    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
