    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
