    no game on friday night

    what a joke 

    It is and they are giving Rugby League free air tonight

    And it's a good match too ... Cowboys/Dolphins

    Reckon we should dispense with pre-season games and start when RL starts ... 25 game season

    Straight into it

    And play a game Good Friday evening ... maybe a 6pm start so that the Royal Children's appeal gets the last 3 hours of the day

    i wonder how many footy supporters are active christians? but i recognise the hypocrisy of enjoying a day off work when not being religions 

    the footy would be a great vehicle to raise money for the appeal. give part of the gate or tv money and promote it

    There wasn't an AFL game on Good Friday at all until 2017.

    I agree that a night fixture would make more sense.

    I remember the days when we played very little sport on Sunday's. Cricket Test matches had a rest day on Sunday's back in the day.  Pubs were closed and supermarkets couldn't open either

    Times have changed and integration for worthy causes and sport is the new way.  As you said, tie the evening game in with the appeal. It's a no-brainer

    This afternoon's game was very much in aid of the Good Friday Appeal. I don't know the exact details though. I suspect that the reason it is an afternoon game rather than an evening one is due to Channel 7 being a major player in the appeal and the evening telethon.

    Umps doing what Carlton can't.

    It’s actually embarrassing now, two weeks in a row they have been given games, by incompetent officiating.

    That non free to Zurhaar is one of  the worst decisions I can recall and no surprise it was number 1 Donlon, who I think even drove the Blues home in their bus.

    I was wondering, given this was a Norf home game, why they couldn’t wear their traditional jumper?  There isn’t even a clash  WTF?

    I would say it's a special jumper designed around the good friday appeal that has green in it to & they'll probably be signed and auctioned off for the appeal

    Ha ha!  It was 10-6 when I made that initial post ... a free scoring affair thereafter.  Like an underdog so barracking for the Flippers

    Much rather be watching AFL though ... over the 5 days the AFL manage to have 2 games clashing with each other on Saturday night

    Bulldogs/Tigers moved from the Saturday twilight slot to tonight with 1 of the Sat evening games played Sat twilight?

    interesting case

    indigenous man claiming he was sexually assaulted in showers by 3 players in the 80's when he was a 16yo playing in u19's and living in a club owned house.

    he is suing club not the alleged assailants. he is unnamed as are the alleged assailants.

    given it allegedly happened 40 years ago i doubt anyone working at the club then is still there.

    The irony is that the height of the religious day for Good Friday is 3pm. Ceremonies are over by 4pm.

    The absence of a night game ???

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
