No. Just no.

Anyone but them.

[censored] ground. [censored] crowd. 

Yes I know. I hate them but it makes sense. In this mad year.

    I would say it is GWS in Round 8 and Sydney in Round 9, going by this:

    Makes beating Hawthorn all the more critical given GWS at Giants Stadium is a formidable task the week after -  although hopefully we may 'host' them at the SCG.

    If the current NSW Covid cluster takes off, things are going to get tricky for the NSW hub. This flexibility the AFL talk about might soon have to be acrobatic.

    Given that there are now night games Thursday to Monday inclusive is it too much for our sponsors to expect some night time FTA cover.

    Another Sunday afternoon game I think against the Hawks... grrrrrr

    Although the Sydney numbers are small one more week of similar numbers and Qld will slam the gates. (It's an election year up there.)

    I'm maintained that if NSW can't host footy due to COVID, she's all over. Surely a bridge too far??

    The AFL will no doubt be panicking about the rise in cases each day.

    The AFL won't cancel the season until all states are in lockdown and also Manus /Christmas islands are ruled out

    DJ this is easy we are a póorly performed club with low supporters numbers. Our only chance is when we play a high number club like Collingwood or Essendon. Honestly we don't deserve a night game.

    Swans will be without Isaac Heeney, and hes  one of their few good players.  We gotta beat them

    Kennedy too.

    Surely if it’s our home game Brisbane should at least play us in Sydney.  What a joke to play them on the GC.  Brisbane are being handed the softest draw

    5 out of the 9 games are now night games. No matter how bad we are there are enough to go around.

    Seriously a night time win over the Hawks would be great for our future prospects. The next two against Sydney and GWS will probably be low rating fixtures win lose or draw

    PS.... I see we got Brisbane in a 6pm Sunday game... at least that's a start

    Brisbane at Metricon..

    Some teams were always going to benefit greatly from this mess of a season, and Brisbane are well and truly ahead of the pack in that regard.

     Going to be nigh on impossible for any Melbourne teams to make the GF  or even top 4 at this rate.

    Why not in Sydney if our home game? There is no other game in Sydney that day so can’t be a clash issue. Not only do we have to jump on a plane to play our home game in their state but we have to go and play them in greasy dusk/early evening conditions (which they are used to). Baffling.

    I agree it seems very strange

    Agree. Meanwhile Essendon who continue to get kissed on the [censored] with this years fixture are off to Adelaide to play the crows... AFL's pet team.

    I would say the AFL might be reading the tea leaves and ditching NSW as a hub option due to increased cases??

    Yes absolute Joke. I’d love to have Essendon’s draw thus far. Anyone would think they finished 17th last year. Doing all they can for them the AFL.

    Not sure what the complaint is, Metricon is 4 mins close than Blacktown from Manly apparently..

    That's alright. 6pm start means we won't cop the dew we would if it was a true night game. Metricon looks in good Nick too

    Am I right to assume we will then be in a QLD hub? If so not bad either. Nice and warm. Perhaps they could use the facilities, ground etc they use for their camp. A good group of dees fans up there too to cheer the boys on.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?
