What happens if there is a spike in cases in NSW over the next few weeks which wouldn’t be out of the realms of possibilities? Season surely cancelled.

    Pretty sure home games have been thrown out the window. The AFL just wants games played for $.

    Agree, except I can't see why they would make us "host" GWS or Sydney at their home ground.

    We'll end up having "home" games in other states. So long as they're against other random clubs (e.g. we host Adelaide in Sydney or we host the Dogs in Alice Springs), that's completely fine with me.

    There is a lot the AFL can't control in this season but one thing they can control is not making sides "host" their opponents at their opponent's own home ground.

    A real risk, IMO.

    Victoria's current problem stems from two things: bad management of hotel quarantine, and bad luck.

    NSW has the first one under better control, but I suspect it's more likely than not that the second one will hit at some point.

    At least that Hawthorn game should be on FTA for us. Which is inexplicable given how we're playing.

    I’d say we can thank Hawthorn for us being on FTA rather than the AFL deliberately putting us on FTA.

    Hopefully GC cop a belting tomorrow night, lose confidence and our game against them can be more of a 50/50 affair.

    Sensible move, which is within a bee’s appendage of being too late. The only alternative is to abandon the season.

    GF should be played at the home ground of the highest ranking team. Hopefully that becomes a lasting change, in the era of a supposedly national competition, there is no reason for the MCG to have dibs on every grand final and this is proof.

    Well, apart from the contract with the MCC that is.

    That’s to cater for the WC v Adelaide game which starts at 3:20pm.

    so you mean we start when it finishes? not sure how that caters for the previous game. 

    very strange to have a 6pm game. no-one will be watching aside from us diehards

    Why,  you don't think we can shut them down and rebound on them.   And Win.

    Saints have been fantastic this season aside from the one game they didn’t play at Marvel.

    They'll be on the road for weeks so that will determine if they’re the real deal.

    Good luck with that one. There is a 30 year contract in place and works projected at the ground based on that income stream.

    Because they have a coach who is more than one Dimensional. And they have forwards who kick goals.

    You can tall all of this,  after 3 or 4 games.

    No but I can tell from Goodwin's 3+ years and Ratten's Time at Carlton and when he was a line coach at the Dees.

    I'm probably an outlier, but I don't mind Sunday games for this very reason.

    Sunday lets me retain that (misguided?) hope/excitement all weekend, whereas a Thursday loss would leave me [censored] off and not wanting to watch any of the other games.

    We don’t really play Thursday games so I have no real reference but I hate losing on Friday nights. Ruins the whole weekend. Never liked a Saturday loss either. Ruined Saturday nights. 

     Friday night wins are the best.

    Apparently Round 8 1952 was a national round where exhibition matches were played all over the country. 

     Anyone know where the Dees played?

    @Supermercado

    We played Fitzroy down in North Hobart. Sadly we got done by 20 points.

    Melbourne v Gold Coast, Giants Stadium, 6.05pm AEST    

    is this a misprint? who plays at 6pm on a Sat night?

    It’s 6:05pm. Great for people with young kids. Gives you 5 minutes to have dinner.

    At least it’s a Saturday. Can do early dinner. Shower and movie by 6pm. Have some popcorn and shut up until the game is done.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
