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 worst part about a 7 day lockdown is the first 3 weeks

    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?

    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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
