    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.

    Go Dees

    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

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
