Apparently Dees one of three clubs to not have coaches or players affected, along with Geelong and Hawks.

    Hate to argue with you Demonland, but he is wrong. For someone who's job is to read the news, I'm surprised he hasn't picked up on the point that the players and officials he's talking about are subject to stricter contact controls and mandatory testing twice a week. That's what makes them "special".

    I concede. You have a point.

    Assume we now are highly unlikely to play the Dockers on the GC. 
     

    MOVE TO THE NT - games hosted in Alice Springs and Darwin 

    Yep, I agree. Send them all to the NT.

    Can we sell all of our games up there? Haha

    kangaroos-move-12-players-four-staff-from-melbourne-lockdown-zones

    We are one of only 3 clubs that didn't have to move people from lock down zones last night.  Roos had to move 12 players at a minutes notice.  Imagine the distress and impact of that on players and families.  Who knows when they will see each other again.  Ditto the impact of hubbing for SA and WA clubs for the last 4-6 weeks.

    I reckon those factors equallise the impact of skipping the Ess game which will be played in due course, probably in a bye round.

    So imv, from now on we (fans) can no longer claim that postponement overly disadvantaged us and folks that do are wearing blinkers tothe hardships other clubs' players are experiencing.

    When we go into a hub so will all other Vic clubs.

    It is now back to a relatively level playing field.  No more excuses.

    Same goes for all the others saying this season should be dumped or doesn't count for anything. In fact, someone should put together a list of all those who have said so. Might make for an interesting read later in the year.

    Mind you, I don't expect us to win the flag this year, but whoever does absolutely will have earned it.

    Are security guards low in immunity or low in IQ? I’m seeing a strong correlation between these people and the second wave of Covid in Victoria. The mind boggles.

    How are the security guards at the quarantine hotels and getting caught sleeping with quarantined people. Also falsifying records of security working.

    crazy times

    Or do not regard our advice with much respect.?    Perhaps a disregard for our ways.

    There seems to be a culture in areas,  where the word of our health professionals has met with little regard.

    It was the state govt that decided to use private security employees. Some of them had no experience in the job. It is the Andrews and co who are ultimately responsible for this mess.

    And who then is responsible for flying overseas returning citizens home, directly into Melbourne for quarantining,  dl4e.?   maybe  SloMow.?

     

    'right',  and as such,  who is responsible for most outbreaks in Sydney originally;  and in Nth Tasmania, dl4e.?    Via Ruby Princess...  after that ship was refused entry into New Zealand.

     

    Maybe the CoAttrition government.?     hmmn.

    Yeah and so what. Infact slomow was making excuses for Kim Jong Dan today. They are both guilty but there are no excuses for Andrews and his corrupt admin. You obviously look at thing through one eye.

    Privatisation across the board has caused a lot of issues.

    This is just another.

    The buck does stop at the top.

    I think these comments are totally unacceptable by an old [censored] and by a club president makes it even worse.

    Who are you to judge someone if they don’t think it is worth them putting themselves in danger for a game “with a valid reason”. F off!

    So, what's a valid reason...and who decides?

    One persons valid reason is another persons excuse.

    Ed really does make himself a target...Dermott has always had a bit of the buffoon about him, entertaining at times but not the smartest tool.

    It's comments like that from Ed that make it hard to land the best free agents. Richmond are open about caring for their players first and they get players like Tom Lynch to choose them whilst Collingwood gets .... Chris Mayne?

    That is what I find so hard to swallow on it, no care for the players involved, we just want to produce the product to make money. If you don't we will screw you over.

    None were free agents, although I missed Daniel Wells, who was offered a 3 year contract at age 31.

    If we win the 2020 Flag i will donate $1000.00 to the MFC trip away, and i will shortly rush off to lay that bet off...

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
