The Monarchy Holiday will be gone within ten years. Will they keep the day as a public holiday or move it? Who knows It now sits in or near to School holidays so they may look for another day to spread the economic benefit

I see we are staying with the 2:30pm timeslot for the grand final. I'm not too fussed but it amuses me that we kick up a fuss about the GF time yet every other game is moved hither and thither to satisfy television etc. 7pm start for me fwiw but I'd be happy with 6pm. A 4pm start seems to be neither fish nor fowl. (a bit like 19 teams ...we all know the next move.) The AFL Commission has decided that the start time for the 2023 grand final will remain at the traditional 2.30pm start. The 2023 decider will be played at the MCG on Saturday, September 30. An AFL source who was not authorised to speak confirmed the Commission reached the decision on Wednesday afternoon. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-decides-against-twilight-grand-final-20230517-p5d8y8.html PS I do worry however that a 2:30pm start time is not good for our hundreds of millions of viewers in China and India but I suppose it does work for West Coast USA and the millions of Las Vegas punters wanting to get a part of the action.

Looks like a great place from their website A fresh brew and a Jacks Burger for me please that Vanilla Porter looks like a nice post dinner drop What is your favourite? Enjoy and feel free to post of your enjoyment on the game day thread

The flip side is that I hope we are targeting a 12-18 ranked player at a lesser club that wants a crack at a flag

Yep... my bookmark is a couple of minutes earlier... the failed disposal by Mitch Hannan (otherwise you miss Caleb Daniel dumping Gawn)

Woey is starting to remind me of Stretch and JKH but as yet not as good. Needs to have a good second half of the year at Casey. The other in the mix is AMW.

if we were rating the fringe players on our list (I define fringe as 18-30) he's probably at 25. Can understand the move but I'm not seeing his quality easily replaced by a current Casey player

wow... I feel special !!! thanks

interesting non committal comment on Salem Possibly in the 23 which would be a big surprise

This weekend marks the next phase of the season. If we can go 6-2 over the next 8 weeks we remain on track for top 2. 4-4 and we are borderline 4th or 5th

4-6 no numbers can be more aligned with MFCSS

do we.. ask me in six weeks The Pies gameplan is multiple levels above ours

1pm Saturday for the Casey game against North Should be a good test for the fringe players. 4th v 8th Weather in Adelaide on Friday night looking good and on the cool side for the AFL game

Adelaide play a very good short kick/handball corridor centric game

Rating the top 3-6 players is an art... rating all 23 is a skill Respect to Joeboy for attempting it One of my must reads.. post game

An uninspiring game and we move on. Did we learn much about the forward line

need another 6 to finish we're now back to our quarter time lead

HE'S BACK !!!!!

Because we suffer from CAS (corridor aversion syndrome)

nah

it's deliberate... remember 😅

wake up mfc

not great at all He left the ground a second time for injury which wasn't a good sign

Probably 30 points light but the defensive end has been so good it more than compensates

time to go up a notch or two
