    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
