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.

 

Good to see the drug cheats get more Friday exposure

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.

 

BT reckons the Saints have got this 

 

We should be playing on a sunday.

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.

This aged well.

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.


ROUND 21

Friday August 6

Geelong Cats v GWS Giants, GMHBA Stadium (7.50pm)

Saturday August 7

Carlton v Gold Coast Suns, Marvel Stadium (1.45pm)

Richmond v North Melbourne, MCG (4.35pm)

St Kilda v Sydney Swans, Marvel Stadium (7.40pm)

Adelaide Crows v Port Adelaide, Adelaide Oval (7.40pm)

Sunday August 9

Hawthorn v Collingwood, UTAS Stadium (2.10pm)

Western Bulldogs v Essendon, Marvel Stadium (3.20pm)

Fremantle v Brisbane Lions, Optus Stadium (5.10pm)

Monday August 9

West Coast Eagles v Melbourne, Optus Stadium (8.10pm)

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. ?

Geelong have got to be the only team to have profited from COVID.

 

Next Monday night seems like an eternity away. Going to make for a slow week and slow weekend

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!

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
