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. 


my stomach is turning..........

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).

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
