In Round 6 we are supposed to be going to QLD to play Fremantle. Based on QLD's rules that cannot happen.

In the same round Brisbane is supposed to be coming Victoria to play Collingwood. Based on QLD's new rules that cannot happen.

Do we play Collingwood in Round 6? Fremantle have already played Brisbane so they cannot play again.

A Victorian hub is the only viable way forward imo

    Not as simple as that. Will WA let Freo back into WA after being in the perceived plague ridden state.

    They definitely won’t let Melb in, I dare say they may Freo to fly in and out

    So any Qld side that plays a team from Vic have to quarantine for 14 days. Aren't AFL clubs in a type of quarantine anyway in that they train in secured facilities and are only allowed to visit family.

    AFL are now investigating sending all Victorian teams interstate.

     

    All sounds good but...

    Check out what's happened with the Warriors.

    ...by the way what a class act the Storm are..

    Have great admiration for Bellamy, Smith and Hoffman.

    That may happen very quickly if the Qld gov't sticks to this line:  "The alteration requires that any Queensland or Queensland-based team who plays in Melbourne or against a Melbourne team in Queensland is required to quarantine after the match for 14 days if they are remaining in or returning directly to Queensland". 

    GCS play in Melb for round 5 and 6 and Lions to play in Melb in rnd 6 and they may not be allowed back home.  Probably hub in Melbourne.

    What the AFL cannot juggle is if all the compromises mean some teams have to play another twice and others not at all.  Bound to happen.  At that point games can no longer be for a premiership, as we know it. 

    The AFL will probably dream up some wanky round-robin games and/or weird finals structure ala the AFLW before it was cancelled outright.

    They actually play in Geelong, so I think they can avoid the new rule by just avoiding Melbourne altogether (e.g. flying in/out of Avalon).

    The problems will begin to mount from there, though. We can't play Fremantle next week, Brisbane can't play Collingwood either.

    And there is a third limb to Queensland's new rule: if a Queensland team plays any side who has been in Melbourne in the previous 14 days, they have to quarantine.

    There is every chance the 10 Victorian teams will have to leave Victoria to keep the season going.

    You could leave the Sydney teams where they are and locate one or two of the Melbourne teams there.

    The relative good news for MFC is that we would not be an obvious candidate for the WA hub.

    But who have the family visited with and how many open for inspections have they attended?

    The AFL know that the WA teams, Geelong and Collingwood need to go into 14 days quarantine once they arrive in WA.  Good chance we will head to QLD as we haven't played the 2 sides up there as yet, plus we can play the SA sides up there as well.

    What is the chance Geelong do not have to relocate?

    We were playing Fremantle at Metricon Stadium in the Gold Coast hub.

    That seems unlikely now.

    Doesn't matter if they're staying playing and training in secured facilities. It shouldn't get out to the wider community and I'm sure they'll be tested before and after they get there, complete overreaction.

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

    The AFL can't afford to do that, and by extension that means we can't afford it either given we rely so heavily on AFL financial support.

    Cancel the season and you can say goodbye to our club.

    Sadly we need to suck it up and get on with this ****show of a season.

    I'm wrong: they can't play Geelong because Geelong was in Melbourne yesterday.

    This will all be very interesting.

    What a ridiculous decision by the states. The AFL players and coaches would be one of the most tested populations in the world.

    AFL needs to keep the game alive

    Fairly sure I don’t want the current game style alive, it is doing way more harm than the virus.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
