Does anyone know what the logic is behind shortening the Quarters??  I'm a little baffled by that one!  Really can't think of any reason for it.  Can anyone here shed any light??

They may have to play mid week games to counter the inevitable closure.

 

 

Had Bedford in my Round  1 team.  Probably the only one. to have him in

Well deserved Toby and Kozzi.  They will be such an exciting duo.

    No Jones or Salem according to this tweet. 

     

    Lockhart and Sparrow to get chances maybe?

    I expect sometime over the weekend, the AFL will re-release the fixture for the first 6 rounds and it will fit in say 4 weeks.  The peak of this virus is expected to be 2 or 3 months away and they want to get as many rounds in before they have an extended break.

    My intel is Eagles internal research is the crowd umps ground etc is on average a 5 goal head start

    Or in the case of a Preliminary final 10 goals...

    Super excited for Bedford. Has clearly had a big preseason and made a big step up from last year. Looked excellent in the Marsh games and really added something to the forwardline.

    I suppose that's about as logical as you can get.  Gotta admit, though, that if that's the reason, I really question how useful it will be...

    Let's say they played 10 minute quarters - would that make a difference to recovery?  Let's say they played 40 minute quarters - how about that?

    There's clearly some point that the duration of the quarters makes a difference and that has to be balanced with the spectacle as a match.  They've gone for 16 minutes which sounds like a good compromise to me.

    How awesome is it that we went from zero small forwards last year to now having Kozzi and Bedford debuting in round 1?

    And  they are two exciting indigenous talents as well .  Lets go Demons!

    He could still debut? 

     

     

    Scratch that,   just saw the Kozzie/Bedford video.

    I just wonder about the mental demons that come into play when you have to get on a plane in this crisis.

    The players have to be having some subconscious thoughts.

    I hope it doesn't effect game time but I fear it will.


    Young Jackson misses selection however he will be chomping at the bit to be playing soon for the red and the blue. Ready but has to wait his turn. Congrats to Kossy and Toby i am sure you will do us proud.

    I cannot wait for the crowd to scream there lungs out at the bounce of the ball. It will be deafening!

    Should be a rather different looking 22 than what we were putting on the park last year.

    That's pretty exciting on its own.

     

    Take the time out to feel for Bedford and Picketts family who unfortunately won't be there live to watch their kids debut. Years of sacrifices they've had to make and unfortunately not their to see the fruits of their labour.

    I don't think there is a ban on clubs inviting a couple of family members along.  As guests, they could sit with club officials ie non-football staff.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
