Leaving aside the ridiculous floating fixture, and the complete lack of needing it for round 24...

Anyone know when the afl are likely to release this round? Impossible to plan when it's only 3 weeks away

A couple of weeks ago we were told it would be announced midweek after round 21. So I guess we’ll know on Wednesday. 

I reckon our game will be Saturday night or Sunday 3:20pm.

Brisbane V Essendon is my tip for the Friday night and Freo V Port to finish up on Sunday night.

 

Given we are out of finals contention and I expect the Pies will be too by round 24, I would think we get the Sunday 3:20pm slot. 

 


Is there still a pre-finals bye?

If so, this lack of a last round fixture if a farce

Yes there is

Yes it is

If it's a dead rubber, it would make more sense fo the AFL to give us an old school 1.10/2.10pm Saturday game. No-one will watch the game on TV so Sunday 3.20pm is a waste.

Right now there are three games that will have big ramifications for finals. Every other game involves a team stuck in the bottom 6.

IMO these should get the Friday, Saturday and Sunday slots:

  • Freo vs. Port Friday night (Optus, Friday night)
  • Brisbane vs. Essendon (Gabba, Saturday night)
  • Bulldogs vs. Giants (Marvel, Sunday afternoon)

It appears we’re playing Collingwood on the Friday night.

It will be officially announced tomorrow 


Can understand the rationale of a super Sunday, but still odd we get Friday

Once you realise every decision the AFL makes is primarily for the benefit of the TV networks their actions make a lot more sense.

Really hope we put in a decent performance if we’re the Friday night game and everyone’s watching.

Also hope the Pies are mathematically out of it which may make the former more likely.

This game is likely to be a dead rubber - strange that the AFL would allocate prime time for that !

Goddamn I HATE Friday nights. 


I am so hoping for the Pies to win the next two and have a chance only for us to snuff it. 
Would probably require a Sat game to make it a possibility.

Yes but they’ll be hoping the 8 won’t be settled until the Sunday.

There are two MCG games, the other is Rich v GC. 

They don’t want dead rubbers on the Sunday so they had to put one on Saturday and one on Friday night. 


The draw, the venues, the timings ... all seems so depressing now ... hope Max is given a well-deserved rest from the responsibilities that he has endured this season. Bring into the team, for the final rounds of the H and A season, all of the cherubs languishing at Casey. It is time to bite the cherry (or it may be the lemon), sack Badloss, re-structure and present an experience pathway for debutants and tenderfoots to the 2025 season. Why not?

Only confirms that the AFL have the fix in to make sure C'wood wins enough preceding games to make that an elimination final for C'wood.  (Yes I am paranoid)

Seriously?

Lions and Bombers made more sense. Freo and Port I understand because you want to keep eyes glued to the TV sets.

I reckon Dogs and Giants could have been a ripper for Fri night at Marvel, seems strange having the Mars agreement for Round 24.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
