I imagine Airfares and Hotel Rooms are about 8x the normal price. Uber Rides around the City will be peak

I think the whole thing stinks

Think of it as SA's revenge for Vic tying up the GF for 20 odd years.

It's a good product but needs to be stretched over two weeks to offer a reasonable chance for fans to attend. There's not many hotel rooms in Adelaide in the scheme of things

2 weeks!!! No way 😎

I do agree with you on Hotel Rooms over there. I have always had to pay top 💰for any accommodation when i have needed to be there

You can't find a room for 100kms when the cricket's on and that's only a crowd of 35.

Perhaps split it over Perth and SA on one weekend assuming those two States would pay

Football festivals are fun if they're run well

How does a 35 yo Dangerfield kick 4, how do they get players like Cameron & Smith & we trade in zero

Amazing to see Danger running riot at 35 while we have a couple of “so called” stars who are cooked mentally if not physically in their late 20’s!

Watching the crows forwards It’s frustrating & unbelievable how our club hasn’t been able to develop & trade in any power forwards to maximise our premiership window!

i said years ago we should have traded that peanut in weideman who cant even get a game in the vfl for fogarty or georgiades from port

If we had generous billionaire sponsors who would gift properties, vehicles and lucrative sponsorship deals to players and their families it would help.

Also high IQ footballers, not sure where we are on that front...

Yep throw that in there also.

Don’t forget there was no 6-6-6 when we had Burgess

Much easier to defend in 21

Umm, that rule was introduced in 2019. It's not hard to check these things.

As annoying as he is, you have to admire what danger is doing & what he did last night.

This is the level & skill Oliver & petracca have to consistently get to

Agree .. let’s not forget the state gvt have giving 140 mill to redevelop their stadium over the last 15yrs whilst we are stuck training on a paddock & driving 50 mins to Casey & a pipe dream horse racing track as a training centre


I dont think we have stars who can influence a game like 35 year old Danger is capable of

Would love to CP have a go at being such a star

22 Nathan Williamson. He’s a shocker. Always gives Dees a bad run. We can only hope this changes this weekend!!

We can hope to win Tattslotto this weekend, too. That’s probs more likely to happen. 😅

So does Bailey Smith cop the same rhetoric for his middle finger salute to the crowd as Harley Reid. Or is it OK because.... Geelong.

You know, you can make your point without resorting to insulting name-calling. As someone over the age of five, you know that, right?

Other than the configuration of the MCG this idea of Melbourne Storm's CEO (Justin Rodski) makes a lot of sense.

Rodski has been campaigning for the Storm to take advantage of the AFL leaving the state for Gather Round by playing a Storm versus New Zealand Warriors game at the MCG in future, which he said could be a platform for Melbourne to steal a future NRL decider from Sydney.

Given its record of strong crowds for State of Origin games, Rodski believes a successful Storm game at the MCG when the AFL vacates Victoria for a week and heads to Gather Round would make a strong case for the Victorian government to put in a bumper bid to bring the grand final to Melbourne.

“I don’t see any reason why the NRL shouldn’t consider the MCG and why the Victorian Government shouldn’t consider the NRL grand final,” Rodski said.

Pre covid I always had a second team to cushion the blow of MFC failure. Now I can't be bothered.

For 2025 it's Melbourne Storm and Oscar Piastri for me.

I suspect I'm not alone

Following the storm is great. Yes I have sat through lost grand finals, but this team has given me premierships & finals appearances in my lifetime more than the dees have. They are consistent & have a wonderful coach.

Also while everyones at gather round the storm are playing on Sunday here in Melbourne & it's a sell out.

Adelaide almost kicked half of our total season goal tally in one night. In a loss.

Ugh it’s gonna be one of those nights.

I’m running out of threads that are bearable.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
