@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??

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
