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 know all the details yet.

Will still look deserted then.

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.

Logic says we won't be in the WA hub but they will still find a way...

Eddie's precious boys couldn't go, could they?

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.

So it's BAU for GWS then.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
