    Maybe the AFL can just give us the 4 points after initially taking it away from us last week.

    I don’t care if we play to an empty stadium. I hope the quarantine disrupts their preparations. Bring it on.

    Default to us as compensation for the fiasco in Adelaide.  Seems about right thanks Gil!

    Hopefully they all test negative.

    A positive test result would definitely force us into a compacted fixture later in the year.

    Also, because if they all test negative they're not battling a potentially life-threatening disease.

    Highly unlikely anyone would be positive, but it does interrupt there preparation which can only be an advantage for us.

    Clearly this is GOD punishing the AFL for not committing sufficient resources towards quality umpiring.

    • Demonland changed the title to BULLDOGS IN ISOLATION

    They have to do more than just testing there today. Has to be every day for a week at least.

    Embarrassing scenario of maybe the two bottom teams playing off in the GF

    • Haha 1

    AFL Rule apparently no spitting, talking or breathing during game by Bulldog

    It didn't make any difference to the Swans when they had to isolate nor the Kangaroos.

    We'll most likely be in Lockdown by the weekend at this stage. Games might not even go ahead in Victoria.

    There won't be a lockdown. Games will go ahead. There will be crowds.

    9 cases now. Surely there are no crowds at this point.

    If ever there was a (non health related) reason people need to get vaccinated this is it. Population gets vaccinated, it no longer becomes an issue how many cases get reported. Life goes on.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
