    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

    We are not alone in that problem. I was just joking about having a good side.

    If not Alice then Canberra. The cool night air might hurt the bears.

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

    Yes

    Strange times, honestly, i think it would be best for everyone given it's round 11. to move the Bye forward and push the other rounds back, buy some time to assess the situation and figure out how to move forward 

    we know how quickly things can change with covid, and lockdowns and so on. potentially things may look a lot better in 10 days time.

    Well the players have been in lockdown so hopefully the NT let us in. Harmes just said on mmm he heard a rumour the game may be in sydney. 

    But I feel our team was one of the best that coped with the hub last year and from hearing the players talk about it, they said it gave them a chance to work on things and fix them. 

    Gus said today that they just deal with what happens and his week they just dealt with the covid testing, cancelled training sessions and they are ready for anything and they won't let it distract them.

    Saints or North at the G ?

    North would be a perfect swap if we play next week with zero or say 50% crowds

    Normal revenue plus we still get the NT money by playing them later in the year

    There is no way we should agree to play in Queensland at all. not at the GABBA nor Carrara. The Lions can get stuffed. They were so well looked after last year. This is one of the greatest overreactions by the Government. Virtue signalling at its finest as usual. Go play in Sydney or Canberra.

    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

    Unless you live here (probably only applies to about 14 of us).

    Agreed it should be played in Brisbane, must be neutral ground if not Alice.

    Giants stadium is my guess. 

    Yep, reckon this is more likely than Canberra, unfortunately for me

  • Quote

    Any of Manuka, Giants Stadium or the SCG would be fine.  Staying out of Queensland should be the priority for Pert. Ideally we get to play in Alice but I can completely understand why that may not be possible.  It's unfortunate but the most at risk population in Australia lives predominantly in the NT.

    Looks like we’ll have some choice of the options are QLD & NSW. 

     

    A triumphant return to Cairns would be a bold choice.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
