    Did we pull senior list players as a response to the AFL uncertainty?

    Your dumbest post ever. 

    Really good post actually and what most people with half a brain are thinking.

    Lol at some of the comments in this thread, like "the AFL are idiots for scheduling this game in Queensland".

    Like Victoria hasn't had lockdowns. Or like they haven't been playing with crowds in Queensland for the best part of the season. Or like it wasn't GC's home game.

    Anyway, add this to the list of COVID disruptions we've had this season.

    Happy playing them at Marvel seems to suit us much better than it used to, not sure about the preparation though. It’s all getting weird again. Go Dees. .!!!!!

    So most people who have half a brain are thinking that?? Makes sense.

     Scomo wants  80 percent Ozzie lab  rats to be vax twice . The non vax 20 per cent wouldn't be allowed to visit the footy, hence 20 percent less attendance , 20 percent less members and 20 percent less revenue. These lockdowns are going to go on for a long time with each state playing silly buggars. We may end cancelling the footy this year. As a Dee supporter I feel gutted , we our reserve team has more byes than not taking into consideration the VFL start 3 later than the AFL. Next thing will happen Victorian TAB online punters won't be able to bet on QLD and NSW races in fear of catching the Virus. I also heard that the Delta variant came from Greece. (Delta is a Greek letter)

    I’m intrigued to hear people defending the WA government here regarding the topic of games being played in Perth.

    Victoria has continued to allow games to be played even during lockdowns. I can’t see WA doing that at all. They make teams isolate for 7 days - which is absurdly ridiculous when we know that’s actually not long enough to quarantine against the virus. So what’s the point of it? It’s political grandstanding, because it sure ain’t about the science. I’m genuinely shocked the AFLPA has agreed to it as it’s the most pseudoscientific nonsense since the zodiac calendar. It’s 2 weeks or nothing.

    IMO all teams should move into a hub until the end of the season now, then break for 2 weeks for families, and then finals teams can hub again. Do it in Victoria, who have proven they’ll at least let the games go on - even during lockdowns. Clubs moving around is just making it more difficult for certain teams because of differences in restrictions, and the possibility of exposure.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
