gws and Gold Coast

  • 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?

    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?
