Oh dear, what have I started here?

I think you all need to behave like pole vaulters and just get over it.

easy to say when the games are headed for the high jump even though they are now just a hop step and jump away

    Who wants to play Essendon at the Cattery?

     

    If the 25 K radius has gone by 26 June I’m more than happy to travel down to Geelong to watch us play Essendon, just to see a game live.

    Agreed and good practice for our game against Geelong in round 22. It’s not our home game so I don’t care haha

    Two games shifted out of Victoria this weekL

    1. North v Brisbane moved from Marvel to Hobart
    2. Hawthorn v Essendon moved from the MCG to Launceston

    In news that @Bring-Back-Powell will no doubt lap up, Geelong has chosen to leave its match at GMHBA, in front of no crowd.

    Good on Geelong for standing their ground and utilising their home ground advantage. A footballing over finance decision.

    Doesn’t paint a rosy picture for many restrictions to ease on Thursday, if they’re already calling the interstate transfers.

    Yep. Another massive overreaction by our state. Zero transmissions at the footy even when two positive cases were at games. Low positive case numbers. Clearly we don’t trust our contract tracers. Beyond a joke to already say no crowds a week out. Pathetic.

    It's easier to do when the game in question isn't the financial windfall of the NT sponsored game or Queen's Birthday, and it's the first home game Geelong's had in this period.

    As to the latter, they have to make the call now no matter what happens on Thursday, and there's no way the government will have decided now what they're going to do, they make all their calls the day before.

    Fair point re: Geelong’s first home game in a few weeks.

    I would hope that when we play GWS, we don’t transfer it to NSW, regardless of the finances.

    Agreed. It won’t make us much money either way. We have very few games left at the G before finals. We need all the time there we can get. I rather play at the G in front of nobody than play at that SCG dump in front of 8000 people. 
    The only consideration would be to take it to the NT if we desperately need the cash.

    It's hard to see why we'd do that: the main financial damage to our season has already been done. Unless we chose to play that game at Giants Stadium or Manuka, we won't pull a crowd to that game and hence it won't help us. Very different to playing Collingwood, a big club with a big fanbase in NSW.

    Zero new cases today.

    Hopefully an announcement tomorrow of restrictions further easing as of Friday, increasing the chances of a crowd at the G for our (away) game vs Essendon the following weekend.

    I would rather have it in NSW than in an empty MCG. At least fans in Sydney get to go to a game. Good teams win wherever the game is played.

    In the paper (Sun) today it said the Cats stand to lose up to $900k if the game on Friday is played in front of no crowd.

    If there's only 25% crowd allowed will MFC members even get in? Probably only those with MCC/AFL Memberships

    7000 regional members allowed to the game on Friday. Lucky Geelong. Once again KOTD.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
