More likely that we don’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.

There is the issue of Queensland not allowing Brisbane to travel to Victoria. 

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.

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 I’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. I’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 can’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?

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 aren’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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
