    Sorry bad phrasing by me. What I believe is, if their states don't allow fly in/out, they'll be required to hub over here until they do, thereby enabling all clubs to participate

    ...and watch Collingwood get to play WCE, Fremantle and the S.A. sides in Victoria  as "away" games in the first of the hub games.....then when the hubs are removed, they can play all their home  games in Vic.

    surely the AFL would not allow that ?

    Seriously though with the WA and SA govt positions this is starting to look like a real mess. Like many the AFL assumed they would roll over as NSW and Qld did for rugby league but it's proving a little tougher

    Fine. Just don't have SA or WA clubs in the comp this season. In fact announce it today and watch the premiers crawl into a hole.

    So anyone have any idea who might be our R2 opponent?  Its such an interesting proposition from now on, going 0-2 witha poor percentage in a 17 round year is equivalent of being 1-4 after 5, long way back. Im starting to get excuted about the prospect of footy, seing Pickett again, watching Jack Viney competitive instincts take over again, what will Petracca do? Can Fritsch be the jack in teh pack and is Tim McDonald a good forward or did he just have a good run? will May and Lever stay on the park? and the most exciting is will Bennell be a factor. Its not footy as we know it, but its something.

    well looks as though it wont be Collingwood or Richmond.

    I wouldn't mind the Swans or Hawthorn.Both are 50/50 games if we are going to be any good and a win would give the team and supporters a confidence boost. Going 0-2 not to mention 0-3 would just kill my interest for the year and given there isn't much to do on perpetual lockdown that would not be good.

    We'll get Suns or Port or North as home game for sure... Big viewing games...

    WA clubs have said they prefer to hub in Southern Qld and not travel.

    Interesting concept of donation.

    If followed through the club  will need to offer a clear choice between donation or refund/credit. Careful what you wish for is my suggestion.

    It sucks for the WA and SA clubs but you'd imagine in oder to give them compensation for having to do hubs they will try to give them long runs at home leading to the end of the season. 

    I still think it's an overreaction by the WA and SA governments to impose such strict situations on AFL clubs, but at the same time I get it. Both states have prevented outbreaks, while WA in particular has vulnerable communities that could cause massive problems. Health trumps professional sport.

    I wonder if the AFL has put forward to both States a mini hub of their own, as both states have low amounts of cases could the WA/SA clubs play each other first. Then thats at least three games, maybe over a week and a half/2 week period that they aren't in a hub.

    The AFL are playing with Fire

    This Germ is still alive and it is still in Victoria. Winter is almost here..

    Full contact Sport and they expect all players to stay home for 20 weeks....

     

    Popcorn time....

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
