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.


Next Saturday night I’m kid free and the game is as Optus……

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.

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

This aged well. 

  • Demonland changed the title to FIXTURE: Rd 21 2021

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!

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
