I hate this so much. Crap ground. Nobody in NSW cares about footy. It’s just depressing. Stupid Covid ?

    anyone have any idea what we might make out of this? 

     

    I’d love to know because if it’s negligible than we may as well play this game in front of nobody at our home ground.
    The venue we don’t need to travel to,

    The venue that allows the players to sleep in their own bed.

    The venue where we need to bed down our game plan in preparation  for finals.

    Agreed. If we get 5000 neutral fans there and 30 club supporters, I’m sure the players would rather do it at the MCG. It’s a completely unnecessary reshuffle. 
    I guess let’s see what the crowd is at the game today. I doubt it will be better next week, even if it is a public holiday.

    It is beyond my comprehension why they would play at the scg instead of Adelaide. Nobody in Sydney are interested in a match betweeen Melbourne and the filth. At least in crowland you would get a few footy supporters for the game. A stupid and uneccessary lockdown and the sillly health minister in SA  are to blame for this.

    The game should be at the MCG with crowds.

    At first glance, the crowd at Giants stadium looks about 1,000 if you’re lucky.

    A few people spread around the outer wing and the rest of the stadiums looks closed.

    Look at the hoops SA is making the Pies jump through - no thanks

    Take a bad situation and make it worse. Officially at the SCG. [censored] you Covid ?

    My brother in law (my wife’s whole family) are mad pies fans (it wasn’t on her disclosure form )

    he lives in Sydney and has a weekend getaway near Goulburn where he’ll be next weekend 

    asked if he’ll be going to the game at the G (he doesn’t live far from the SCG and is a man of means ) - “see how we feel”

    I know the pies are detritus This year but gee a chance to go support your club and MND up the road ….

    If the QB game is going to be at the SCG we need to get out there and pump the proverbial out of this. Make tickets half price or two for the price of one, send a whole bunch of leftover merchandise/members scarfs up to hand out to people (don’t care if they’re Sydney fans, get them cheering for us). 

    Do whatever you can to get people through the gate. I also nominate Hamish Blake (who lives there now) to be sent down the slide and maybe throw in some NRL personalities as well. 

    I’m resigned to the fact we’re going to lose out financially, let’s just make sure we make the day the best it can be.

    With lockdown likely to end on Thursday night there's no reason why Melbourne supporters can't go up for the game. Current NSW policy is you have to follow Victorian rules if you go to NSW. On that basis, surely if the lockdown is over, same rules then apply in NSW from there on...

    Interesting thought. If they will let Victorians in while our state won’t let us go down the road to watch a game, I would officially give up on these health professionals.

    I would've preferred we pushed this game in the following week's bye round. I think there could be a real chance of thing be open enough by then and if so the club should be writing to the AFL indicating they owe us for lost revenue.

    Will be bizarre if there's a mass exodus of Melbourne fans going up to Sydney for the QB match which should be at the MCG.

    Then what a great atmosphere it will be.

    Honestly, I don’t know what you expect of the AFL - they are reacting to news on real time and trying to make the best decisions across commercial, football and to get people to the game.

    This decision lessens the potential impact on us and we get to put the club and Neale up in lights once again.

    And the northern state Dees can get to another game and show us how important they are.

    Correct on all counts Rpfc.

    I hope it is not played in Adelaide because no spectator is allowed to touch the ball. The first time it goes over the fence it cannot be returned to the field, game over.

    Let's make the most of it. Anywhere anytime is the mantra...

    Just as an aside. the fact that less than 3% of Australia is fully vaccinated in June 2021 is nothing short of scandalous...

    • 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.
