    Please Mark shut that border to Vic and let’s play West Coast here next week. 
    Can’t we ever have some good luck??? 

     

    Screw this 7 day hard lockdown tell the Eagles your staying in Melbourne now, if we play eagles Monday night then we cop a 5 day break coming back from Perth, no thanks

    Can’t believe we went up to GC and back without the 4 points.

    If the game is tomorrow they wound't play until the following Monday to meet the 7 day requirement.  The eagles won't want to stay in Melbourne unless directed by the AFL as that is how it is going to go.  Personally I'd like to go to a live game next week, but a win is more important and we're a stronger chance at home. 

    Hopefully they are up and moving around on the plan in rotation :)

    What favours Gold Coast-  a game at Marvel? Would we see Big Bad Benny kick 8 goals?

    Passengers on board during refuelling CAO 20.9 (4.2)

    The aircraft operator must ensure that AVGAS is not loaded onto an aircraft while passengers are on board, or entering or leaving, the aircraft.

    You don't put AVGAS into a jet powered aircraft......unless you want it to crash!

    Figured it would be the same rule for all planes regardless of size.

    Apologies for not being a pilot.

    I can't see WA letting us in a week after having contact with players from SE QLD.

    Hope you are right.

    WA Govt ban us from Perth next week and then play it at home after keeping the Eagles here.

    Would be a great result for us, after the dramas of today.

    From Gary Pert

    A letter from the CEO

     

    Dear Demonland,

     

    I am writing to keep you all up to date with the latest changes to the AFL fixture following the lockdown announced in South-East Queensland today.
     
    Our Round 20 clash against the Gold Coast, originally due to be played this afternoon at Metricon Stadium, has been rescheduled. As soon we have further details on when and where the match will be played, we will let you all know.
     
    When the lockdown was announced, our players and coaches were already in transit to Queensland. Upon landing in Brisbane, they were informed of the change in circumstances and have now headed back to Melbourne.
     
    Once we know the channel that the game will be broadcast on, we will let you know, as I am sure you will all want to tune in to throw your support behind the team.
     
    Despite the whirlwind of events, we are incredibly pleased to still be able to get our Round 20 match away this weekend, considering all that’s going on around the country.
     
    At this stage, we are still planning to face the West Coast Eagles in Round 21 at Optus Stadium. However, we anticipate the day and time of this clash is likely to change, to allow us to travel to Perth and undertake Western Australia’s mandatory seven-day quarantine period before being able to play a match.
     

    As we have seen today though, things can change at any moment. Rest assured, we will continue to keep you all up to date with any changes that may arise as quickly as we possibly can. Please keep your eyes peeled to the Melbourne website and social channels for further updates as they come to hand. 
     
    We are also hopeful that things in Victoria can continue to track in a positive direction and that we can see you all back in the stands very soon.
     
    Our players and coaches entered the 2021 season knowing that every club will need to be flexible, agile, and prepared for anything. This weekend has once again proved this to be the case, but I am pleased to say that they have taken today’s events in their stride and are excited to face the Suns.

     

    Go Dees,

    Correct.

    However Pert sent an email saying we expect to play in Perth next week but different time and day now to allow us to do the 7 days of quarantine. 
    But things change hourly so who knows. 
    Come on Dan, please shut the border with WA ?


    What's the point of a 7 day quarentine, it's either 14 days or test on or day before gameday. WA going with a half pregnant approach is rediculous

    14 days has been set by governments because it is a risk approach: >95% of people who are infected will test positive within 14 days of exposure.

    But symptom onset can happen as soon as 1 day, and in the majority of cases it happens between 2-5 days.

    So 7 days will still probably allow 80% of infections that were going to appear to appear. And if they are playing then leaving, the chance of being negative in the morning of day 7 and positive in the arvo of day 7 is very very low.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
