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

I don’t think so. They’ll have separate times to avoid the site crashing. We get the same allocation of seats so don’t worry.

    Buddy’s celebration is an omen. The last major celebration was last year when he kicked 1000 goals……..against the team that became the premiers.

    Carlton v Swans/Giants/Dogs over Collingwood v Melbourne on the Friday Night might be one of the stupidest decisions I’ve seen the AFL has made.

    Collingwood are the biggest team in the comp, we’re coming off a premiership 2 seasons ago & both teams play at the MCG.

    Thursday Night is a 7:20 game, Friday Night a 7:50 game. You lose a couple of thousand in attendance because of that.

     

    Well done AFL lol

    That assumes they use common sense. I don't recall the AFL or the ticketing companies showing any of that in the past. I'm almost certain they release the members tickets for all four games at the same time for absolutely no reason hut to stress us all out

    I have to miss if it's Thursday. Seven have stated it will be on the Thursday, just have to wait for the AFL to confirm what seven have asked for.

    The AFL can get well & truly stuffed if it’s a Thursday night, so much for country members coming down

    Surely the biggest crowd pulling final has to Friday or Saturday night

    My 8yo will want to go, no way will he be right for school the next day by the time we get home and he unwinds and goes to bed around 1130pm (if we're lucky).

    Slap in the face to the top 4 teams and their supporters having it on Thursday instead of Friday night.

    It's created all kinds of headaches that's for sure. I'll be struggling to get out of work early on the Thurs whereas Fri no problem at all. 

    As mentioned in post game I believe this game will be the biggest shaper of the finals series and whoever wins it has just taken the Queen in the Premiership Chess game. Real shame it it's Thurs..

    I'd rather play on the Thursday and those sides play on the Friday. If we lose, we get an extra day preparation. How would you feel if it was the reverse and we had one less day's preparation?

    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 am sure the AFL in their infinite wisdom will find a way.  
    Why not, as there are only max 3 Vic based teams with home finals play Friday night, Saturday arvo and night, and a EF on a Sunday?.

    Fox Footy already pushing the agenda to have us play on the Thursday. It seems that the AFL does the broadcaster's bidding.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
