    Because they have to isolate for 7 days before playing WCE

    This is why WA doesn’t deserve a grand final.

    They’ve made it so hard on the AFL and it’s clubs during this pandemic .

    I guess this gives me more time to get through Cloudstreet and The Wretched of the Earth.?

     

    I’m really starting to lose interest in the season now. We always get shafted.

    Doubt it. Wouldn’t they have to also isolate for 7 days before playing?

    I’d say we’ll be playing GC in the pre finals bye if indeed we’re headed to Perth as we speak.


    AFL should call the season off, it’s all over for us anyway, done and dusted!

    4 out of the 6 teams play in Victoria next week.. why they didn’t move them to Victoria this weekend is beyond me

    Well I say Victoria hosts all games moving forward, as the government allows teams to play with no crowds even during a lockdown. The potential for this to severely disadvantage certain teams is what it is. The games get played, and it’s a bonus if fans are allowed in.

    This nonsense today is proof that any other plan isn’t going to work, with Queensland stuffing this up, and WA wanting to make it next to impossible. NSW is out for obvious reasons. SA is the only other state that can make an argument for anything.

    Just great.  Either we'll have our remaining games squeezed into midweek fixtures or we'll play non-contender gold coast during the pre-finals bye weekend, after playing Geelong at kardinia park.  There are not enough spew emoticons to sum this up.

    Doubtless with Casey tiered out after playing today?.  For those who are unaware only footy fix today is Casey on freebie on Kayo today 1pm EST.   Probably a very depleted team since big squad is presumably somewhere in the air over somewhere.

    Gotta stop relying on QLD and WA. They have proven themselves to be unpredictable. Victoria needs to be the hub until the end of the finals.

    No they're supposedly flying into Melbourne today.

    This is an absolute mess really. GMHB stadium,  Marvel, and MCG are all free tomorrow.  We could have easily played in one of those venue's and then immediately fly out to Peth. We then push next weeks game to a Sunday due to the 7 day lockdown.

    The ramifications now of missing a game is potentially huge.

    Agree, this makes the most sense. Vic Govt has proven they will at least work with the AFL 

    They should just tell all teams to come to Melbourne for the remainder of the year.

    Silver lining, maybe a week off now is a better timed freshen up for us than in 4 weeks time?

    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.

    EXACTLY!!!!

    Seriously amateur hour, this is ridiculous ?

    No because the training loads are based on consistency of performance. It’s a disaster for our preparation.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
