Who wants to bet that we'll be one of the teams heading to WA?

 

My fingers are crossed! And let’s hope members are allowed to attend as well.

    You would assume that only teams that haven't already played one of the WA teams would go to Perth should a hub be established there.

    Of course, I'm assuming rational thought at AFL HQ. To be fair, I think Gil and his (shrunken) team have been quite rational and reasoned in the way they have approached the challenges of this particular year.

    What happened to the Round 2 Crowd thread? Caroline Wilson stating fans will be allowed into the Gabba and Metricon this weekend.

    Not sure where the round 2 crowds thread went, but just been announced GWS will be able to have fans at their game this weekend.

    Don't be mean, I'm sure they'll both turn up.

    BBO and I travelled to Canberra a few years ago to watch us play them. In front of us was a group of medicos and academics decked out in new GWS colours. They chatted all game about anything but the footy, despite winning comfortably. Half way though the last I made the comment out loud that I was looking forward to hearing them sing every word of the GWS song after the siren! Of course, they had no idea.

    At least we know it wont be us.

    Whatever makes the season a success though. AFL must be working 23 1/2 hrs a day to do all of this on-the-run organizing.

    why... we've already done the trip

    Can't be us, as we have already played West Coast in Perth in round 1. Lucky!

    It will have to be Carlton, Dogs, St Kilda and Collingwood if I'm not mistaken, as they are the only 4 Vic clubs who aren't playing any of the WA teams in this next block (or played them in round 1).

    Some of those teams play each other though within the first five rounds.

    Simple solution, get rid of the social distancing laws. 

    if in 4 weeks time there is little to no community transmission following mass protests then governments will need to start reassessing current strategy. including easing rules around large gatherings.

    im still confident tbh that we'll see a live match this year at some point. at worst it'll be 1/3 of tickets available (1 person every three seats).

    1,000 allowed at the GWS game this week and just announced that around 2,200 (including private rooms) will be allowed in for the SA showdown too. We're definitely getting closer.

    Makes sense

    No cost in loss of local support and means less if any travel next year.

    Eddie knows that 2021 is where the money is.

    Forget ET the news breaker. binman is the Nostradamus of  demonland. A pro pontificator.

    Hubs: tick

    Crowds at footy: tick

    Omac in team: tick

    Next predictions:

    Harley Bennell: the best recruit (ie from another club) the MFC has had. Ever

    Scoring: teams to be more attacking this year with a much greater emphasis on scoring

    2,200 odd allowed in to the Showdown.

    1,400 odd Port members will go in a ballot.

    Should be first in best dressed rather than a ballot.

    I might be shouted down, but what about auctioning tickets to the highest bidders? I don't usually support inequity like this, but the clubs need money more than usual and perhaps following a more mercenary route might be acceptable under current circumstances. I hasten to add I would not support such a strategy in more normal times.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
