    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

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
