    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
