McClure suggesting Melbourne wonโ€™t be involved in the weekend.

And a couple of games will be in QLD on the same weekend.

Then we'll play at the gabba or gold coast.

I still think GF replay is a great idea for the first game

Good outcome for us if it eventuates. Not only gets a road trip out of the way when we didn't play the week before, a week of sometime early in the season will also give us the chance to re-energise. A clear advantage to the four teams playing.

Proposed week 1 scenario according to Sam McClure who seemed very confident:

Gold Coast V Richmondย 

Brisbane V Carltonย 

Sydney V Collingwood

GWS v Essendon

Don't mind it especially if it means we get Round 24 at the MCG.

Collingwood will no doubt throw the toys out of the cot.

It reads as if Collingwood actually want to go up there in round 1.

only 6 months to go

[censored] me

give it a rest AFL

and then you wait til july to announce the last few roundsย 

ย 

The AFL *sigh* they barely give us time to catch our breath before adding in yet another change. Iโ€™m still getting over Gather Round. Iย donโ€™t even understand this one. Is the season a week longer with this? Meanwhile, we now have 18 teams in the W comp yet this season comprises only 10 H&A rounds. Iโ€™d lose so much respect for the AFL if I had any to start with.ย

No doubt Melbourne will play Sydney at the SCG. Bookmark it.

Yep just heard on the news this morning. Gws v Collingwood, Sydney v Melbourne . Could be wrong but at least it's one interstate game game out of the way early.

Edited by dees189227


Is this to offset Collingwood playing a home game in Sydney and it being included as one of their interstate trips next year?ย 
ย 

if Iโ€™m being cynical ๐Ÿคจย 

Surely this should have been, coincidentally, announced at 6pm on the 29th of October while the Matildaโ€™s are playing The Philippines?

Missed a trick there AFL.

Standalone game, great exposure, few days in Sydney for us fans. Bring it. Players get a free weekend in Round 1.ย 

Can't see the angst.

Only if Grundy is BOG!

Any excuse to get MFC travelling interstate as often as possible.

Our 2024 fixture could get ugly.

Our 2024 fixture may have us playing round 1 at the SCG, ANZAC eve away, KB away, Alice Springs (home) and Kardinia and Hobart. Yep - ugly.

ANZAC eve away, KB away

Both games will still be at the MCG won't they?ย  ย

collingwood again seizing the initiative and bullying the AFL.

GF replay was a feature recently.

Melbourne V Sydney is the rivalry that AFL should grow. ITs already an existing feeling that can be leveraged for maximum impact right at the start of the season when there is so much promise.

And the only reason they can think of is that it pits Brodie against us.

Sheesh.

If that's their only pitch to build it up, it seems pretty unfair on all parties really.

Gee wiz.

We've got a good rivalry with Sydney, but I don't see it as a huge one.

Don't know why the AFL are obsessed with needing to pitch these epic rematches in Rd 1.ย  Everyone is craving for any AFL action at all.ย  I'd actually rather play someone other than the Bulldogs in Rd 1 for a change, but asides from that, I don't really care who or where, so long as it isn't Geelong at Cat park - surely we can have a season we don't travel there away?

Split rounds are a horrible way to start the season in my opinion.ย 

You wait 6 months for footy season to start and to get stuck into that main course and you're served with two entrees.

Every team has the same level of interest in this competition, let them all start on the same weekend.ย 

Sure most people will tune in but the way my viewing went this year I'd likely miss both Syd based games and just wait for the week after.ย 

melbourne should only agree if we don't have to go to mordor this year

we need to speak up and not let the big clubs dictate again

Except the AFL does what the AFL wants to do, no provisos.

The whole โ€œfloatingโ€ of an idea is laughable. Theyโ€™ll go ahead and do what they want regardless of what everyone else says.

Iโ€™ll give them one thing though, theyโ€™re all for equalityโ€ฆ our girls were sent to Mordor AND on a Thursday night. ๐Ÿ™„

The club might be happy to be involved in this as it gives them prime time exposure when the footy world will be starving for footy, with only 2-4 games on that weekend.

As I mentioned above, there are conflicting reports with relation to who is involved. One source suggested we may not even be involved on that weekend.

This whole idea is Monty Python on steroids.

The MFC wont lobby the AFL. .Theyre too polite. It aggravates me.

So we could end up playing two Home and Away games back to back at the SCG. We recently played two H&A games at the gabba in 3 games. R23 + R2.

Nothing changes.

  • 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 Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"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 Collingwoodโ€™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.ย

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.
