Whats the point of the Gather Round?

 

In a parallel universe that didn’t have Gather Round this year, we finish second and play Brisbane in a week 1 MCG final.

    Great. I’m flying to Melbourne from Alice the same weekend of gather round, hoping I could see the Dees play in Melbourne, something I haven’t done in about 10 years. Thanks AFL FFS. Even any game would have been good…

    Hope we play at home the following weekend when I fly home. 

    CEO Dillon knew you were coming.

    One day someone will be able to explain to me the point of the "gather" round.

    The point is to get a tourism department to give the AFL heaps of cash for the honour. It works.

    In that Parallel Universe we play one less game during the regular season and Melksham doesn't do his ACL

    The fixture list is always going to throw up challenges. If we are good enough, we'll win the flag. If not, we won't. That's all that matters, not who we play, where or when.

    Yes we drew the short straw next season but that is so predictable. I said on DL a few months back we will play Crows or Port next season in Gather Round. Its so predictable.

    Last year Collingwood got 10 days break before Gather round. We got 6  and we lost.

    Will lowly Hawthorn play at the Cattery. Theyre well overdue but will they?  We'll know soon enough.

    Dees to the Gabba again and Norff in Tassie- our injury graveyard?

    I think Crows will get  red carpet service next season due to AFL making amends for the Swans debacle.

    Just eyeballed now. Gather Round,  Pies v Hawks  AO

    Hilarious.

    A FESTIVAL OF FOOTY  (Afl)

    Morons

    They could screw is more by deeming our gather round v Adelaide to be our home game 🙄😮

    Honestly I agree with this.

    I don't love them from an attendance perspective, but I was a big fan of having Monday and Thursday nights on tv.

    I found it very hard to follow when some Mondays and Thursdays had games and when the start times of Friday night games kept changing around.

    Having a consistent product is so important for tv.

    That’s a great post Deb. 

    Probably your most positive one yet.

    You are becoming the most negative poster on D/L. 

    Always looking at the negative side of any thing the AFL and sometimes very often the Dees as well. 

    Dare you to change at least now until the season starts!!

    As mentioned above, Carlton and Bulldogs drew the short straw in 2023.

    Us and Essendon have drawn the short straw next year.

    Two other clubs will draw the short straw in 2025.

    I personally don’t see the issue.

    Some posters can’t see any thing positive at all.

    Wait until he sees we play the Swans in Round1 in Sydney as well. 

    As a result we should probably expect Rounds 2 and 3 at the G one at least a blockbuster!

    Dare the AFL to send us to the Cattery instead to take on the Cats in front of their 40,000 sellout crowds now achievable!!

    AFL 2024 Fixture out this Thursday 16th. All our fears will be revealed!!

    Round 12
    Sunday, June 2
    Melbourne v Fremantle
    TIO Traeger Park

    Like others I'm getting a bit over the Alice game, but obviously the club needs the $750K or whatever it is these days.

    Pleasing that we have an 8 day break into the following week as opposed to the usual 6 day break we have after Alice.

    And given how we've fared against Freo the last two year at the MCG, it might be a blessing to play them in Alice rather than at the G.

    I have no problem with 1 game a year in Alice. Quite like it in fact. We have a longish history there now and a growing fan base as well. We have done some good work there of which I'm proud of the club for.

    Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture and applaud the club for instigating projects like the Santa Teresa Oval Project as well other positive community work.

    I hate Thursday nights. If we’re playing it’s tough enough to watch it on TV, let alone get there if it’s in Melbourne. I’m sure ratings were solid, there’s nothing else to watch, but the question IMO is whether fans like it when their own club plays on a Thursday.

    Couldn't agree more. 

    Most people I know like Thurs night footy for the TV aspect and something to do but very few of them are prepared to go to the G on a Thurs night and do the whole nine yards with transport, crowds, expenses etc.

    I'm sure there are people here that are happy to go on Thurs night and the TV ratings are great but I personally don't like it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
