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.

AFL still have Darwin up their sleeves, maybe Alice Springs as well.

    Pretty sure we will be playing Adelaide in Alice Springs. No idea which round.

    While NSW might become a problem for the AFL, it will become a nightmare of epic proportion for the NRL. At least the AFL has WA, SA, Tassie and the NT as predominantly AFL-States/Territory from which it might be able to choose.

    Just read a headline (lol) saying NRL looking to move all clubs to QLD.

    Skirting all round the country to get the season done it's a bit funny... why don't they just take the whole afl to a neutral location say.. Tasmania or NT and get the whole season done asap

    Darwin probably about to come into the mix sooner than expected....

    Currently experiencing a balmy, covid free 28 degrees C with  a low relative humidity of 14%, ESE wind gusts up to 46 km/hr.

    If MFC are penciled in for hub here, expect to  have home ground advantage at Marrara. Let the circus begin.

    How the hell do I get tickets to Metricon on July 26?

    I hsve spoken with MFC and they don’t know how many tickets they will get but how else can I get my hands on some?????

    Not ideal playing Brisbane at Metricon instead of NSW, but it's probably better to have the certainly of where we'll play now, rather than be like GWS/Richmond or Sydney/Hawthorn who are in still NSW for round 8.

    Given how fast the COVID situation changes, who knows this far out whether those games will actually be in NSW, or moved, or even postponed.

    We already have one catch up game hanging over our heads, so maybe thats why we were shifted, to prevent possibility of 2nd?

    Thanks 58. I did contact them and they ask if I was a member and when I said no they couldn’t get off the phone quick enough. So in other words they were useless.

    I stress none of these measures can happen without strict quarantine protocols and the COVID management plan that has allowed the AFL season to proceed.

    This is another way Queensland is helping Victoria.

    As everyone knows, AFL is more than a sport to Victorians. We know how they feel.

    Given the choice between not having a season and having it based in Queensland, I think I know what the fans would like to happen.

    It means more Queenslanders can see more games.

    It’s another tick for the legacy of the Commonwealth Games and the Gold Coast’s Metricon Stadium.

    It’s more fire in the belly for the Suns and the Lions.

    And, as I told Gil, if the season is based here — then the Grand Final should be played here too!

    Negotiations between the NRL and the Chief Health Officer are continuing.

    The health and safety of Queenslanders must always come first.

    I loath that woman, however she is absolutely right to milk this for all it's worth. Without QLD we have no season and she knows it.

    In fairness they have done a brilliant job with the Dreamtime game and holding it in NT makes a lot of sense

    Well... Looks like I'll be purchasing 3 memberships for this year now.

    All politics is local politics. Queensland is going to the polls on 31 October this year, so expect a bit more of this while she pushes Queensland's credentials in a way that allows her to take some credit for it (while she prays that there's no outbreak of Covid in Qld before then).

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
