I think this is a good result, we avoid the Perth Hub. Indeed given the uncertainty of the year the idea of basing ourselves in Maroochy for a few weeks is not a bad idea. A familiar place for the team. I'd expect round 7 will be away against a Qld team. It will then be much harder for the AFL to put us in some other hub arrangement. I am not sure the whole home and away thing (apart from Geelong and the WA hub with crowds) is going to mean much this year.

    Either would be good. They’ll feel the cold after being in the GC for 4 weeks !!

    Home games are important because the Home team sponsors get to put up the signage etc. 

    Also, as I mentioned earlier being the Home team at the G get a special covid-19 payment from the MCC.   Of all the G tenants we have the lowest membership by far, so every $ counts for us and our sponsors.

    Boundary advertising goes to the MCC that is why Geelong make so much money with their clean stadium.

    You do get to put up some seat covers though

    "NSW health minister, Brad Hazzard, said he has been assured by the AFL and the NRL it won’t be selling tickets to NSW games to people who live in the Victorian Covid hotspots:

    I yesterday spoke to the AFL and the NRL, and pointed out that we obviously have these concerns. They’re very aware of them. And I want to say thank you to the AFL and the NRL for their immediate and positive response to ensuring that they will take all necessary steps is humanly practicable to make sure there are no tickets being sold to Victorians, particularly Melbournites and the hot spots."

    Looks like we have the Dogs.

    People are really whining about travelling to a neutral venue to play a winless team? I guess they'd rather play Freo at the MCG with no crowd, and have an extra away game later in the year.

    All it means is that we will have a run of games at the MCG later in the season, possibly against the big Victorian teams, and hopefully in front of crowds. If so, there is a fair chance that we get some prime time coverage if we win some games in the meantime.

    Playing Freo with some crowd on the Gold Coast depending on how many Qld Dee fans get there will be good for the team plus they get to play in nice warmish conditions with no dew. Should assist in show casing our skills !!!

    I spoke to my happy Garry Baker avatar and said he salutes your optimism, fully agrees that a midday game at the G at Metricon will be perfect for us and predicts a 37 point win.

    Bulldogs at the G in round 7, we at least have avoided the hub for now...

    What hub?

    We won't be in another probably as we have already done 5 away games  West Coast Carlton Essendon Sydney and Freo at a max there are 4 more away games maybe 3 so either 6 or 7 games will be at home MCG fir the rest of the season.

    They will qualify fir the $180/200 rebate from the MCC which is a godsend.

    Hopefully the Tigers Pies Hawks and even Saints  games and maybe a crowd can come but unless over 25,000 forget any profit.Maybe Port at Alice Springs  a good result !

    It is a season they we must start by showing we are up and about and Sunday would be an ideal start. A win over the Cats puts them 1_3 and we are 2-1.

    Freo Sydney and Cats plus Dogs  is a 3-1 Chance. Let's get our act together Dees in 2020 and show we are serious.

    No judgement here. Given our performance over many years, alcohol consumption and addiction to serious pain medication are forgiven.

    Updating the tally of interstate games for Victorian clubs to end of Round 7:

    1. St Kilda - 0 (just Marvel and the MCG for their first seven games)
    2. Carlton - 1 (plus Geelong)
    3. North Melbourne - 1
    4. Essendon - 1
    5. Richmond - 1
    6. Bulldogs - 1
    7. Hawthorn - 1 (plus Geelong)
    8. Geelong - 2
    9. Collingwood - 2
    10. Melbourne - 3

    And on the home/away ledger:

    1. Essendon - 5-2
    2. Carlton - 4-3
    3. Collingwood - 4-3
    4. Geelong - 4-3 (one home game in Perth)
    5. North - 4-3
    6. St Kilda - 4-3
    7. Hawthorn - 3-4
    8. Richmond - 3-4
    9. Bulldogs - 3-4
    10. Melbourne - 2-5

    Based on the above, you would have to think that Essendon, Carlton, St Kilda and North are all ripe to be sent to hubs in the second half of the year (minimal interstate travel so far, and all having already had a decent number of home games in their home state).

    In hindsight, playing that game in Perth in round one has been a blessing. No hub for us and especially now crowds are welcomed back in WA.

    A Red Jaguar.?  or Black.?

    We're having dystopian visions (a la Maxwell Rockatansky) of the apocalyptic 2020 footy season. So a Jag may be difficult to keep on the road, a HQ Monaro or a Falcon XB GT is preferred. Custom spray-painted with a suitably designed racy motif. Red and MFC deep navy Blue colour scheme.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
