I started watching it when I got home from banner. Pies were 5.4.34, Lions were 3.4.22. Lions have kicked 10 goals since I walked in the door. You're all welcome.

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

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.

Just watching a replay of today’s game, can someone please explain why the Kangaroos have green on their jumpers?

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 ???

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.

    It's Game Day and in just a few hours age-old rivals Melbourne and Collingwood, with a history steeped in blood, sweat and unforgettable clashes, will run out onto the hallowed turf of the MCG, to ignite the stadium one last time in season 2024. Let the memory of this season burn.

    LAST DANCE by The Oracle

    Forget the wishful thinking from Magpie fans who think their team can perform yet another miracle and somehow snatch a place in the 2024 finals series when their team takes on the Demons at the MCG on Friday night. It ain’t gunna happen. They can whistle Dixie through their non-existent front teeth but the fact of the matter is that both teams have run their race. The game is a dead rubber — for each of them, this will be the last dance of the season.  And given the history between the two

    RED FACED by Whispering Jack

    The wind and the hot unseasonable temperatures together with lights turned on mid game at People First Stadium conspired to leave many Suns players and supporters red faced and gasping for air as the Demons proved a number of points on their way to a nine goal triumph on Saturday afternoon in the Carrara sunshine. Melbourne is the only non-Queensland team to taste victory at this venue in 2024. This surely leaves a number of journalists and media mavens red faced after they rushed to pass
