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

Edited by Diamond_Jim

Can’t see us being let into the NT. Game will be in QLD or NSW

 

So as it’s our home game surely we get to pick the venue in qld or nsw, no way would I want the Gabba gives the lions a huge advantage 

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. 

Canberra hopefully ?

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).

Ah, well I get the push then... I was just thinking as cold as it could be made for them... but having googled....1222286079_ScreenShot2021-05-29at5_34_14pm.png.7bffc10cb57e0bf33f4a78ab90183c86.png

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

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.

I still dont get the neutural ground stuff, its our home game.

Which we sold to NT to play at a neutral venue.

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

 

A triumphant return to Cairns would be a bold choice.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
