    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. .!!!!!

     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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
