well that season didn't last long.

You wonder whether they will cancel the game this afternoon. It seems rather pointless given the South Australian lock down. WA will be the next one to announce similar rules and of course Qld.

    How often do Melbourne teams play in Perth on a  Sunday night?  And in 30 degree heat?

    You think wed get a 7 day break after that, but no, we are back at 1 pm at the G on Saturday.  Ridiculous scheduling.

    heard on the grapevine that this has not been a good trip for Melbourne. They had to move hotels and have had little sleep and stability pre-game. Players vomiting from the overpowering smell of disinfectant. This will be the last game for a while, men or women. The only option seems to have all the teams playing and staying in a remote venue and doing as many games as they can in a month or so. It seems this is more to meet advertising contracts not footballing needs. To continue the existing season will be near impossible and may damage the AFL brand. Put a line through this season and maybe plan a carnival type format in a few months if it is safe.

    I don't know, if it was me I would be pretty angry and determined, if the team could be inspired. Wins and losses will be meaningless in a dead season.

    Surely this can't be true?

    AFL wouldn't let this happen surely?

    terrible if true,why bother playing a pointless game

    If the above is accurate and some of our players are unwell and vomiting I hope the club has taken appropriate steps to get the game called off. I think this a little different from eating a slightly dodgy burrito the night before.

    Yes it does.

    It fits under mental health.  You cant tell people to lock themselves inside with zero stimulation unless you want the mental illness epidemic to get even worse, and mass suicides to occur.

    The AFL must continue on.

    Not a chance it will happen now...

    Ours, if we make it that far will be the last game in quite a while.

    I really wish the AFL had of done the right thing early and saved our players the distress of travelling at this time.

    Not just our players but all players, you can see their minds aren't 100% engaged in the games to date.

    oh please,get a grip

    The South Australian border closure has an exception for professional sporting teams with an approved disease control process in place.

    We could still see the season limping on.

    So there is no simulation available other than AFL?  Which century is that?  Not the 21st.    I don't recall reading about mass suicides in Europe in 1348, or England in 1665 or anywhere in 1918.   And sorry to be brutal, but a few compared to mass deaths by infection?

    So some hermetically sealed footballers will be fine? I like it. As long as they're not carrying any fruit. 


    Just a thought.

    This could well be the last game of the year.

    Then it follows...

    If we win, we are the 2020 Premiers.

    I call BS. There was video of the players gathered yesterday watching the women’s match. They seemed up and about.

    • 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.

      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.
