    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....

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
