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

Not wrong. 

 

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.

"By the powers vested in me by no-one in particular, I hereby announce that Willmoy is not allowed to enjoy, celebrate or otherwise have any warm inner glow should the Melbourne Football Club win the 2020 Premiership."

 

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.

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.

Idiots. Should be sacked and thrown in jail. Caused another massive outbreak leading to more restrictions. Pathetic humans.

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...

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
