    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?

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
