    You know there’s a pandemic on when they send Collingwood down to Hobart…

    Geelong down there this week for the first time ever.

    Yet we're there every year, it seems.

    Only other palatable game is ours, and we'd be on a six-day break from Queensland, which is both tiring and impossible as we need 7 days for quarantine.

    We're flying in and out same day for GC so perhaps they class it as 7 nights rather than 7x24 hours?

    It's all confirmed.

    Actually prefer to play on the Saturday for this one.

    We need a good 7 or 8 day break ahead of our the last 2 games in VIC after 2 big weeks on the road.

    Ideally they'd push our game back to the Sunday, but Fremantle v Brisbane is already on the Sunday and they can't bring that forward to Saturday because Brisbane needs 7 days to quarantine.

    So unless they do a double header at Optus next Sunday, we'll be playing the Monday night.

    Which isn't ideal, as it will likely mean a six-day break into the Adelaide game the following week, and quite possibly a consecutive six-day break into the Round 23 Geelong game (the AFL may well want that game on a Saturday for TV exposure).

    Adelaide will be Sunday afternoon because nobody will care about this game and then Geelong Saturday night for the prime time. Monday isn’t ideal for anyone but I don’t know if they’ll do two games in Perth on the same day. Too hard with telecast given the time difference.

    Is it confirmed that WC have gone back to Perth?

    Most likely.

    Back to back six day breaks into a crucial Geelong game is going to hurt.

    I assume we will fly back on Monday and then play Adelaide Sunday afternoon.

    Monday night hopefully means a smaller hostile crowd, so that's one positive.

    That would be a helpful side effect of the Monday night timeslot.

    Critical game, this. Win it and we're two-thirds of the way there (just have to beat Adelaide...shudder).

    But if we lose, we'll be on a six-day break (but almost really a five-day break, given we don't finish in Perth until 10.40pm Melbourne time) into a must-win game, followed by an almost-certain second straight six-day break as you'd assume the AFL will want our Geelong game on at least a Saturday.

    Just our luck playing the Eagles when the heat from the blowtorch is on high. 

    Also Jaded I know you like a good Doomsday scenario. How about a situation where there are cases in Melbourne forcing us to play Adelaide in South Australia. ?

    On the other hand, if WCE had belted Collingwood we'd probably be lamenting our luck in coming up against a team who had found some good form just in time to play us.  MFCSS Rules!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
