It sounds like the North game will be relocated to Melbourne due to Tasmania requiring people who have been in Perth to isolate.

    Happy to take them on anywhere, any time but first we have a big game tonight. 

    Football’s all about one game at a time.

    You think the players are thinking about North??

    I couldn’t be happier if this turns out to be true. I just don’t want us to be collateral damage on another fixture problem due to COVID and end up paying multiple games under a 4 day break.

    So they’ll still cop a monumental thumping, only now they won’t have as far to travel to lick their wounds.

    Got my trip down there all booked for the game and was really looking forward to getting away, but now I'm concerned. I've got until 4pm Monday to cancel for a full refund, should I bite the bullet or risk 400 bucks, and possibly end up watching the dees play north at the MCG from a pub in Hobart????

    Would much rather play them at the G than that [censored] hole Launceston.   Looking forward to this game turning into a big percentage and confidence booster for the team.  Would really love to stick it up North.

    Marvel is free on the Sunday but MCG has Essendon v Carlton. 

    Marvel would be perfect.  We play great there and finally a dry deck for us to kick a mammoth score.

    I wouldn’t risk going to Tassie lest another one or even two Covid cases (!) sees you stuck there. Imagine that. The horror...THE HORROR.

    I feel bad for the people that have stumped up the cash and committed themselves to supporting the Dees in such a sh1thole of a footy ground.  Hobart is a nice place to visit, though.  It might be better for us at Marvel.

    covid sucks.

    Has this actually been said anywhere?

    Or are people just connecting their own dots cause Tas govt hasn't made a decision re Norf and Marvel is free?

    Not official but they were discussing it on SEN. Tasmania are requiring people who have been in Perth to isolate for 14 days.

    From what I understand they would have to isolate in Victoria for 14 days also. (This is under the 'traffic light' system and could change)

    The situation seems to be they're more likely to get a special exemption from that for Victoria than they are from Tasmania.

    774 said Marvel likely. Not possible to play in Tassie under current restrictions.

    If there’s more cases come up over here it’s bound to happen. 
     

    Stay tuned.

    Not sure if players just didn't read the ground conditions last night, but so many players from Victory and Wanderers were slipping over while playing there last night

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
