    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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
