ADMIN UPDATE: I have spoken with the club and have been assured that the Round 22 Adelaide match will be played in Melbourne at the MCG.

    that'll mean some $$ for the club at any rate, and a crowd allowed at the game - the game at the g vs crows was definitely not going to be performed before a live audience

    brutal schedule before finals in terms of travel but also an opportunity to galvanise; since the swans left sydney and worked together as a travelling and hubbed mob they've been one of the form teams of the competition

    Wait what? Why?

    This game is scheduled at the MCG where we can still play game. Why on earth is this being moved to [censored] Darwin?

    I'm guessing Club's request to recover the $800k we lost when the Alice game was cancelled.

    This has to be complete nonsense. They want to throw our season away ?

    If we do end up having crowds back for that round and this game is moved up there I’ll be ringing the club for a proportional refund on my tridents membership.

    we’re an unassisted club that got smashed financially ( and worse than most others) in a year we should have creamed it. You do you and what you feel is right … but i’m looking to donate more.

    If where going to play in the NT why would it not be in Alice Springs?

    Watching games of footy in Darwin and Cairns is torture, with a top four Spot on the line not sure my heart will cope with this.

    What a way to alienate the majority of your membership.

    This game was probably going to have crowds at the G and now there’s talk of all finals being played in Perth if you believe the media.

    GC- Perth- Darwin- Geelong. Great preparation for finals…

    We must be near broke if we’ve initiated this.

    Our form at the G has hardly been inspiring recently. Perhaps getting out of Melbourne and playing in warmer climes might do us some good and inject some energy back into us

    Also the hub last year was credited as the catalyst for the game plan gelling. Could afford the opportunity to re-focus on roles and system. Steven May reckoned it helped the group bond as well

    Metricon to Darwin is manageable. The 3rd leg of the trip might be difficult but again they'll be staying in a resort in WA so hardly a major imposition

    We'll get some sun and have a chance to bond and re-focus so this could all work in our favor

    Hi Wellsy. Yup, I get all that, I really do. I had no problem letting the club keep my $800 from last year have no intention of asking for anything back for the games we've been locked out of this year but they can't be doing this for games we could legitimately attend.

    Sorry but that’s insanity. Are we trying to win a flag or have we given up?

    Also if small crowds are allowed by then it’s a complete slap in the face to us paid up members who sink so much money into the club each year. 
    I would be ropeable if this is true!

    I hope they haven't put money ahead of our season.. FFS we aren't mid range [censored] kickers this year!

    Wouldn't be too concerned with playing in Darwin.

    Not, likely to happen, more likely we will be in lockdown again.

    This game in Darwin will be at Night, it'll be hot and slippery and it will stuff up our recovery for R23.

    If they club have requested this, I've had a gutful. We've lost more than half a years worth of home games to covid and now another game is going.. Can't see this hurting us at all ?

    Perth game backing into a Darwin game not ideal.  Probably need to win both for a top 4 spot.

    You’d just hope there isn’t any stupid ‘fly in fly out’ rules for either game - thats what would take it from being challenging to near-impossible.

    I'm not keen on the travel aspect either and would prefer not to play in Darwin at all. The only reason to do so is financial

    But time away gives the group a chance to bond and perhaps re-energise and re-find some form away from Melbourne

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
