Round 24 times still not out despite it being only 18 days away. Good luck trying to plan a trip up to Sydney within that timeframe.

Given Sydney are becoming more relevant by the week, I think we can almost rule out the Saturday afternoon time slot which is increasingly becoming the time slot for dud games.

Saturday night or Sunday the most likely. We play Sunday and Sydney play the Saturday the prior week.

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.

Hold the phone. Tommy is now saying a Sunday Afternoon game is a lock.

 

Oooh that would be ideal. Mainly because I’ll be able to watch it up in QLD while I drink a cocktail pool side. 
If we lose I’ll just throw myself and the laptop in the pool 😂

I have a family function on the Saturday night so I will not be able to watch a minute if it is on then. Sunday is perfect for me as I can watch in peace and quiet whilst nursing a hangover.

Sunday 3:20pm vs Sydney. Probs originally planned for the Buddy Show on Saturday night but since his retirement was immediate, now it’ll probably just be a pre-match send-off with all the pomp and pageantry it deserves. We’ll still rain on their parade, though. ❤️💙

Is this 100% confirmed?

We should be on the Saturday since a top 4 team 

Doesn't really matter with a week off between finals.

I prefer a 7 day break between round 23 and round 24 and I think so would the club. 

Chances are we finish 2nd or 3rd and therefore got the Saturday night game in week 1 of finals, with 1 v 4 generally the Friday night?

Also gets us FTA exposure again. 

Sat arvo has become the AFL’s graveyard slot. Sunday arvo is now more prestigious. Collingwood played a stack of Sunday games earlier this year.

I don't think people want Saturday afternoon anymore.

Kids sports, work etc. Sunday afternoon is a better timeslot for families IMO.

Good result given we've avoided a 6 day break and the club gets some more FTA exposure.

Now that the date has been announced, anyone have an idea when tickets will go on sale, or if the club has an allocation that they have available to on sell?

 

EDIT - tickets go on sale Tue Aug 15.

Congratulations to the AFL for managing to organise 9 games with only 2 weeks left before the round is played.

Thank goodness they did not screw us in the process and give us a short break AND travel all in one. It pays to be a good side!

Really? My son's junior football is on Sunday, and the older teams are playing after lunch.

I'd much rather Saturday afternoon games, especially when you don't get home until after 7pm on a Sunday night after a 3:20 game.

    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
