No Thursday or Friday nights for us

Was the WCE match always at Marvel or has that been added in???

I guess the fixture to be expected given our form.

Only one night game which i can't make as i've got a gig that night.

Still boggles my mind a little we play home against the Pies on 9 June and then don't play at home again until 13 July.

was always there

every mcg tenant has to play there cos the afl needs to fulfil the quota (that they imposed, cos it's their ground)

tbh i'm surprised so many of our games are fta broadcast

i thought we'd be sent to the naughty corner of eras gone by, where every game was sunday at 1.10pm not the fta 3.20pm slot

The Melboune Football club IS NOT a tenant of the MCG

How on earth was our Marvel game against West Coast not on a Sunday twilight?

It’s actually at the civilised time of Saturday 1:20.

Sunday 3:20s yum. Deserved, but at least its FTA and not 4:40.

We don't deserve nice things because we are [censored] on the field and off the field, we haven't been better.

I'm more than happy to dodge Thursday and Friday nights, and the club can hardly complain about missing out on these given their woeful performances and horrible brand of football.

Sunday games are not ideal with junior football, but its up to the club to make this work.

yes we are

I think this is a good result for the rank and file MFC supporter and member.

There's a nice variety of timeslots across Saturday and Sunday to suit most members, and we again avoid Sunday 4:40pm in Melbourne for many years running.

I'm not fussed about attending Thursday or Friday nights. Prefer weekends. The club and its sponsors would think differently though.

Agree entirely, nothing better than Saturday or Sunday 1pm games and our crowds reflect that.

Lots of family friendly timeslots to expose your kids to the endless misery of being a Melbourne supporter.

Will our sponsors be willing to reinvest in a team that has limited exposure?

Sunday 3.20 - Awful

Marvel home game - Joke. We are not MCG tenants, we are the only MCG home team.

No Thursday home games - big tick

No Thursday away games - understandable

No Friday games - understandable

Three interstate games in a row 👎🏽

I’m going to the Gold coast one but if I wasn’t I’d be spewing missing 4 weeks of footy

I’ll be at all three of them. The good thing is they’re all early/mid afternoon time-slots which allows same day FIFO meaning no accommodation costs 🥳

I acknowledge I am a grumpy person but it does my bloody head in that Marvel tenant clubs play home games at the MCG and we have to play a home game at Marvel.

HQ see us as rotten fish. Fixture reflects this and the umpiring has already started to. Good for Essendon which HQ will like.

Agreed

Dees got shafted with the fixture, and these timeslots just put the dagger further into our back. But given our performances so far this year, we don’t deserve any prime time slots.
