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

    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.

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
