    I'd assume that Pies and Blues would only go for two weeks and alternate playing Freo and WCE and in the third week Freo and WCE play the derby whilst the Pies and Blues travel back to Vic to play. Then again no crowd in Victoria so you may be onto something.

    Odds of Grand Final in WA have shortened from 100,000-1 to 5,000-1.  Might get 60,000 at optus stadium versus nil at MCG. I don’t like it !! 

    It would be interesting if two Victorian teams made the Grand Final, and would either (a) not be allowed into WA at all or (b) have to quarantine for two weeks before playing the grannie.

    Could set an awful precedent.

    ...and don't the AFL have a 1000 year agreement with the MCC/MCG trust that the grand final is always played at the G?

    I can see the MFC ending up at the Qld hub sooner or later.  If so, they should try to comendeer the Maroochydore facilities and accomodation that we normally use, so at least it feels a little less foreign.

    Wouldn't mind us playing the Lyons and Suns up North - at least I might get to see us play live once this year.

    On our first home fixture for 2020, does anyone know if the club has anything special planned for this week’s match? I notice many teams have gone with cardboard cutouts of fans. The Doggies adding advertising into the stands for Pal Dog Food. Are we up to speed with this? Or are we being inactive as usual?

    I read that any i/state teams will need to go into 'hub' style quarantine for 14 days on arriving in WA. 

    During quarantine they play each other as they are banned from playing a WA club in that time.  Freo and WCE play each other in that round.  After quarantine each i/state team plays Freo and WCE in the two subsequent rounds. 

    Whether the i/state teams stay 2 or 3 weeks depends on the break between games.  But I would guess they will be there for close to 3 weeks.

    This can be repeated until they run out of teams that haven't played each other or a WA team but it may need a bye week if it is repeated in WA.

    I would be very surprised if there isn't a bye at some stage to allow more hubs or catch-up games.

    Edit:  Confirmation of above - Collingwood and Geelong are expected to be the first clubs to head to a Perth hub for three weeks, playing one another in quarantine and then both WA clubs in front of packed Optus Stadium...The Victorian clubs are expected to be in WA from July 11-August 2. It is unclear whether they will play round six in WA or Victoria. Source: WA Hub

    I like it. A July/August hub with games v Lions v Suns v Saints would be a good outcome. Weather would be okay and good to avoid southern winter. 
     

     We have already travelled to Perth so safe from that. 
     

    Other possibility is Tassie hub with Hawks, Kangas and perhaps Swans. I like it, though August in Tassie would be frosty “cool”.

    Absolutely depressing that Perth will host 60,000 to a footy game in mid July, while 1 million Victorians face a potential lock down at the same time.

    I'm from Perth so it's all cherry ripe here baby!

    Cats and pies - 3 games on the trot in WA, suck on that! 
    I wonder if they will complain as much as WC are in QLD. Their whinging has been embarrassing.

    Yep. Funny how the teams who are losing up there are having a sook, while nothing from Port....

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
