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.

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.

The pineapple is the closest to the Gabba I believe. A good thing now is my daughter is old enough to drive so I have a free Uber home ??????????

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: 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?

    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?
