    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.

    Knowing McGowan he’ll call a lockdown with 8 minutes notice.

    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!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
