    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.

    • 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.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
