Why do we need 8 games spread over 5 days, with 4 night games?

Surely tonight's game could be played on Friday, and Friday's game on Saturday.

I can only assume a larger slice of the broadcast pie (4 night games vs. 3). It's almost always about the money.

Because the broadcaster can now have Thursday night games again. Were not allowed to play Thursday nights for seven rounds. As of the next AFLPA deal Thursday night will be every week. 


 

saints

port

lions

crows

freo

north

druggos

MFCSS

Swans -       Saints might be gone

Dogs   -       Not sure if this is just a wish

Lions   -       Hawks are getting better but!

Crows  _      Someone is going to lose to the eagles at some point.

Dockers  -   But cheering hard for the Tigers

Giants  -      Forgotten is this their on week or their off week

Draw -         Bloody hell do I really have to pick one. 

Melbourne - Never been as confident as I am this week. 


Freo about to be 7-5 and five wins on the trot 🤮

You just cannot argue against these sides. They pull the crowds in, no matter what.

 

Can't be bothered tipping but here goes.

Swans

Dogs

Bris

Crows

Dockers

North (Yeah North)

Blues (Why not) 

Yep

I like having a Thursday night game to watch.

The death riding thread was good fun there for a while. Would love if freo fell back in a hole

A Swans win tonight puts them firmly back in the running for the final 8.

Dogs V Port is a big game for us. A Port win if combined with a Collingwood win on Monday sees those two teams 3 games clear and almost certain top 4. A loss by both leaves the race wide open.

Freo v Richmond is interesting. Go Tigers

Blues v Bombers (draw please)

Yep. Gotta see the unit get his ton and then Head the double. Wonder if Head will make 57 before the units 5 ?

Why don't you come up to The Manor and watch it with Uncle WCW ?

I could show you my etchings during the lunch break.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
