Being in WA, this is nuts. 

Please Dees, please make the GF. 

I will represent you all. 

I will eat 50 pies, drink 4,000 beers and make a dozen cheese boards. 

 

Gillon on is naive in the extreme trusting McGowan - he who closed Optus as crowds arrived over one case.  
Rather like Biden trusting the Taliban to let anyone who wants to leave Kabul do so. 
Probsbly the most trustworthy would be SA or Tasmania (and better time zone too especially if he wants smother night match )

I wonder about how this works commercially? Has the WA Government had to make a payment to the AFL to be the exclusive "fall back" option or has the AFL had to make a payment to Optus Stadium as a holding deposit in case it needs to use the ground? I guess it could be both.

Or neither.

I like this.

WA has shown that it will turn up for non Eagles and Dockers matches so long as the occasion is right. See Dreamtime.

The only stadium in Australia that can provide an MCG like experience is Perth Stadium. 

While not threatening to his government, if he pulled a swifty prior to the match, it would likely hurt his astronomical popularity in WA (and I'm hoping the AFL have negotiated the clauses applying to potential shutdowns in case of COVID).

At least if Port make it to the big dance they won't have a game ground advantage.

 

Looks like even the Semi Finals and Prelims could be held in Perth too as the Cats and Dees are both flying to Perth after their games this weekend.

I’m sure the Western Demons will do us proud!

You behave now @Ethan Trembley!


Well this is a better option than the chance of playing port in ADelaide.

Just hope all the non mfc fans don't hate us for beating eagles and boo us to death.

Alice Springs would have been my choice but probably too small.

Still got one month…

need cases to be dropping, vax rates rising in Vic

expect only vaxxed supporters allowed in, entry times, etc.

cmon Dees, cmon the big V, counting on you both….

Unfortunately there is not enough time to get cases down to zero and also have a decent crowd for a finals like atmosphere. I know cases have slowly chipped down the last 2 days but we could be over a hundred in a day or two out of nowhere such is the unpredictability of this virus.

I think given Pfizer has just been made available to everyone this week, they can certainly make the game open only to those with one dose and a mandatory test 72 hours pre game and/or a rapid test on the day?  And say 30,000 capacity? 

It could be a good trial for things to come once we open up more. 
But firstly we need people to sit the hell down and stay home and stop waiting so long to get tested! FFS Victorians be less dumb!

I've resigned myself to the fact it won't be at the G and by some miracle it is at reduced capacity I'm not really in the position to afford what will be Astronomical prices . And if we are still in lockdown I don't give a flying F my parents and sister who I've been going to games with every week for 30+ years are coming over to watch with me.

One of the best ways they will get the final 20% to get vaccinated is to make it a prerequisite for entry into the footy and other entertainment venues.

However I'm pretty sure I've heard comment from the Vic Gov saying they weren't going to go down this route this year.

Next year I have no doubt this will be the case but they need the infrastructure in place to do it properly and not just flashing a card that can be easily forged.

I don't see why we can't hold it and just make it for double jabbas only.  Don't open any catering/bars and anyone in the toilets / entry points masked.  1/3rd capacity with distancing.  35,000 and open it up to members only.   NO CORPORATES!  I know it's not this simple and we have to make it of course but no Harmes in dreaming a little surely

I have not given up hope, covid numbers are going down, so fingers crossed it's at the G🙏

Happy Dance GIF by Rodney Dangerfield

Sounds like I immediately need to apply for a reverse financed internship in the match day roles at the club then aha 

This is the definition of optimism.

 

I bought a one way Flexi plane ticket to Perth leaving Sept 9 (with a 15 day window to the GF if it is on the 28th of sept).

I'll be double vaccinated by Aug 31 and I've told work if there's chance to get to perth, I'm gone!

 

Just rip the bandaid off already, Gil. 😞

Double jabs only would still eliminate people who have got their jabs as soon as possible, yet have to wait 12 weeks between shots. Like myself.

I’d be extremely peeved off if I couldn’t make it as someone one in this camp + premium reserved seat holder

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
