Fixture 2020 (COVID Edition)

Latest:

Possible i/state Vic Hubs

Victorian clubs are still waiting to find out where they’ll be based next week, but likely new homes continue to emerge.

The Western Bulldogs are expected to join Geelong and Collingwood in Western Australia, according to multiple reports, and it’s likely another Victorian side will come along with them to ensure they have someone to play next week.

VEXIT HUBDATE:

As we told you on @7NewsPerth last night, expect @westernbulldogs to join @GeelongCats and @CollingwoodFC in WA hub as early as next week. Likely more teams sooner than expected.

League is heading for a condensed fixture that will see teams play 5 gm in 32 days.

— Ryan Daniels (@FootyRhino) July 2, 2020

Hawthorn and Essendon have been tipped to head to the Gold Coast, though it’s unclear whether they will go to Sydney first - a 14-day quarantine period would be required if they head straight to Queensland.

Melbourne, St Kilda and North Melbourne have all been linked to New South Wales, with several areas including Manly, Coogee and Wollongong named as potential hub locations, though Olympic Park is a strong option.

That leaves just Carlton and Richmond with their new homes unclear.

That means our catch-up game vs Ess won't happen for at least a month.

I wonder whether the 14 day quarantine starts when a team arrives in Queensland or leaves Victoria. If it's the latter, Essendon could go to Sydney first to play us and then play in Queensland the following week.

Possibly.  But if only two teams (Hawks and Ess) go to Qld they both need to go up at the same time so that they play each other (after 7 days) and can then play the two Qld teams in the following two weeks - same deal as the WA model.

 

On related note - the fixture is shaping up to be an enormous benefit to Brisb and GCS.  They will get a lot of Home advantages; not just Home ground but also the opportunity to live at home with their families and train in familiar environments with very little interruption to their routines and lives.  NSW teams will get similar benefit.  They can all bank wins very early in the season.

Going early but reckon the premiership will be won by the team that gets their emotions and head space together.

Good news is most of us can get into NSW to see our games.  So I look forward to the fixture.  Yes, Coogee or Manly would be good ?

NSW allowing the lowest crowds at present IIRC

And who go there.....MFC, Saints and North

WA full capacity = Pies, Geelong and Dogs

Small thing but we are increasingly irrelevant

Nice conspiracy theory but we can't go to WA because we've already played West Coast.

Having said that, North is being suggested as going to NSW but they've already played GWS and Sydney so I can't see the logic behind that.

But we could have gone to Qld or SA

Isn't it strange that the three lowest drawing teams go to the State with the lowest permitted crowds.

Sunday afternoon games aplenty for us I'm sure... we are a sponsor's dreamchild

DJ, it pains me to say it but that is all we deserve.  We may even lose the 3.30 time slot which is FTA on Ch 7.

I'm happy with Sydney.  We can go and watch the games live without going into quarantine.  Has to be a big positive for Dees fans.

We very well still might.

We've already had a FTA game and we've got another one coming this week. That will be 50% of our games so far on FTA. It's hardly a disaster.

NSW have said no fans from Victoria for a while

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jun/25/we-know-their-addresses-victorian-fans-banned-from-attending-nrl-and-afl-games-in-nsw

"Supporters will then have to bring identification when they arrive at the grounds, with any Victorian residents to be turned away. The AFL is expected to follow suit

The move came as NSW health minister Brad Hazzard revealed he had obtained assurances from both the NRL and AFL that they would not allow Victorian fans into games in NSW due to concern about the coronavirus spike in that state.

“The only people that will get in will be members of the clubs or season-ticket holders, where we’ll know all their details,” V’landys told AAP on Thursday. “It’s to assure the government that no one from Victoria will be allowed in"

Mate, get the tinfoil hat off. It has nothing to do with crowds and everything to do with who plays who. This is one of the most absurd posts I’ve read on here and that says something

This year can go and get stuffed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
