The AFL seem desperate to promote Carlton:

But why not alternate the Eagles and Dockers?

With the Eagles putrid next season, isn't it better to play the weaker team over there?

Process of elimination for those wanting to book to go to Alice Springs for the Dees vs Giants game. 

Gold Coast are playing Adelaide on Saturday June 3rd in Round 12. 

Currently we are only listed as playing the Giants in Round 16 with no set date. Round 16 should be on the weekend on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd of July.

Those aren't but the other 4 are almost 'gimmes'!

So overall it is about the easiest double ups of all.

People expected West Coast to be easy beats like last year are in for a shock.

They could barely field a team for the first half of the year and then tanked the rest

Has anyone received an email from the club advising of the code needed to buy tickets for the Gather Round game against Essendon?

Tickets are supposedly going on sale 12:30 today.

Perhaps - but i'm glad we are playing the hawks and Roos twice, which the blues aren't.

The blues double up games are Collingwood, Melbourne, St Kilda, Gold Coast, Greater Western Sydney, West Coast.

The pies and the dees are very tough double ups.

And of the others i reckon only west Coast is in the chalk up a win category.

The Giants are next weakest, but still have a reasonable list and might be tougher to beat than their finish to last season suggests. 

St Kilda are not likely to be easy beats, and i reckon the Suns are on the rise (pardon the pun)

We play Perth better than the MCG!

My query was more about trying to understand why rather than being too worried about it.

Easy beats, maybe not, but they are going to be a bottom 8 team. Their list profile is awful with most of their best players past 30. 

Hurn 35, Shuey 32, Gaff 30, Darling 30, Naitanui 32, McGovern 30, Cripps 30 and an injury prone Yeo at 29.

Kelly is more or less a sole hand in the midfield with Shuey playing as a 33yr old and having injury interrupted seasons 3 years running. They may remain competative with McGovern and Barass holding their backline together with a geriatric Hurn while also having the benefit of a home ground advantage.

West Coast went all in for Kelly to have a shot at another flag which they are now paying the price for. They have only just started to heavily recruit youth in the past 2 seasons after years of having a poor draft hand, while their 2018, '19 and '20 drafts have given them next to no returns. Make no mistake, they are at the start if their rebuild and recruiting the likes of Hunt and Petrevski-Seaton isn't going to mitigate that.

I cannot believe that in the period 1990-2023 which is 34 years we missed playing there only 9 times whilst Collingwood played there 3 times in that period so they missed 31 times.

I would not only ask a question I would tell the AFL they have to fix the imbalance.

Got my ticket for Gather Round. All pretty easy really.

 

My view on Kardinia Park is this... the more our current list plays there the better equiped they will be to win there!

  • 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.

    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?
