I'll post this here rather than in the older Melbourne vs Essendon postponed thread. 

 

Oh my good lord that is laughable!!! His sanction was carried out because he was quarantined for breaking the rules and getting Covid.. you can't make this stuff up.

    Must say I chuckled when I read about his suspension.

    I can't believe the amount of whinging going on in this thread. (And I guess my opening sentence just contributed to it.) We know it's a difficult season, but why does this change make any difference at all? Subject to the possibility that the AFL can't complete its 17 round roster for reasons entitely outside its control, we know we're going to play everyone else and I can't see how the order in which we play matters in the slightest. If anything, we are slightly advantaged because we don't have to travel and we meet Richmond when they are out of form. (Does anyone believe Richmond will remain bad all year? If not, isn't it better to get them now?) 

    I suspect there will now be a bye somewhere to enable some teams to get a 14 day break which it looks like they will have to have when they relocate and we'll play Essendon in prime time on that weekend.

    I understand where you are coming from LDC but this did not just start because of the Virus year we have been watching the same things for three years. How does Brisbane rise from hopeless to their current position and we go back wards?

    This works out well for us.

    We had consecutive interstate trips to Sydney and QLD over the next two weeks.... now we dont.

    Quite likely and what's the bet we stink up our one big TV appearance.... just seems to be our lot.

    OD, the whinging I was concerned about was the number of compaints about the switch from playing Sydney to Richmond and suggestions that we are somehow not only worse off but somehow being screwed in the process.

    You have my agreement on the issues of game performance

    Yes what does it matter when we play teams, this Year we play each side once so what does it matter when?

    Ryan is a good mate of mine.

    Really great to see him getting serious traction in the industry.

    Absolutely ripping bloke and just loves the AFL.

    Oh well, if he manages to punch out a reasonable career in this industry, none of the above will be accurate.

    It’s of no difference to us if we play Sydney or Richmond this week. Both are equal likelihood to be an embarrassing loss. Now it will be televised too.

    This may have already been covered, but looking at the fixture, it would appear the AFL is likely to have to shift our game against Freo to Melbourne.

    I haven't seen Richmond play since the re-start. Are they just out of form, hit by injuries or on a rapid decline after a few years of success? Or all of the above?

    No idea but you can get short odds on us sparking their turn around.

    We're in a great position for 2021. Imagine how psychologically crushing it would be sitting in the top 4 with a big percentage, ready to break a multiple decade premiership drought when the season is called off. ?

    So McKenna get basically no penalty for visiting family and going to several open for inspections (which is apparently allowed).

    I also know for a fact he visited friends.

    that really clears things up for the players. I am sure there will be no further positive tests after the AFL came down so hard on Mckenna for derailing a round of footy

    Or we could look at it as an opportunity to hit Richmond while they're well off their mark. Obviously we're playing trash football too but I'd rather face this Richmond than Richmond of 2019.

    Will the difference be noticeable Luther.

    Nothing I see suggests we will do better than 2019. It is like watching the re runs of a bad movie.

    I will be one of them.    ?

    • 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.
