    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
