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

Official. Next week Thursday night fixture for Port v Dees ?


5 day break? 

Brown in for Gawn against Giants

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

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!)

Edited by binman

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?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
