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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
