    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
