So we don't play today?

No point risking injury to a pointless game

The season is over

Bangkok is a ghost town right now

Food is only take out

Melbourne will be the same very soon

Our game is going ahead to ensure Rd 1 is completed - Via AFL App

Yeah I just read that on The Guardian. Tough conditions for the boys to play under.

With the game going ahead I wonder whether the news will make the players go harder or play more like a practice match.  It seemed to me that the games I've watched on TV (where else!) weren't very tough.  Or was I influenced by lack of crowd noise?

I wouldn’t be going flat out, that’s for sure. 
Hospital beds are scarce as of now. 
everything should stop now

Cities are going to be in lock down for months

Dan Andrews just said that he's listened to the advice of SWYL and is closings schools from Monday. 

Fyi, Melbourne is also a ghost town. The people are listening to you. 

Thank you.

The game needs to go ahead. If the season resumes in a couple of months we need all clubs on equal games played.  Besides I want see if have improved over last seasons debacle.

We knew all of this yesterday, and in the days before that.

The game was as much a waste of time then as it is now, so not sure why the big shift here to not play other than the as yet unconfirmed report that we moved hotels and some players were sick.

Everyone else has got to see their team play. I want my turn.  It'll be the last time for a while

Nah, go hard as, they all have 4 to 6 to get over any injuries. Make the trip worthwhile, far from a junk game, show how hard you worked for this season.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
