@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.

    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??

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
