Vic and SA have to work together to keep this season alive QLD and NSW are completely rooted.

WA are a pack of a holes.

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

I think it needs to be a hub from here on. No [censored] farting around with QLD anymore. Our game against GC needs to be in Melbourne.

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

it might have been so but, as i understand it, we have no place to train in wa apparently. stuck in a hotel. 


At least we didn’t lose today

Now that we’re flying home, any chance West Coast stick around for another week to play us in VIC?

Footy in WA is in the too hard basket IMO.

well… it will mean we’ve flown melb- brisbane- perth- melb on the day before the game. i don’t think there’s a golden solution to want here. GC in perth is our best outcome.

Just hub the whole thing in Melbourne. 

Silver lining is that they’ve scrapped the nonsense finals bye.

The only team that likes the pre finals bye is the Dogs because we all know they wouldn’t have won the 16GF without it.

It would appear that the GCS game will now be in the spare week before the finals. Sometimes you cannot take a trick. Is there anything else besides melb players getting covid that can ruin our season.

Why on earth would you give them the GF? It is G without crowds at the worst for me.

Can we not play Gold Coast tomorrow at Marvel? If both teams can get to Melbourne today.

This is logical. Win or lose it won’t impact GCS finals chances, so integrity isn’t in question (anymore than it already is - which is a LOT)

You'd think this would be possible.

The only things I can see getting in the way are:

Gold Coast being allowed to travel into Melbourne by Plane

How long do Melbourne need to quarantine before playing West Coast in Perth (Is it 7 days?)

Clarke and Morris are guessing about the timing of the game!

Off to lunch, sans MFC/GCS game afterwards.  Will relax and wait till the dust settles.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
