Has anyone heard when this might be held?

I thought they may have done something with the entire group together in Perth, given that indoor functions in Melbourne are unlikely to be possible for a while.

Although maybe it is better to wait until the players are sober again before asking them to give speeches.

    I heard there waiting until they can get crowds which seems unlikely for some time.

    Otherwise they should do something in Perth.

    Last I heard is that they were still hoping to do it this year. Good chance it could be December right before their Christmas break.

    There was something in the HS the other day where on option was to hold it at the G, where the fans could pack the stadium and also celebrate the Premiership win. MCC was also said to be keen on this happening as well.

    Obviously those in attendance would need to be fully vaccinated.

    You can bet they are considering how best to "monetise" the event. Don't blame them.

    What about say Feb with usual dinner $X00 a seat, some decent speakers/entertainment and a pay per view stream at say $10 a log on

    I emailed the club last night as coincidence might have it. They responded this morning. They say Feb 2022 but are looking to perhaps bringing it forward. I thought they should do it this year but maybe itis hard to get things booked. I bought a ticket and was looking forward to it and i think Feb next year loses some of the significance of our premiership win .

    Not sure how you would make money out of the B and F under those conditions WJ.

    Merchandise sales would go through the roof for starters.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
