@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.

Fixture has been loaded into The Age early again:

Round 16: Brisbane V Melbourne, Friday 28 June, 7:40pm, GABBA

Round 17: Melbourne v West Coast, Sunday 7 July, 1:10pm, MCG (WOO A RED BALL GAME AT THE G)

Round 18: Melbourne v Essendon, Saturday 13 July, 7:30pm MCG

Round 19: Fremantle v Melbourne, Sunday 21 July, 1:20pm Perth time (3:20pm AEDT), Optus

Round 20: Melbourne v GWS, Saturday 27 July, 7:30pm, MCG

Round 21: Western Bulldogs v Melbourne, Friday 2 August, 7:15pm, Marvel

Round 22: Melbourne v Port Adelaide, Saturday 10 August, 7:30pm MCG

Round 23: Gold Coast v Melbourne, Saturday 17 August, 1:45pm, HB

WTF Saturday nights against interstate sides.

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?

Edited by Lucifers Hero

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).

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 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
