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.

     

    Only if they knew

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
