That’s what happens when you complain and the chef finds out. Very harsh response imo.

Wise choice

On the ABC last night Gladys said no return to lock-down in NSW - they have to learn to live with case spikes.  Definitely time for MFC and the AFL to get out of Dodge City.  Likely that Queensland (if they close the NSW border), SA, WA, NT and Tas will be the only available hub venues for the second half of the season.  Expect MFC to be on the road for a long period.

 

Yep the AFL is int he processing of moving

Love of r the dee's to come to WA for their base, that way I can go see them love every week for the first time in a long time.  Though I expect we'll being Queensland with the majority of teams. 


Looks like all Victorian teams are moving to Qld for the remainder of the season.

Everyone out of NSW soon, maybe last game on Sunday...but maybe not?

Seeing them play would be enough for me.

I can just see us having to leave NSW before Sunday and our match against the Hawks postponed. That would be so 2020 for us.

I wouldn't be surprised if we win our next 8 in a row, come in to flag favourites, then the season gets cancelled.  That's about all that's left to happen for our 2020!

My nightmare is winning a flag and not being there to see it. Don't get me wrong I'll take it but it truly would kill me in a first world problem kind of way.

I've sort of been there, done that. I was at the 1964 Grand Final but was too young to remember any of it.

I was there in 1988 and 2000. Still trying to forget it!!  Had quite a few beers before, during and after but the nightmare lives on!!!!

Long way to go before a GF. The spike can slip through the net as we have seen in NSW.

My parents weren't into footy in a big way back when we were winning premierships in the early 60's, so I could only listen on the radio (no live TV coverage).  I'm yet to SEE us win a GF.

I’d recommend the Meriton Suites At Broadbeach.  It’s excellent apartment style accomodation.  Not the hotel one room setup. 

It’s only 5-10 minutes Bus trip to Metricon stadium. Good local shops and cafes. Woolies within 5 minutes walk.  Close to the beach.  Pacific Harbour shops close. 

Definitely not stay in Surfers. Too much trouble there. 

The only issue is proximity to the casino. Don’t want to tempt young blokes with $$$ 

 

RACV Royal Pines Resort is other option. It’s big and players can keep busy with 18 holes of golf on any of the courses.  But it’s away from anything else. Perhaps that suits if you have to do the Q-tine thing 

We've really been f'ed around the most so far. Games cancelled, moved to NSW and then to Qld.

Hopefully we can still win enough games to make finals and then who knows what will happen given the only teams that will play home finals will likely be Qld, SA and WA based teams.

Grand Final at the Gabba.
45000 puzzled spectators !!! 

C'mon ref that has to be a knock on!

THEY'VE BEING DOING IT ALL GAME!!!!

Edited by binman


Looks like games in the NT remain a possibility. Hopefully they can fly one of the Adelaide teams over. It just won’t feel like a Darwin home game without everyone cheering for the opposition.

I’m thinking we play the finals in Auckland.  It might be the only safe haven come late October. 

Geelong would love that....  

GMHBA - 170 x 115

Eden Park - 137 x 110 

 

The team flies out on Monday to the Qld hub.

A couple of comments I heard at a recent Lions V Dees GABBA game:

"Geez I hope the Lions get a few tries tonight!!!

"How many points do they get for hitting the uprights"

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
