3pm game - hopelessly optimistic, still waiting official word

Kidding surely? not a chance. 

 

Saw a fleeting banner on ABC saying No professional sport.  Can't confirm so far

Update: from 4pm. 

"There will be no football matches. So, no community sport, no professional sport, nothing for the next three days. Starting as of 4:00pm today. But I would hope that anyone who's out there concludes whatever they're doing and goes home."

Short game coming up...

    Of course the season is derailed and this impacts us directly. Of course. Nothing more obvious.

    Well season derailed again. Wonderful news. Who starts a lockdown at 4pm?

    Well I guess this calls for a snap end to my Dry July.

    Bit of a sketchy rumour the Suns are trying to get on a plane to Melbourne.

    Coincidentally, Marvel is free tomorrow...

    Was sitting here watching the presser and said exactly the same thing. Every lockdown we have had starts at 6pm. 

    Cannot see the reasoning to start at 4. 

    The AFL are [censored] id iots. This game should have been moved to Marvel for this afternoon during the week instead of Metricon. Gold Coast play Carlton next week in Melbourne so it made sense that GC stay in Melbourne for this week and play in Melbourne again

    Bunch of amateurs.

    To be fair it will directly impact Port, swans, giants and bombers all vying for finals/top 4.

    Absolute stupidity to schedule so many games in QLD when they’ve had some many breaches this last week.

    Did you know there was going to be a snap lockdown in South Queenland today?

    I'm no great fan of the AFL but they've done a great job keeping the show on the road this season so far

    I generally agree, but I actually think the AFL should have bitten the bullet and hubbed all teams in Melbourne.

    Puss off this Perth Stadium grand final [censored] as well.

    Any bet it gets moved to pre finals bye week now along with Essendon and swans

    Its not about the lockdown. I was just as frustrated at the scheduling. We fly to QLD on game day, play a full game of footy then jump on a plane again and fly 5 hours across the country? How is that deemed fair?

    Had we played in Melbourne, GC would have had to fly down, play footy and stay for another week. We also get to stay in town, play our game then jump on a plane to QLD.

    That's as reasonable and fair for both clubs.

    AFL run by a bunch of simpletons.

    Living in South East Queensland, I was originally quite happy when our game Vs the Suns was switched last week, as I'd inadvertently double booked myself with a camping trip.

    Was stoked when I booked my tickets for today's game on Thursday night.

    Really flat about things being cancelled this morning.

    Guess I was really fated not to watch this game in person.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
