@FearTheBeard in round 18 there’s 3 games at the MCG?

Pies/Cats or Dees/Dons for Friday night?

You’d imagine Pies v Cats would get the Friday night game but apparently Essendon are getting rewarded with prime time slots, so you know??

Normally I would say that the Pies would get the Friday night slot, but I suspect it may be given the Saturday 4:35 because that's the new AFL favourite slot (after 1 game fml) and allows people from Geelong to get to the game.

    Question is how many more 5-day breaks are we going to get vs the other teams. Some teams haven’t even had 1 yet. 

    We’ve had 2, can’t have any more.

    Jon Ralph’s article says clubs can have 3 per season, which I thought only came into effect from next year.

    Ridiculous.

    And short sighted. Just makes for rubbish games of football.

    Does anyone know if they have 5 day breaks in the NFL and NRL?

    I was very much under the impression that it is still 2 for this year.

    In the NFL clubs will play Sunday and then back up the following Thursday night.

    Clubs probably only do this once a year and probably have the bye the week after.

    Fun fact, all 3 of our losses have been on a Thursday night. Makes for a tedious weekend.

    Bob Geldof got his days mixed up.

    Just had a sneaky peak at the age website:

    The Essendon, GWS and Port games are on Saturday nights.

    The West Coast and Freo games are Sunday games.

    The Lions and Dogs games are on a Friday night.

    Can’t complain about that from a commercial perspective. 

    Other than the game against Essendon the media call that we dont bring in big crowds at the MCG is sure to get a run.

    Great fixture. A good spread of 6 to 8 day breaks. Night games against good sides. Lazy Sunday arvo games against the Perth sides.

    I would've liked the Bombers on a Friday but otherwise I can't find anything to fault.

    At this stage we have the best game of Round 24 too (against Collingwood), which would likely be a Friday night.

    So Ess bblessed with no 5-day break between games for the whole season🙄.

    Hope they crash and burn. 

    It would be fun if they lost their first final! 🤣

    The round 24 games vs my other most hated team would be a good time to wear the 'Gus helmet'.

    @WalkingCivilWar  I assume no problems with the cheer squad donning such helmets this time?

    It's great that we're on FTA so much.

    Unfortunately 6 of our 7 Wed/Thur/Fri night games are away games (Brisbane in Round 5 the exception). But we still have the chance to draw big crowds to the Essendon and Port Saturday night games.

    We've got to be a decent chance of getting the Round 24 Friday night game, too (Brisbane v Essendon the danger).

  • Quote

    Our Friday night game against the Dogs starts at the early time of 7:15pm.

    Neither us or the Pies play on Sunday in round 23 which should mean we'll play them on Friday night of round 24, you would think??

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
