    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
