Details around Melbourne’s final game of the season – a clash with Essendon – are yet to be confirmed.

Why TF do we play 2 games in cairns. 
 

FMD wouldn’t it be a better option if Brisbane and Gold Coast played up there and try to increase their market share. 
 

The AFL REALLY KNOW HOW TO F... us over.

The positive is we only meet one team that comes off a longer break than us - Freo has 5 days v our 4 into that match.

All other games we either have the same break (Syd 5 v 5) or a longer break (Bulldogs 7 v 6), (Saints 7 v 6) and (GWS 5 v 4)

Playing round 17 on Saturday you would think a 5 day break is a short as it will be for the round 18 match. 

If we stay fit cant see us losing one from here haha 

Perspective is a wonderful thing, only one of those warmer climate games is during the day. I do think the Ess game is going to be a tough one.

Meanwhile Brisbane have not left the state since round 1and the furthest they've travelled is an hour to Metricon. 

They'll be filthy they have to fly to Cairns for 1 match. 

The boys will be chuffed, think of all the frequent flyer points they are accumulating, they can use them to go to Bali on the end of season trip! Winners!

 

WINNERS

  • Port Adelaide: No short breaks and pretty easy opponents sets them up perfectly to finish on top of the ladder.
  • Richmond: They avoid playing in WA at all this year, and have longer breaks heading into showdowns with the Eagles and Cats than their opponents.
  • Hawthorn: The easiest remaining draw including four home games which could still be moved to Tasmania if they open their borders.

LOSERS

  • West Coast: Five games in 19 days, including two four-day breaks heading into their toughest games against Richmond and St Kilda.
  • Essendon: They face three flag contenders in 11 days, plus their rescheduled game with Melbourne in Round 18, who’ll likely be playing for a spot in the eight.
  • Sydney: They have games left against the teams currently 1st, 2nd and 3rd on the ladder.

About time Ess had a tough run.  They have been blessed with little travel.  Ditto Saints and Richmond.

Here are some preliminary thoughts I have:

  1. Collingwood doesn't leave the Gabba until the final game, in which they are the home team, so feasibly won't leave the Gabba for the rest of the season;
  2. St Kilda play every game except one at the Gabba/Metricon from Rounds 9-17 (and as they are the home side in Round 18, are likely to stay in Queensland for that game). Over the same period we play games at Alice Springs, Cairns and Adelaide, in addition to Gabba/Metricon.

 

Please explain a 4:40pm start on a Thursday? I know most of Victoria is unemployed right now, but still. Odd.

Clearly PIES AND SAINTS are also given preferred treatment.  Not the Dees. We are the kings of travel in 2020

West Coast have to leave home.....  what a shame

I hope they schedule the GF in Perth and WC don't make it.

If MFC happen to somehow win the flag and we can't go, I hope it's in Perth so their supporters bear witness.

Did I mention I hate West Coast?

Great to see the AFL has scheduled the QBW match up at 5:10pm on Saturday while the blockbuster Freo vs Carlton game follows in prime time of 8:10!

Total number of venues played at to Round 17 (it's possible some clubs may see this tally increase by 1 for their Round 18 game, or in the case of Hawthorn/North if they get home games shifted down to Tasmania):

  • Adelaide - 3
  • Port Adelaide - 3
  • West Coast - 3
  • St Kilda - 5
  • North Melbourne - 5
  • Fremantle - 5
  • Bulldogs - 5 (including 8 out of 10 in a row at Metricon)
  • GWS - 6
  • Richmond - 6
  • Collingwood - 6 (including either 5 or 6 straight at the Gabba)
  • Brisbane - 6 (all games in Queensland from Round 8-18)
  • Carlton - 7
  • Sydney - 7
  • Geelong - 8
  • Essendon - 8
  • Hawthorn - 8 (including a home game against Adelaide, in Adelaide!)
  • Melbourne - 9

Thumbs up for us, if we play finals of course. I expect we’ll need a spell after the frantic finish.

Perspective

One was bad luck (Eagles in the first round)

The second is our fault in that we need the NT money and thus Alice Springs

Imagine if we'd had to go to Tasmania !!

At 7 venues we're in the mix.

There is no doubt that Saints were favoured simply because for a while they were good for the media narrative.

2021 likely to be be a strange season as well


So... what would you bid ??

Queensland has not ruled out throwing money at the AFL to fend off other states hoping to host the grand final later this year.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she would wait for Victoria and the AFL to formally relinquish the MCG's rights to host the game before putting money on the table....

If I was her, I would be prepared to pay quite a bit, as long as it's played in October. Queensland's State election is being held on 31 October.

no chance of a prefinals bye this year surely.

why bother playing all these 4 day breaks just to have a bye. most teams are getting a bye anyway

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
