    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

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
