    Absolute balls if we play in QLD. Brisbane don’t deserve that leg up. 
    Sydney would be fine.

    If not Alice lets just go to the Gabba. Will get a good crowd. We take the gate. Best thing for footy. 

    Forget best for footy. It’s all about best for us. I do not want to play Lions at their home ground. It’s our home game. We don’t deserve such a disadvantage.

    As we only play Brisbane once and it's effectively our home game there is no way I would want the game played in Queensland.

    Hopefully we can have crowds the following week on queen's birthday. Would suck to lose that one again although the Collingwood supporters have dropped off completely this year

    Does it matter? I mean the only benefit which I am highly jealous of is if you are in some random city and they just so happen to pick somewhere close to where you live. I feel for the nt crowd and for those who would’ve enjoyed the game live, but as far as I’m concerned, lions anywhere any place.

    and I have never felt this way about the dees in my life. They could play in my neighbours yard, I’d still be excited to watch.

    guys, what a time to be alive

    Play it in Tassie at Belrieve Oval. Brisbane won't like the cold.

    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. 

    The Victorian lockdown is virtue signalling?

    Strangely Brisbane have played more games in NZ (1), than they have in Tasmania (0).

    Play it at Manuka. When was the last time the Lions played there?

    We play terrible in Tassie.

    Personally if we can’t play it in the Alice (really hope that isn’t the case) I say we play it at Giants Stadium. Neutral venue, but we actually played quite well there last year, then look to shift our GWS home game there on 3rd July. 

    EDIT Also under no circumstances should we accept it being played in QLD.

    If we can’t play in Alice play it at the G and move another game of ours there later on in the year. 

    A Queensland-based team will not be playing in Melbourne for obvious reasons. The only sensible place to play a game against a non-Victorian team is NSW because we don't have COVID exposure currently and only close our borders under extreme circumstances.

    memories of our darkest days when we sold multiple home games to Brisbane.

    No thanks

    Even going to Sydney costs us over $500k in lost revenue from the NT.

    The virus couldn't have hit us at a worse time.

    I'd prefer Wagga oval tbh

    Unless the COVID numbers explode, I would be surprised if the NT government don’t let the game go ahead

    You live in Alice don't you rgrs?

    I'm assuming its a pretty important match for the nt government in terms of promoting tourism. Particularly now that people can't travel overseas.

    A genuine Friday night blockbuster. Massive ratings. The best bang for bucks of any of these matches. 

    And it would be a big hit for the local economy. A friend looked at accommodation with thought of flying up.  Completely full.

     The dees are in iso all week and will have daily tests probably. Could fly in on Friday morning and book a hotel area and be isolated. Then bus to the game. Flt out next day.

    What's the sense about the likelihood of it going ahead? Or how keen the government is for it to?

    Wagga is the centre of the Riverina league (Carey's home town ) and has a very good Aussie rules oval. Have not seen the Albury oval but why not.

    No way will "normal" Victorians be allowed in NT next Friday. Cancelled my flights and accomodation on Thursday

    Call me crazy, but if it can't be played at tbe Alice and we get the gate I reckon we should pick the gabba.

    It would be a bold move. A statement. Anyone. Any where. Any time.

    We play ok there. Know it well after last year. And would get to play in front of a packed house. Good practice for finals.

    And as a home game all the qld demon fans could go, so it wouldn't be a totally lions crowd. 

    Would have a much, much better vibe than bloody giants stadium with 33 people there.

    Well if the fully booked accommodation (know it is from friends who tried to book about a month ago) includes Melbournians flying up for the game there will suddenly be lots of vacancies.  

    I guess the NT government will be very cautious about exposing its vulnerable communities so it will depend a lot on what happens in Melbourne over the next 2-3 days. They may allow a tested team to fly in for 24-36 hrs but not allow ‘tourists’ to fly in and out.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
