    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?

    Wtf Jesus Christ 

     

    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 ???

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
