terrible if true,why bother playing a pointless game

Every club is locked down so find it hard to believe “you heard it on the grapevine” from anyone, Several teams have flown interstate under the same conditions & no one has had any complaints. Even if true ...everyone out there is living with a degree of fear & uncertainty so “poor form” to post that !!

According to 3AW there's an AFL press conference scheduled at the same time as our game.

Gil to speak 3.30pm our (Qld) time which I assume will be 1/2 time of Lions/Hawks game. Stay tuned folks.

I might be wrong but I’m pretty there’s no hotel stays on this trip.. it’s a fly in/ fly out on the same day process

Instagram stories seem to indicate they flew yesterday afternoon.


Several times last year I vented my frustrations of Oscar McDonald. He's now had one more pre-season to hone his skills. Today he'll come up against Kennedy and Darling, last time they met I remember they kicked ~6 goals as a direct result of poor performances from Oscar (out-muscled, out-marked, and out-ran).

Today is a fresh start for him, but at least, today will mark my expectations of him for the rest of the season. If he gets pants yet again I will eagerly look forward to the returns of Smith and Petty from injury.

Gill HAS to let this last game of the round to go ahead! Let us see our boys!

I think you’re correct Joeboy. I was of the belief they flew over on the same plane the freo players flew back on. And then fly back after the game.

How much do we need to win by to finish on top? 

Just have to score 2.63 times as much as WCE.  No worries.

So i signed up to Kayo to watch a single match over 2 months today. Damn ?

I hope to god we win or i wont even bother with the replay.

 

 

Pity the poor Aussies who wont have a job in a weeks time.

    Yeah but what if a key player goes down with a serious injury. Yes it can happen anyway but I'd be devastated if a player went down with a serious injury. 

    Seriously the person started this virus has a lot to answer for

    Yeah, don't care about the game at all now. Couldn't care less if we win by 100 or lose by 100.

    Far more important things going on in our country to worry about than footy. Put it on the back burner and focus on those who are ill, at risk and struggling for work. Get everything right first. 

    I hope everyone on Demonland is doing okay during this tough time. Let's make sure we all stick together here. Love you all.

    They haven't called off the rugby yet so I'm keeping it but once that goes I'm cancelling.

    In the same boat Wise, hope the traffic on here continues for a while even if it’s just to give someone a bit of a smile for a few seconds.

    I'd be expecting payment from Kayo to actually watch rugby.

    6:40 is such a late start. Still can’t believe the AFL scheduled the game for this time considering what we all know about Perth’s weather this time of the year. 3:40pm Perth time? Sun will be absolutely peaking! 

    But we’ll still get up, so...

    ??

     

     

     

    Its 31 degrees in Perth at the moment. Easterly blowing with a little bit of cool air now and again. Not too uncomfortable and cooler by the river.

     

    Will be interesting to see how the players respond knowing this will be their last game for quite a while.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
