Vic and SA have to work together to keep this season alive QLD and NSW are completely rooted.

WA are a pack of a holes.

They should just tell all teams to come to Melbourne for the remainder of the year. 

I think it needs to be a hub from here on. No [censored] farting around with QLD anymore. Our game against GC needs to be in Melbourne.

Silver lining, maybe a week off now is a better timed freshen up for us than in 4 weeks time? 

it might have been so but, as i understand it, we have no place to train in wa apparently. stuck in a hotel. 


At least we didn’t lose today

Now that we’re flying home, any chance West Coast stick around for another week to play us in VIC?

Footy in WA is in the too hard basket IMO.

well… it will mean we’ve flown melb- brisbane- perth- melb on the day before the game. i don’t think there’s a golden solution to want here. GC in perth is our best outcome.

Just hub the whole thing in Melbourne. 

Silver lining is that they’ve scrapped the nonsense finals bye.

The only team that likes the pre finals bye is the Dogs because we all know they wouldn’t have won the 16GF without it.

It would appear that the GCS game will now be in the spare week before the finals. Sometimes you cannot take a trick. Is there anything else besides melb players getting covid that can ruin our season.

well, we now have the perfect definition of a cluster [censored] do we not!

Why on earth would you give them the GF? It is G without crowds at the worst for me.

Can we not play Gold Coast tomorrow at Marvel? If both teams can get to Melbourne today.

This is logical. Win or lose it won’t impact GCS finals chances, so integrity isn’t in question (anymore than it already is - which is a LOT)

You'd think this would be possible.

The only things I can see getting in the way are:

Gold Coast being allowed to travel into Melbourne by Plane

How long do Melbourne need to quarantine before playing West Coast in Perth (Is it 7 days?)

Clarke and Morris are guessing about the timing of the game!

Off to lunch, sans MFC/GCS game afterwards.  Will relax and wait till the dust settles.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
