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.

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
