Dees vs Tigers This Week

[Sir Why You Little 37,125]

Doesn’t matter who we play or where at the moment. 
Our List has some decent talent, but the Coaches have no clue how to use it

[Demon3 2,541]

Hard to stay invested in this season.. for various reasons but we really have been the team most affected so far.

[Demonland 73,140]

Round 6 vs Freo in QLD surely in doubt now.

We get [censored] out of playing a winless team.

Would be a good time to get the Tigers IMO. They have been ordinary since the restart.

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

If we're relying on beating teams at the right place and time I'd say our season was already [censored].

Screwed again

Why are screwed? We don’t have to travel and the tigers are struggling.  Not a bad time to get them

We will just get to play them in Melb now.

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

[Demonland 73,140]

CONFIRMED:

Fixture changes for Round 5:

[WA Demon Boy 966]

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

You are correct WWSW 

At some point though the season may become untenable. There is a strong possibility of further travel restrictions from the Qld govt. 

Imagine if another player tests positive 

It could become impossible to balance the fixture in any meaningful/ equitable way

I can see the comp being moved out of Melbourne for this season or at least for the next 6 odd weeks.

Would mean another two weeks of byes to accommodate quarantine.

The advantages of travel between non virus States plus crowds is very attractive.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,084]

Dimma asked the AFL to give the Tiges a kick start therefor they can feast on the dees

Either that or the whole comp will have to be played in Melbourne...

...or maybe it moves to the NT as someone suggested a while back.

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.

it's relatively easy now that you have three capital cities that allow crowds. The only variable is how many teams you locate in WA given the travel requirements.

Start packing Goody

[Robbie57 2,022]

A season where we get no breaks. Other teams have had the benefit of playing and knowing who they would play. A completely compromised season. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,588]

Let’s move to the NT.  Let’s get a crowd. Come on Gil.  I know you love Danger, Sel, Dusty and Nat, but show some love to the Dees. 
 

Round 8 
Dees v Kangas (Darwin)

Round 9

Dees v Saints (Alice Springs)

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.

[praha 11,240]

Looking forward to a slog, Richmond to be down one player from quarter time, we win inside 50s and clearances but barely scrape 50 points. Tigers by 17.
