Which is exactly what should happen. They scheduled 5 potential finals teams on a Sunday for round 24 to maximize viewership. That’s on them. 

Play 3 games on Saturday or one on Sunday. I don’t care. You cannot possibly disadvantage a side with 11 days turnaround and have a 12 day concussion protocols. 

I believe in 2021 we did have a game on Sunday, 3.20 pm

It was when both EF were played down in Tasmania.

Nah we played on a Saturday night at Adelaide oval.

Why TF are final played on thursday nights to begin with!? 

it’s a work night with work in the morning. i know the afl get some extra tv money but it should be one game friday, 2 on Sat and one Sun arvo

Sunday arvo is a huge ratings slot so i really don’t get this thursday nonsense

Sunday means that whoever plays there will potentially have a short turnaround for the following week. 
 


Have I missed the point here?  The top 4 teams that loose in the first week, will end up with a longer break for the games the following weekend, which is the shorter turn around.  Given the first week has a bye isn’t that better for the top 4 teams than getting the shorter turn around first?

11 days is heaven for Dees players. We're the only club that doesnt get a mid season bye (9 days).Geelong get 13- 15 days.

12 is perfect. Dont care if the Colly Wobbles get an extra 2 days on us.  But why on a Thursday. 

Gil is so dumb he probably didnt realise that Sun to Thur week is 11 days 1 short for concussion break.

He would of heard Hodge  blasting away about it on radio.

It could create controversy= arousal for Gil and the Dills

Yeah and that’s why Brisbane should have the Thursday night game and not the Collingwood v Melbourne one

couldn’t they arrange it so the teams that could potentially play the next friday do not play the sunday game?

i may not be the smartest fella but i think it’s possible. then it’s only the difference of a 6 or 7 day break

what did they do before the pre finals bye? 3 Sat games?


 

 

If we get a concussion today then we should be protesting very loudly about playing on the thursday night.

The Hun is reporting that if we do play Toothless ferals it will be on Friday night!

So in other words, the journos such as Jon Ralph and Mark Robinson’s crew have no idea when the game will be played, and we should wait until later tonight’s announcement before we chuck a tanty.

I recall Drew Jones on Fox Sports was so adamant that todays Dees V Swans game was originally going to be scheduled Saturday 7:25 that he was willing to bet his AFL media accreditation  on it.

You guys think playing Thursday night is bad? 
Wait until Ticketek crashes on Tuesday morning.

Ralph just now saying finals schedule pretty much set in stone. Coll Thursday night, Carlton most likely Friday night, Saturday will include a day game and a twilight game so those teams that play on Saturday can be back in their beds by that night to ensure full 7 days recovery.

Sorry I meant the AFL not MFC. I think it was the GWS v Sydney EF?

For Collingwood members they will.

I am guessing Dees members will be on Wednesday.

I thought both club members tickets go on sale at the same time?

Just a guess, I think it was the Tuesday of bye week last year.

Thursday night is a FU to all families with kids. AFL know it means alot won't be able to make it but don't give a flying F. They'll fill the G and it'll rate of the charts either way

I hate attending Thursday night games. I'm always wrecked the next day at work

The shorter turnarounds should be for those who didn’t make the top 4

Absolutely.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
