    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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
