Let’s just hope it goes better than the last time we played Port at the ‘G in round one.

Good to see us back to one of our favourite non free to air timeslot. Meanwhile Carlton get prime again

 

[Topkent]

Legit hope Melbourne supporters turn up wearing goggles an bras.
If it was England the chants would be ruthless.

To be fair, we have had a home game now in round 1 for ages.
North Essendon WC Hawthorn and Port would have loved a Saturday afternoon home game.

Man playing Port Round 1 at the MCG is giving me flash backs.

To be honest though, i like this. Lets be fair we're really spoilt when it comes to Round 1, i think only three times in twenty seasons we've not played at the MCG Round 1. That said i'm happy coming down from the country on a saturday arvo before the local comps start and doing an old fashion walk to the MCG with all the anticipation of the season ahead buzzing around me.

Sunday arvo can be meh, but Good old Saturday arvo to bring in the season? Stuff your primetime slots, i wouldn't have it any other way

 

[schmuttt]

1:45 Saturday is a great timeslot imo

Saturday arvo is the traditional footy slot. Get around it

The swimming and **** cup.

 

[Headless]

Not complaining, but why do we so frequently play at home in Round 1?

Not complaining, but why do we so frequently play at home in Round 1?

To make up for generally always being hosed in the rest of the fixture?

 

[The Dr]

We better get stacks of Fri night games.

I still can’t work out why we can’t have the GF replay as the opening game .

 

[ABray10]

Bet we still have less Friday night games than Carlton.

We are a good side to watch as well - neutral supporters enjoy our attacking chaos footy.
