    Which is why it is good it is at metricon station on the gold coast.

    If our accommodation is on the gold coast (as I assume it will be) the lions players will have a much longer, and more annoying, commute.

    A 1hr commute in Qld is like driving to the corner store. Won't be an issue.

    and we still have to squeeze in the game against Essendon.

    Given it looks like being an 18 round season, with 10 teams still to have a bye, it will be in the Round from 13 to 18 that has no byes. Would think Round 18 is most likely.

    Well done to Burgess / Goody etc for being so professional, having already practised and prepared for the 4 day breaks during the COVID down time.

    We have a young team, so aside from Bennell, Jones, Jetta etc. I would expect the best 22 to play each week.  we could do some damage this year.

    Port game is now at 7.50, not 8.10. Carlton/Hawthorn moved to Friday.

    I like the attitude that we pic the best team and continue to play anyone, anywhere and at anytime. Goody did say if players pulled up sore they would be rested. 
     

    Also we can’t afford to rest our best players given where we are at.

    Great, so I can get to the pub 20 mins earlier after the game. Wahoo.

    Given how much we travel in the next 4 weeks I hope that it is recognised by the AFL and we travel a lot less in the next lot of rounds released.  Hopefully most games will be at the Gabba and Metricon  

    Im sure the pies and cats would expect that to.

    I assume you don't live in Victoria. Because my first thought was, great, 20 minutes more on the couch.

    Apparently it is a place, similar to a ye olde tavern of yore, where shockingly people gather in large numbers, in close proximity to imbibe dangerous liquor.

    You can but laugh at such a concept.

    nah, it's where you go see some people, elevated above others, strumming stringed instruments and thumping skins drawn tight to pound out a rhythm

    tis a laughable concept, verily

    Finally someone acknowledges our hard fixture! Hasn't rated a mention on 360 or On The Couch it was all about the Pies Cats and Bulldogs! Cats have a rough stretch but the only have to jump on a plane once from WA to Brisbane. It is rough being on a 4 day break but nowhere near as bad as what we've copped

    The Age is reporting that two teams will move to Cairns.

    "Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk confirmed on Friday the deal had been struck with the AFL and the matches will be played at the 13,500-seat Cazaly’s Stadium".  two-afl-teams-moving-to-cairns

    “It will be at the back end of this block that finishes around August 20. I think a couple of clubs will go there for three to four weeks".  McLachlan

    It won't be an SA or WA team as they did their 'hubs'.  Surely, we can't be one of the teams. ? 

    The best way to avoid Cairns is to win games.  The AFL will probably send teams out of finals contention...

    We are supposedly playing in Alice so maybe not a candidate for Cairns but it may come down to which state goverment the AFL is more beholden to. 

    I think I'm over it now.  Just take each game as it comes.

     

    Edit:  “Three AFL Premiership games will be played at Cazaly’s Stadium and two clubs will relocate to Cairns temporarily with strict quarantine protocols and the COVID Safe Industry Plan in place,”.  afl-headed-to-cairns

    So two teams will hub there and other teams will FIFO to Cairns.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
