And there’s 2 friday night games because?

That is a shocking round of football. Very little of interest there outside of the death-ride.

Chickens vs Freo might be ok.

Chickens season on life support and Freo still needs to prove they are up with the teams that can contend.

Not a bad birthday gift. Carlton smashed, Vossy likely sacked, post-game fancam shenanigans, etc. Plenty to look forward if you ask me.

Now I got curious and wanted to see Essendon results on my birthday.

1998 beat port by 27 at the MCG
1999 beat Freo by 36 at the MCG
2003 beat St Kilda by 68 at Marvel

NEVER LOST ON MY BIRTHDAY!

My theory is it’s a way of them ā€œprovingā€ that playing two non Vic clubs in prime time doesn’t work. By doing it in a way that it’s setup to fail.

Lots of calls for showdowns and Derbys to be on Friday nights on FTA.

Ess v Bris 2001. Haven’t seen us play on my birthday since

You think you’ve got it bad?

I’ve got us vs Gold Coast on mine…silver lining is that I’ll be somewhere between Broome and Fitzroy Crossing so will have no idea what’s going on. :wink:

My Birthday 1990, does it get any worse
