    Cudos to the afl and sorting out the three affected games and finding new venues and time slots in such a small window. 

    Now let's [censored] the suns!!!

    How’s this for double standards???

     I just read this on the ABC News website…..

    ABC News: Despite 11 Queensland LGAs being plunged into lockdown, the NRL will finish round 20 of the competition in Brisbane today and tomorrow.

     

    The schedule change came just hours after Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said no professional or community sport would be played during lockdown. 

    "There will be no football matches," she said at Saturday's media conference announcing the three-day lockdown.

    "No community sport, no professional sport for the next three days."

    Quick question - why was the flight into Brisbane Airport and not Coolangatta? Plenty of VA metal flying into OOL still?

    A delightful 100k ride in a balmy 28deg Northern Rivers down to Evans Head preceding a Peroni and the game.

    Hope everyone is similarly situated ????

    Even kids netball and local Winter comp cricket matches were cancelled. I’m so angry I want to break something!

    Then again, I guess NRL players are known for their intelligence and sense of responsibility……….

    VA metal flying into OOL. That's travel industry parlance if ever I heard it. Where in the business do / did you work Superunknown?

    I think the original plan was to refuel, take meals onboard and change the flight crew for a flight to Perth and logistically this was easier to do in BNE.

    It was originally going to Coolangatta but re-directed when information regarding the lockdown was received.

    Enjoy mate. We're off to the beach and will watch the game on delay. Spring is here and the Northern Rivers is glittering. Might try and catch some whiting in the surf for dinner.

    I did read that and thought WTF.

    Equally though, I think the MFC, the Suns and the AFL would be more than happy for our team's to get the [censored] out of Dodge.

    My only question would be, did the AFL lobby them for this to occur also or were they happy to get the teams back in Victoria?

    Not sure what's better, a night in GC and play at Metricon day later than scheduled 

    or

    Sit around in a plane for 8 hours flying north then south but getting to sleep in our own beds and play at Marvel a day later than scheduled

    Hopefully this is step one of an AFL plan to hub all teams in Vic, and maybe Tas

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
