What happens if there is a spike in cases in NSW over the next few weeks which wouldn’t be out of the realms of possibilities? Season surely cancelled.

    Pretty sure home games have been thrown out the window. The AFL just wants games played for $.

    Agree, except I can't see why they would make us "host" GWS or Sydney at their home ground.

    We'll end up having "home" games in other states. So long as they're against other random clubs (e.g. we host Adelaide in Sydney or we host the Dogs in Alice Springs), that's completely fine with me.

    There is a lot the AFL can't control in this season but one thing they can control is not making sides "host" their opponents at their opponent's own home ground.

    A real risk, IMO.

    Victoria's current problem stems from two things: bad management of hotel quarantine, and bad luck.

    NSW has the first one under better control, but I suspect it's more likely than not that the second one will hit at some point.

    At least that Hawthorn game should be on FTA for us. Which is inexplicable given how we're playing.

    I’d say we can thank Hawthorn for us being on FTA rather than the AFL deliberately putting us on FTA.

    Hopefully GC cop a belting tomorrow night, lose confidence and our game against them can be more of a 50/50 affair.

    Sensible move, which is within a bee’s appendage of being too late. The only alternative is to abandon the season.

    GF should be played at the home ground of the highest ranking team. Hopefully that becomes a lasting change, in the era of a supposedly national competition, there is no reason for the MCG to have dibs on every grand final and this is proof.

    Well, apart from the contract with the MCC that is.

    That’s to cater for the WC v Adelaide game which starts at 3:20pm.

    so you mean we start when it finishes? not sure how that caters for the previous game. 

    very strange to have a 6pm game. no-one will be watching aside from us diehards

    Why,  you don't think we can shut them down and rebound on them.   And Win.

    Saints have been fantastic this season aside from the one game they didn’t play at Marvel.

    They'll be on the road for weeks so that will determine if they’re the real deal.

    Good luck with that one. There is a 30 year contract in place and works projected at the ground based on that income stream.

    Because they have a coach who is more than one Dimensional. And they have forwards who kick goals.

    No but I can tell from Goodwin's 3+ years and Ratten's Time at Carlton and when he was a line coach at the Dees.

    I'm probably an outlier, but I don't mind Sunday games for this very reason.

    Sunday lets me retain that (misguided?) hope/excitement all weekend, whereas a Thursday loss would leave me [censored] off and not wanting to watch any of the other games.

    Melbourne v Gold Coast, Giants Stadium, 6.05pm AEST    

    is this a misprint? who plays at 6pm on a Sat night?

    It’s 6:05pm. Great for people with young kids. Gives you 5 minutes to have dinner.

    At least it’s a Saturday. Can do early dinner. Shower and movie by 6pm. Have some popcorn and shut up until the game is done.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
