Flying to Europe is one thing. A flight to Melbourne is like 22hrs from Philly.

That's got to be a game 1 or something. Asking a lot for 2 teams to recover from the travel and time zone change to play the following weekend. Or they both take a bye week after that game.

And also what time is the game? 16 hours ahead here. Is it a night game in Australia or in the US? If they had to play Brazil on a Friday, can’t do that this time, because it’ll be Saturday there, and then almost Monday when they get home.

2 pm PST is 9am the next day in Australia. 5 pm pst is the prime time slot in North America.

So very likely it’s a Friday night here game for a Saturday noon start down there. Can only do that for week 1. But would be a rough week 2 for the clubs to recover from.

I don’t think they can play the game any later than Friday afternoon in Australia, and then the Eagles would host whoever Kirk Cousins is playing for on Monday. Maybe they do a double header on Thursday on NBC.

Not really a surprise. During his time, they took two big swings at QB. Neither worked out, and the second swing has also kneecapped the team. They need another rebuild cycle to replenish the talent holes created by the Watson trade.

He knows they have no hope of being a playoff team for the next couple of years.

Yep, this is how I see it as well. 12:30PM start in Melbourne which is 8:30PM in Philly and 5:30PM in LA.

Could they play the game the weekend of Labor Day? Then it would give the teams extra time to come back and play week 2.

Since they gain a day coming back maybe it isn't an issue. They should be back in their town by Sunday AM. And then have them play a home game in Week 2. The jetlag will be rough though.

There's almost 0% chance this could be done in September.
The Australian Rules football finals series runs throughout September with usually at least 1 match a week at the MCG, and the Grand Final being played there on the last Saturday in September.
I can't see the AFL, who has an agreement with the ground, allowing another sport to potential ruin the turf during the finals series.
From October there's a large gap until the cricket season starts, so you could fit a few games in before they need to get the pitch sorted out.

MCG is a weird venue to choose. Will look great if you can get 70k+, but less than that and it looks a bit empty on TV. It's also huge (playing surface is approx 180 yards by 140 yards) so the field will look weird with a lot of spare grass on all sides and the fans will be well away from the action.

She inherited team halfway thru 1983 season with almost all the SB talent already in place

Team went 10-6 the next year (Losing NFC Champ to 49ers) and then 15-1 SB season happened

Her and her idiot son (Michael who she named President after taking over team) are major reason that was only SB win
 
She also killed the Honey Bears

Bring back the Honey Bears!
