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?

    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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
