    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! 🤣

    You are assuming they will make finals?  Easy draw but hard run in.  They are so overrated.  They were 5th last year and missed out.  They will fall for sure, despite having 3 easy games coming up

    And we can watch their demise in prime time which is all the sweeter!

    Going off round 23, I reckon our game in round 24 vs Pies will be Friday or Saturday night.

    If they don't make finals it will be even more fun than them not winning one.  🤣

    The AFL might decided to bring a cheeky Thursday night in to punish us one final time before finals.

    Oh. Nevermind. Just realised that Collingwood play after us (Saturday night) in Round 23 and the AFL would never do that to Collingwood. I guess we can thank Eddie for that.

    The first thing I looked at was when Collingwood play in round 23. I knew the AFL wouldn’t care about screwing us with a short break after an interstate trip. But precious Collingwood would never. 
     

    Ours is arguably the match of the round, depending on how a few other current top 8 sides go.

    Hopefully help getting a shorts sponsor with that schedule. 
    Here’s hoping Essendon lose their last eight games to miss finals.

    We only play one WA game in July. We play West Coast in Perth this week. The second West Coast game in July is at the MCG.

    Even if it was, 6 day breaks are normal. These are elite athletes we're talking about.

    Geelong play Sydney on a Sunday afternoon in June, then Carlton the following Friday.

    St Kilda have played at 7 venues in 9 rounds. By round 14 they will have played at 9 different venues.

    It happens to everyone.

    Our fixture early in the season was unfair, yes, but our upcoming fixture is fantastic and completely normal.

    Can’t wait to get roasted when we draw “disappointing Crowds” against GWS and Port on Saturday nights which are dreadful for drawing big crowds.

    Massive bonus to have the Suns game as a day game and avoid the dewy slippery games we normally have up there.

    So this year the club's bean counters and sponsors department will be happy with relation to genuine marquee timeslots:

    3 Friday night games (including Collingwood in round 24*)

    4 Thursday night games

    1 Anzac Eve

    1 Kings B'day

    (*going the early crow with round 24)

    On the flip side, it's bit of a shame we only have 2 genuine "red ball" day games in Melbourne this year. How times have changed.

    Yeah that second last point is pretty poor form.

    Agree. Proof reader needed...we've found a top candidate.

    There would have to be a complete change of all Field Umpiring Personnel.

    My bad. Just the Freo one then.

    I'll have to find something else to whinge about then. 😬

    Even allowing for the Round 24 game, only 2 of those 9 games are our home game (Brisbane in Round 5 the other one).

    Somewhat disappointing for the bean counters.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
