Reports are there will be a double header at Marvel with one have starting at 1pm the other in the evening. Surely with our day out on a plane and such on the tarmac we should get the late game

    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.

    Passenger aircraft can be refuelled(not AVGAS) whilst boarding or with passengers on board as long as the No Smoking sign is illuminated(always on) and the Seat belt sign is switched off. Crew cannot venture more than 4 seat rows from Emergency exit doors.

    Last year the essendon game led to us playing 2 games in cairns under a week in monsoon . This game  who knows  when we play and the implications

    I think WA will shoot themselves for n the foot with compulsory quarantine making too hard for AFL games to be played there in the remaining rounds, considering what’s just happened today.

    So a Melbourne / Adelaide hub seems like the best option .

    You would think so. But it’s the AFL so anything can happen. 
    The MCG is also available tomorrow. Could have two late starts to accommodate everyone who had to spend the day flying

    I believe this is a blessing in disguise. Flying to GC and playing them at their home ground on the same day is the worst possible preparation for a game. They are in good form and no doubt would have exploited this. Looking forward to play them over here tomorrow or later on.

    A bit disappointed with Ticketek today.

    Tickets were delivered by sms, surely they could have sent out another sms to let people know the game wasn't going ahead, but nothing.

    Must say though that Ticketek's online ticketing user interface is tones better than Ticket Master - they are the worst.

    I would hardly call wasting nearly a whole day travelling good preparation

    The AFL should bring all clubs to Victoria and set up hubs like Qld last year. How can they possibly risk another occurrence of what happened today? We know the WA government can shut things down at the drop of a hat, and now Queensland too. Play the rest of the games and all finals in Victoria. We have the grounds, MCG, Marvel, GMHBA, even Ballarat. We have our COVID situation seemingly under control. Make it easy for yourselves AFL, and stop trying to appease vested interests. The game today should have been at Marvel all along, it was a no brainer.

    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 .

    Your dumbest post ever.

    They now can get a good nights sleep and a leg stretch and play them at a happy hunting ground for us.

    Queensland Chief Health Officer has just announced that the game will be stopped at 4.00 pm and whoever is in front at that time will be awarded the points

    Yes I would prefer this game at marvel rather than G.

    Ok plans changed so I can still watch the game. 
    If they change it again I give up. 
    Marvel. Closed roof I assume. Let’s go Ben for 10 straight!

    Is this a good preparation? Absolutely not. But is it better that the boys will have a good nights sleep and be able to play on a track they know a little more than GC? Absolutely. 

    More proof that we need to adapt to the changing situations at every turn.

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

     

    Pretty happy we got out of QLD with no injuries though before finals.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
