Only one game in vic.

Good result for Channels 7 and fox in terms of their coverage.

It's mazing how much a difference crowds make even when watchin on TV

Weirdly though, Ch 7 are only broadcasting two games.

    Olympics-related, surely.

    Unless games are also on 7Mate?

    I think there were only two last week, as well.

    Nah, going by AFL site all the games on Sunday are on Fox.

    Would think due to Olympics, but still, not great.

    @Pennant St Dee - where do the clubs train in WA when staying at Joondalup Resort in "lockdown"?

    Edit: Please ignore - I see that it's going to be different now:

    Semi-related, but this is FANTASTIC from our sponsor:

    And to make their stay even more comfortable, club sponsor Red Bull have already come to the party.

    The energy drink giant is arranging the installation of a golf simulator, table tennis tables, video game consoles and even a basketball ring in the corporate spaces inside Optus Stadium.

    Winning is the only option despite any adversity we'll face in the coming days.

    If you're losing to Gold Coast Suns, you're not making top 4.

    Well, we will see how good we are.

    We're allowed to train on Optus apparently, so you'd think they'd do that a bit...

    Our best chance in 21 years in having a genuine tilt at the flag and we may not get to go to another game in Melbourne.

    Pretty peed off , After paying for club  memberships, reserved seats and finals tix priority, for the whole family  two years in a row during tough times which is turning out to be money down the drain

    I don't think it's "money down the drain" if it has assisted in putting us in "Our best chance in 21 years in having a genuine tilt at the flag".  Try to look at the big picture ...

    Yes I understand the big picture, and  it’s a helluva donation with no discount or compensation from the club for the sacrifice. Times are pretty tough with being laid off from work for a fair chunk of the last two years.

    I’m more upset about the possibility of being robbed of the journey and going to the finals games .

    Will this be another Cairns disaster?

    Flying in on same day & how long to prep for the game at 3pm??? why not a night game to give the players a chance to assimilate  with their environment as Cairns they landed at lunch time and had to play a game in 3hrs!

    The script of MFC shafting is coming

    I agree with your comment.

    You're allowed to be upset and angry that Victorians MFC members (ie - the bulk of us) may miss out on a rare opportunity to see their beloved club play in a finals series.

    Hopefully COVID goes away for at least a couple of months and finals will go ahead at the G.

    A Perth only finals hub would be the ultimate middle finger to all Victorians who have put up with so much since March 2020.

    every club is dealing with FIFO and playing outside their states, such as NSW teams for the past 6 weeks

    No more excuses Demons, get it done. win 3 from the last 4, make top 4 and hit finals hard

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
