    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. 

    Yep a real bummer. Got the freebies for myself and grand sons then purchased tickets for 3 others and was looking forward to the short drive and seeing them live then this happens. Then thought OK I'll fill the bar fridge up and watch them on TV. That's also canned so I will just have to empty the bar fridge and watch whoever. Not happy Jan.

    So where does this leave our fixture against GC? Are we now having a bye and playing the Eagles?

    Geez, I'm stoked.

    Just landed at Coolangatta Airport and some nice bloke sold me his 5 tickets to today's game for my entire family and even gave me a 10% discount.

    Why wouldn’t we be returning to VIC and GC Suns heading on a plane to VIC to play tomorrow, as opposed to heading to Perth and having a game to catch up on before finals?

    I've been mellow this year compared to most couple of years? I've also limit my interaction on game day threads purely on this but half the time I'm with my Melbourne supporting mate watching the footy.

    So we flew up this morning? What do we do now, come back home or go to perth? 

    Also why can't we play & just not have crowds?

    Don't mellow too much! It's part of the fabric of Demonland!

    I hope our game doesn't get re-scheduled for mid-week. The club should lobby hard to extent the season by a week or do we still have the pre-finals bye to fall back on?

    That's so funny. I just presumed all of us who post on here have no mates and watch the game in a isolation whereby we can vent our fury. (heaps of projection in that statement).

    Enroute to Perth right now, turned around midair 


    Welcome to COVID reality on Gold Coast. Life has progressed pretty much as normal up here so we were due. Have no issue with lockdown as Sydney is a case study in what can happen. I do however think government collectively has failed the people with vaccination rates and hotel quarantine. My luck has free tickets; food and drink in Virgin lounge. For those who have not been there it great. Totally different vibe to MCC and long room. The only positive is we can’t lose!

    Because state governments have NFI


    Better off going to Perth. Can they give us both 4 points? Theoretically they by virtue of the QLD govt they’ve forfeited?

    Why go to Perth??  Why not play Suns at Marvel tomorrow night. 

    Because they have to isolate for 7 days before playing WCE

    That would be too sensible.

    Surely we can isolate in Melbourne as part of the 7 days?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
