AFL Rd 3 2026 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne

Today at 12:43:59 am

I know the AFL hate us, but the scheduling of the next few weeks is seriously diabolical.
[1] Rd #2 Bye. Then an extra long wait before our next game when we really need game time into our players.
[2] vs Melbourne on a Sunday afternoon - not bad in itself, but then we have 2 short weeks in a row, Can't they schedule us for a Saturday? Or a Friday night?
[3] Good Friday against North
[4] Thursday night against Collingwood

Do other teams get screwed around like this?

Enough rant for the moment. After our bye, we play Melbourne at 15:15 on a Sunday (29th March).
I have no idea how good Melbourne will be, but they are going to miss their stars eventually.
Gawn is too good for our rucks. I'm not sure what we can do about that.
