There is a strong likelihood Richmond will play Melbourne this weekend with the QLD govt playing hardball on the Tigers flying into QLD to play West Coast. Would leave West Coast to play Sydney

Yep,  it's a season like no other and will not surprise me if it happens such is the severity of Victoria's infection spike.

Gives us another opportunity to blame the footy gods when we play Richmond back into form lol. 

Perfect timing for the tigers to get back into form.

Also we have our schedule change again, something everything week when it comes to us

THE ROUND five fixture is set to be flipped on its head with West Coast's clash with Richmond on Thursday night expected to be postponed due to a hardline stance from the Queensland government. 

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Victoria, Queensland health officials have held fears of the Tigers flying in to play the Eagles on Thursday night. 

It would leave the West Coast-Richmond clash and fixtured Sydney-Melbourne game for Sunday to be split.  

AFL.com.au understands people at the Tigers were on Monday morning preparing to tackle Melbourne this weekend, while officials at West Coast were expecting to play Sydney.  

We were lucki to win our intraclub game last weekend so does it really matter who we play next??????

 

 

Bring it on! They are out of form and injured. We should match up well against them and get a win.


I'm guessing we'll play Richmond on the Sunday, and Sydney will be moved to the Thursday night to play West Coast.

Possibly throws Sydney's preparation out of whack as they've been preparing for a Sunday match rather than Thursday, but they at least played last Thursday and so get a full week's rest compared to us, we'd get 5 days with no notice.

Tigers have been poor this year. Have watched all their games, and they've lacked cohesion going forward, similar to us. That said, we've been bottom four 18 months at this point, so with the stars they have in Martin and Lynch, I'd expect them to get themselves up to beat us.

Once again we get screwed over, we would have beat Sydney on a smaller ground, tigers will beat us easy, this season can end already ffs

This season is  a goddamn circus, and we, as the resident clowns, fit right in.

We are the AFL's [censored].

And we just sit back and cop it in the ream end so easily.


Wow a tigers demons game promises to be such a high scoring shoot out.

Despite the spike in Victoria, total over reaction by Qld government.

The tigers backline will be purring and licking themselves all week to be comming up against the Melbourne forward line. Richmond will give us a bath.

AFL website reporting Carlton and St Kilda could play Thursday night.

What will it take for  this season to be finally marked as a total [censored] up and cancelled?

nothing; afl will do everything they can to make sure it continues

we all know that the only reason this season is going on is cos of broadcast $$ to keep clubs afloat

Also screws us for the Freo game the following week.

So we get one normal game out of the first 6.

Maybe Freo have to come here now for that one????

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

    It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
