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.

    https://vfrg.casa.gov.au/general/pilot-responsibilities/refuelling/

    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

    Been watching him today and previously. Will be gone at season end.

    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.

    They are shockers.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
