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 ?

  • Quote

    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 …. 

  • Quote

    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...

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
