I guess that means we'll be playing in Adelaide too. *

* Unless there are more cases in SA or in Vic and the season is derailed. 

Probably on the same plane as us though so if we're hanging around for hours before the game with nothing to do then so will they.

    It sounds like Essendon v Adelaide is going to be the Friday night, which I suppose leaves us for the Thursday night:

     

    11th v 15th? Sounds exciting!

    wtf

    Are Victorians allowed into AAMI stadium?

    Where is it official?

    Yeah my bad. Jumped the gun of the official part. But Ralphy it’s tweeting it. I know he’s been wrong before but that’s on more important issues. I don’t think his sources would spin the truth on next rounds fixturing. Ah bugger it, I’m calling it. I’m going with Ralphy on this occasion ?

    What? There goes my trip to Adelaide! Maybe.

    For the life of me i wasn't been able to find any info about crowds at the footy in Adelaide (as i was planning on going). Not on the SA gov website or on multiple news sites

    Eventually checked the Adelaide oval website. The crows lions game this weekend is capped at 25k.

    No changes to restrictions today, so who knows how many will be able to go next Thursday.

    Essendon V Adelaide on a Friday night eh. Makes complete sense....

    As this rate they'll be putting the Essendon V Sydney game on Friday night in preference to the Dees and Dogs in round 20.

    not at present.

    You can go to SA but you have to test and isolate until negative result on arrival and then for 14 days you are not allowed to go to any public events (more than 1000 attendees)

    Could change by game time... who knows these days

    And 25k can go

    https://www.adelaideoval.com.au/news/25000-crowd-capacity-confirmed-for-saturday/

    That's for this week.  The Club is telling me it's limited to 1000 next week.  Who knows what will happen between now and then.

    Maybe 1000 MFC members tickets?

    Makes no sense that 25k can go this week, but only 1000 next week (unless they know an impending outbreak!)

    We were always going to be the Thursday night game given the other options and assuming the AFL is trying to minimise five-day breaks and trying to avoid five-day breaks where the opponent has six or more days off.

    Essendon v Adelaide on the Friday is unexpected given there is Bulldogs v Sydney, but if the rumour is true that the Dogs didn't want another five-day break, the only other option really is Carlton v Geelong and honestly, who wants yet another Geelong Thurs/Fri night game (tonight is their fourth in a row).

    That is rubbish. Why do we deserve a 5 day break and why do Essendon get a Friday night game?

    5 day break into Port would explain why BBB didn't get selected this weekend.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
