AFL Draw

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)

Not at my house. We’re just getting started.

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.

 

And while we're at it, why do we have to play sides above us on the ladder?

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

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
