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


One country..one flag

"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."

This didn't age well! ? 

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. 


Another winnable game. 
lock in a 4-2 record by round 7

and yes I have been drinking

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 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.

    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.
