I'm assuming we'll be playing Sunday at the G considering we're playing Monday night and already had a 5 day break (didn't we?)

In Pert's recent interview l'm pretty sure he said it's our home game and it will be at the MCG, although no official date and time appears to have been announced

 

Definitely a Sunday. We’ve had our 5 day break leading into the Port game and the AFLPA are very strong on only one 5 day break per team this season. 
It will probably be a 3:20pm at the MCG given we don’t fly home until tomorrow, and then Saturday night prime time vs Geelong in the last round.

Fair to say there will not be any crowds allowed in before finals 😭

IMO, lock down would need to end this Thursday evening as planned, if we're any hope of having a crowd during week 1 finals.

Judging on post lock down 4 and 5, the government likes to have 2 full weekends of no crowds (post lock down), and then a crowd on the third weekend.

For instance we came out of lockdown a few days before round 13 (Q'Bday weekend) and crowds were back round 15.

If we come out of lockdown on Thursday week, crowds could be back semi final weekend.

Finals are different tho. I think the Victorian government is desperate not to lose the finals two years in a row. We’ve already lost so many big events. It’s ripping the soul out of our city. 
But you’re probably right and also no chance lockdown ends on Thursday. It’s always 14 days. Always. I dunno why they give us false hope.

Goodwin in his presser said they fly home tonight after the game - although that's as good as tomorrow! In recovery terms, maybe worse...

The red-eye? And arrive at 6 in the morning?

Awful for recovery if true

Well that’s ridiculous. AFL can’t afford to fund another night in a hotel? Or are WA such bitter [censored] they’re demanding we leave immediately?

We actually fly out tonight after the game.

There is a third possibility.  Maybe it was our choice to fly out after the game.

Why would we choose to fly on the red eye? That is a flight only taken by people who want to save money 😂

Surely these are charter flights ATM.

Surprised by this, I thought leaving Melbourne in WA for a couple of weeks was a real chance.  I reckon on Saturday this was odds on with 29 cases but now it seems the latest spread seems to be semi controlled.  Still think we will be in lockdown till mid/late next week

Because when they have lock downs they always find a bunch of cases that were infectious in the community.

I think they go short so that if it is a good outcome they can open back up again.

Off topic slightly but how about Hawthorn's fixture this year.

In a COVID disrupted year, they'll get to the end of the year having only played three games away from the MCG, Marvel and UTAS (their other home). And of those three, one was an "away" game vs Gold Coast at the SCG. 

So they'll only have played two games all year in true foreign territory.

Excellent point. Hopefully  they're sent to all points of the compass next year!

Arent you forgetting the BYE round in between?

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
