Surely we would play Freo one week, stay in town and play Sydney the week after?

That or play there in Round 15, in Brisbane or Gold Coast Round 16 and Cairns in Round 17.

It's about a two and a half hour flight from Maroochydore to Cairns with very little road transport time to and from each airport. The road trip from Maroochydore to Metricon is just over 2 hours. In other words, there's not much difference in time to travel to Cairns or the Gold Coast to play. Is it more comfortable for the players to be in a bus or a plane for 2+ hours? And does being in a pressurised plane cabin make a difference? I think a plane is more comfortable than a bus (others may disagree) and I don't know the answer to my last question.

    Does anyone have information on Collingwood’s arrangements for this weekend’s match? Are they staying on the GC? Flying in the day of the game? The 2 hour bus trip we are taking is not ideal preparation.

    We played at 7 different venues in our first 9 games, and with Cairns on the list, we will have played at 9 different venues, at least, in our 17 matches this season.

    St Kilda, by comparison? 5 venues so far, a 6th to come.

    Adelaide? 3 venues.

    And we would've played in Tassie too if the AFL had their way! It's not that they're trying to screw us it's just that they think we're a minnow who won't complain when theyre kicked around - and they're right

    Plus the bus trip to the airport plus check in and wait time plus bus trip from Cairns airport to venue

    More like 4.5 hours door to door. Not ideal if done on game day

    I accept that there's more check-in and wait time for a plane trip than a bus trip, but the trips to and from the airport are really short at both Maroochydore and Cairns.

    Why have they fixtured this as a night game?

    Not a biggie - and the clubs could have asked for it - but the day matches are glorious and it seems like a lost opportunity to best showcase the region when international eyeballs may still be heightened. 

    They'll have to put a fluoro reflector on the boundary tree so no one runs into it.

    I assume because it is what the TV broadcasters want. Frankly, I agree with them.

    The players would probably prefer it at night. 

    There's a few high 20's/low 30's days coming up in Alice, which would mean that conditions would be near perfect for a 7:10 bounce.

    On a side note. The Carlton vs Suns match in Darwin sold out in roughly ten minutes. Not sure how many tickets were on sale but the 12,000 capacity has been reduced. Almost no hope of getting into Essendon v Richmond and my brief thought of a road-trip to Traeger (~7,000) to see the Demons is looking shaky. I'm sure our Victorian-based posters on here will have little sympathy though.

    Really Skuit why question a prime time Nat TV  night?

    if we win our next 2 and Saints only one of next 2 we are playing for 8 spot on the night!!!

    (May not be as GWS have given us another look at the 8 this round) 

    Agree they day vision is great but this is a footy match for Dees nit a NT tourism promotion 

    Ptob advertising in night will take care of that also.

    I remember the West Coast Eagles whining about hubs.

    Hopefully our club is complaining to AFL incorporated about our change of training areas.

    We have to include Casey in that as well, given our home is Gosch's.

     

    That was our decision Kev Casey !!!

    Had it affected us st all ?

    our worst games were at the G!!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
