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.

Surely we can’t be so lucky as to play them at Marvel in dry conditions.  My MFCSS says we will play them in Horsham in a lightening storm and BB’s hair will catch on fire.

I don't get the angst about the venue and the travel/disruption. Does the venue really matter? And regarding disruptions we have had a dream run so far this year:  5 i/state trips of 1 hr ea

We will be playing this game on the Gold Coast, then we will fly direct to Perth and quarantine for 7 days before playing WC at Optus. We need to win both, please!

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

Reckon we should start complaining about the free ride the doggies get from the umps. We were shafted at the weekend.

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.

Serious question why? 

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.

Game may be in the NT after all! NT revoking restrictions from midnight tonight!

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
