Surprised by the lack of celebration. The Tasmania-border-closure will probably be season-defining. 

I celebrated epically, and then realised we’ll still have to beat a side at Metricon Stadium that we have a 1-19 record against since round 9 2007.

This mediocre, middle of the road, average footy club beats us anytime-anywhere.

The game MUST be at Metricon or Gabba.  No reason for it to be anywhere else.

Surely the AFL can not shaft us again.

ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY 

THATS THE OBVIOUS 

HOPEFULLY AFL SEES COMMON SENSE

Was 50-50 at Blundstone - plus all the added effects of travel. Now 80-20. Makes a big difference in an 17-round season.

Plus 'epically' is a pretty impressive adverb.

Really we have only beaten them once in the past 20 outings? Wow that is a sad stat, even for us. Hopefully it means we are due for a few wins on the trot.

I think I’ll take the Gabba.

Gabba is a lot closer to their base

Well, seeing that North Melbourne’s hub facility is on the Gold Coast at the Mercure Resort, Metricon Stadium would be even closer. 

 If the game’s played at the Gabba, both clubs have at least an hour’s travel by road which would be fair in the circumstances.

Key factor will be money. Saves all the extra flights and hotels etc for 2 clubs. That is what the AFL will concentrate on.

Has the AFL let us know where we are playing our game against north in 11 days yet?!?

I though the roos are in the same resort as us


Working from home is really dulling my senses. Truly, my first thought when I saw this picture was that Covid had really aged Max Gawn.

Then read the piece and realised it wasn't him.

Does this mean Sydney & GWS will have to hub in Queensland (or another state)?

 Hopefully it’s Queensland so we don’t have to fly to play them. 

Sydney and GWS are scheduled in Queensland for the next 2 rounds, then they both have the bye in R11.

Sydney and GWS both have not played West Coast and Freo and are scheduled over there for R12 so will follow up with games against the Perth teams in the following 2 rounds R13 and 14.

Who knows after that?   The Giants still have to play Adelaide and Sydney still has to play Port so maybe they'll swing by there in R15.

Edited by Pollyanna

Sydney and GWS evacuating to a Qld hub tomorrow.  Will then hub in Perth for a few weeks.

Its hard to see the smaller states relaxing the border quarantine requirements so it looks like all bar SA and WA clubs will hub the rest of the season in Qld.

AFL will there work cut out to fit in NT games, Tassie games and Cairns games into the last 6 rounds still to schedule.

Sydney's played West Coast which lessens the effectiveness of sending them with GWS to Perth, but yes, I think this is what will have to happen.

So they have - you are correct!

GWS and Syd are scheduled to play each other in Perth at Optus in round 12.  GWS then play Freo and Eagles.  Syd play Freo.  Syd could play another team there from the next group to hub in WA or return to the east coast.

Given that Syd has played Eagles and is going over to play the NSW Derby and Freo the AFL could do the same to us.  They could send Ess to play Eagles but that is unlikely as they seem to get a dream run from the AFL.

The fairest thing to do is to send teams yet to play both Freo and Eagles:  North, Bulldogs, Richmond and Saints, especially as they have hubbed in Qld from the start and had precious little travel/disruption. 

This might be my MFCSS but we can't rule out a horror stretch in rounds 13 to 16.

Was just a reading an article and came across this DD. I can’t attach links for some reason, here’s an extract.

ROOS, DEES SET FOR VENUE SWITCH

_ Tom Morris reports..._

North Melbourne’s Round 11 game against Melbourne will now be played at the Adelaide Oval.

Foxfooty.com.au understands the Sunday evening timeslot on August 9 will remain as planned.

That just seems daft!  Why fly both teams to Adelaide...

We sure are being messed about and not getting any breaks at all.

I guess we will stay in Adelaide after the Crows game.  No point flying back to Qld and a long road trip to Maroochydore and do the same in reverse a few days later for the North game.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
