Bound for Perth it seems.

Living in South East Queensland, I was originally quite happy when our game Vs the Suns was switched last week, as I'd inadvertently double booked myself with a camping trip.

Was stoked when I booked my tickets for today's game on Thursday night.

Really flat about things being cancelled this morning.

Guess I was really fated not to watch this game in person. 

Yep a real bummer. Got the freebies for myself and grand sons then purchased tickets for 3 others and was looking forward to the short drive and seeing them live then this happens. Then thought OK I'll fill the bar fridge up and watch them on TV. That's also canned so I will just have to empty the bar fridge and watch whoever. Not happy Jan.

So where does this leave our fixture against GC? Are we now having a bye and playing the Eagles?

Geez, I'm stoked.

Just landed at Coolangatta Airport and some nice bloke sold me his 5 tickets to today's game for my entire family and even gave me a 10% discount.

Why wouldn’t we be returning to VIC and GC Suns heading on a plane to VIC to play tomorrow, as opposed to heading to Perth and having a game to catch up on before finals?

I've been mellow this year compared to most couple of years? I've also limit my interaction on game day threads purely on this but half the time I'm with my Melbourne supporting mate watching the footy.


So we flew up this morning? What do we do now, come back home or go to perth? 

Also why can't we play & just not have crowds?

Don't mellow too much! It's part of the fabric of Demonland!

I hope our game doesn't get re-scheduled for mid-week. The club should lobby hard to extent the season by a week or do we still have the pre-finals bye to fall back on?

That's so funny. I just presumed all of us who post on here have no mates and watch the game in a isolation whereby we can vent our fury. (heaps of projection in that statement).

Enroute to Perth right now, turned around midair 


Welcome to COVID reality on Gold Coast. Life has progressed pretty much as normal up here so we were due. Have no issue with lockdown as Sydney is a case study in what can happen. I do however think government collectively has failed the people with vaccination rates and hotel quarantine. My luck has free tickets; food and drink in Virgin lounge. For those who have not been there it great. Totally different vibe to MCC and long room. The only positive is we can’t lose!

Because state governments have NFI


Better off going to Perth. Can they give us both 4 points? Theoretically they by virtue of the QLD govt they’ve forfeited?

Why go to Perth??  Why not play Suns at Marvel tomorrow night. 

Because they have to isolate for 7 days before playing WCE

That would be too sensible.

 

Gold Coast are now preparing to fly down to Melbourne today ?‍♂️

Surely we can isolate in Melbourne as part of the 7 days?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
