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?)

They can push our game out to Sunday or better yet since west coast are here already play the game here?!

    Doubt it. Wouldn’t they have to also isolate for 7 days before playing?

    I’d say we’ll be playing GC in the pre finals bye if indeed we’re headed to Perth as we speak.

    Hopefully the game if that happens can’t affect our position and we play all our reserves and Suns players are in holiday mode.

    Plane runs out of fuel mid air. And this is how the MFC ends ?‍♀️?

    Not a problem, look who's piloting the plane

    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. 

    Gc are a claytons team anyway.


    Not only our game but the two other games I was interested in watching are cancelled too. 
     

    man this blows

    I reckon they will try to play the GC match in Melbourne either tomorrow or Monday. Imo this is the fairest approach as the alternative to cram the remaining rounds and provide a bye provides an unfair advantages to the teams that can plan for their bye re training loads, resting players etc, where as ours is imposed on match day 3 hours before the bounce.

    Too much going on , 3AW mentioned possible Monday night game for us also. Time to slam some Jager Bombs at the local before closing that too.

    I have been sitting here looking for an up side. The power of positive thinking tells me I can relax now there is no game today, it should be a stress free day now.

    No they're supposedly flying into Melbourne today.

    This is an absolute mess really. GMHB stadium,  Marvel, and MCG are all free tomorrow.  We could have easily played in one of those venue's and then immediately fly out to Peth. We then push next weeks game to a Sunday due to the 7 day lockdown.

    The ramifications now of missing a game is potentially huge.

     

    Or just bring WCE to Melbourne next week as well

    Except we will have a five day turnaround the following game.

    In that case then that would be the worst outcome, all other final teams have a week of but not us??

    NO WAY HOSE!

    Not 100% sure, but I thought the rule was passengers weren't allowed to be on board during refueling.

    There is no reason why the players wouldn't be let off the plane as airports continue to operate even in a lockdown and unless the terminal becomes an exposure site the players would be fine re isolation.

    While there is a risk that GC players have been caught up in an exposure site since the 27th, which I'm assuming they have already been in lockdown protocols given there have been a small number of local community cases on Queensland over the past week, it shouldn't impact teams being given exemptions to play in Vic or WA.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
