More likely that we donā€™t play in Melbourne than Alice. Lions would have to be kept away to keep the integrity of the schedule. 

Surreal times.

Hope NT lets us in.

    QLD probably won't let us travel to QLD so is Sydney/Canberra the only option?

    Our home game so we should get home ground advantage. Play it in Alice, have all the guys take a 2nd test this week if need be.

    Hope they get to play it at Alice Springs, a Friday night top of the table clash will be great there.

    Would suck to have to play at Sydney

    No I disagree It makes perfect logic if we can get a crowd to play at theG.

    Reduce  to 40% we get 35,000 snd make some money and transfer Hawthorn  game later in year to Alice.  Not Adelaide   Game.

    Hope they play it at Metricon Stadium for the selfish reason that Iā€™m currently hunkered down and doing it rough in the warmth and brilliant sunshine of late autumn on the Gold Coast while my thoughts are always with my fellow Victorians, locked down, shivering and huddled around fireplaces. Iā€™m up for the challenge of single handedly supporting the Demons to a big win at Carrara if Gillon provides me with the challenge.

    Isn't it more a case of Brisbane not being able to return to Queensland or us to travel to Queensland?

    Would be a big financial blow if we canā€™t go to the NT. That game is worth $700k to us. 
    I hope we can reason with the NT. They seem less insane than QLD and WA. Perhaps we can fly out there early, go into a mini lockdown, test and then play and fly straight home after the game?

    If we canā€™t play in Alice play it at the G and move another game of ours there later on in the year. 

    This would be massive for the NT  i can understand their government's position its a shame they want to give up this oppourtunity prime time Friday Night, they have been loyal to us in the darkest of times. 

    Would be extremely cruel to prevent them from such a marquee event one in which they thought would never eventuate.

    I understant covid is the issue but the players, staff and coaches are quarantining at home and arenā€™t in contact with others from the public.

    Whispering, I'm right with ya, hard to cop these winter temps of 22 degrees. If the game is down there I'll be right with ya. But unfortunately think we may bet our bye this week with a resigned schedule for later in the season

    The best outcome would be a game swap. Move a future game against a lesser Melbourne based club to next weekend.

    First question is who has the bye next week and are we scheduled to play them twice.

    DJ , at this point you could argue that they are all lesser clubs. ?

    Sadly covid has compromised the financial position of most clubs . We sold our home games so we could reduce our losses as our games at G were often against interstate side at bad times( how many mothers day games did we get( excluding this year)  . A couple of successful years should increase membership . Not sure when nt contract expires but hopefully soon .  A 700k loss would really hurt us

    • 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 Footscrayā€™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 weekā€™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?

      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.
