How can the afl justify playing Carlton vs Gws sat & saints playing home game at the mcg tonite vs Dons & Dees get banished to compete against the F1 on Sunday???

 

I still don’t understand how our game isn’t a Saturday night. It’s two teams in contention. What I’m watching tonight is two teams who will be lucky to get a whiff of the 8. 

 

Although I agree with your sentiments, Id much prefer to go to a friendly timeslot of 3:20 on a Sunday compared to travelling home after midnight with the trains in disarray atm1

When they scheduled this draw it was likely 14th vs 15th which is probably about where Essendon will finish

Why is St Kilda playing a home game at the G?

Sydney fans come down for race and game long weekend Money and mates. We get left with maggots.

Putting the viewership money stuff aside, its nice to be out of the prime time spot light occasionally. Its been a long time since those day games v Collingwood & Carlton. So it will be a relief to get out onto the G in the daylight with a red Sherrin for once.

And tomorrow is a free-to-air game so the sponsors and the team get lots of exposure.  The Sunday arvo game often attracts a big TV audience.  However, it will be interesting to see how our game rates up against the F1GP

It wasn't all that long ago where we were rarely on FTA at all.  And that went on for years

But we have to turn up like we did in round one (last week was a no-show and a head-scratcher)

True about the Bombers but I think the AFL finally did something worthwhile giving the Saints the stage for their 150th celebration at the G.

70,000 fans agree.

But watching the Saints new Lyon-style play I suspect yet again it won't get it done in September against other current Top 4 contenders (including us) but they'll have a good ride this year.

That would be news to Carlton and the AFL.

Since we are having a whine...my bone of contention is playing at Geelong every Single year. Like clockwork they pencil it in. Pies never play there.

Not only we have to play them down there but also we only get. 9 day break with the Bye... what a joke the AFL fixture can be.

150 years celebrating a club is deserving of prime time…. 

What did we get for our 150th, it was 2008, so I’ve mostly blocked it out of my mind

  • 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?
