Well the Dees are doing one thing well. No whinging about fixture changes Inspite of the large financial losses. We are  just get on with it. We are now living in an era never seen in modern times. The likes of Scott make me anger.

    The only thing that would make Scott happy would be all 22 H&A matches + finals in Geelong. The guy cannot help himself.

    The free ride from the umpires for the dogs has been happening for many, many years, complaining about it is not going to make any difference.

    Spot on the dogs know what they can do and use it. We are too nice in this area and play by the rules. Our coaching leaves a bit to be desired on this area. I don't believe it cost us the game just made the dogs score a a goal or two higher.

    Not sure the coaches can do anything about it, it is up to the umpires to apply the rules evenly to both sides at all times.

    From ABC Website:

    Gutwein on the AFL: Mask up, buttercups!

    Yeah, look, he didn't phrase it in that exact way, but he did say that masks would be mandatory at this weekend's AFL matches.

    The North Melbourne vs Geelong AFL match at Blundstone arena on Saturday will proceed, as will the Hawthorn vs Brisbane Lions at UTAS Stadium on Sunday.

    Mr Gutwein said the "onus is on the fans" to bring their own mask for use at the game.

    Up to 10,000 seated spectators will be allowed at each match.

     

    With Brisbane going to Tassie presumably because they can't get back into Qld without quarantine means we won't be playing in Qld either.  Anybody's guess where we will end up.  1st pref is Vic but could NT open the doors in time...really hope not.

    ItsaHawks scheduled home game really nothing to do with Lions .going home to quarantine.

    No he would complain 4 games a year are played in the wet and the dome of death home teams have an advantage.

    So that we don't have to fly to Queensland and then fly again to WA?

    So that we can avoid playing against an opposition's home crowd?

    So that we can play at Marvel, where we're we've won 8 of our last 10?

    Plenty of reasons to think about, at least if you haven't already given up on the season.

    Yes forgot about the trip to WA. Do the sun's have a home crowd of any size? I have to say I have no idea. MY view on where the game is played relates to one thing. If there are no crowds allowed  I don't care where the game is played. I would rather the sun's supporters see a live game than have it in Melbourne in front of no one. If that puts us at a disadvantage so be it.

    What about their cheer squad singing "Nah-nah-nah-nah Nah-nah-nah-nah hey-hey Goodbye" when they defeated Richmond recently that was GOLD.

    You couldn't script that luck.

    As mentioned before I expect our CEO to have negotiated for Melbourne to receive half the proceeds if this game is in Darwin, due to:

    a) Losing our contract for the Alice Springs game in June.

    b) Being the bunnies that have to cop a Darwin game whilst we're in a critical phase of our season.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
