    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....

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
