Queen’s passing

Great Northern Summer
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Given the very sad news of the Queen’s passing, sporting events in the UK are being called off this weekend. England v South Africa at The Oval has been called off tomorrow (day 2). Today was washed out anyway.

As part of the Commonweath, will this affect sport in Australia this weekend?

I understand there is a 9-10 day mourning period too.

    Very interesting.. I would doubt we would call off any events though.

    I would guess that we would introduce a minutes silence tonight instead of calling it off.

    As for the Queen's Birthday clash, Queen Elizabeths real birthday is 26th of April.

    We dont celebrate until the second Monday of June.

    Prince Charles is on 14th of November.

    I would imagine that we would retain the public holiday on that date and simply rename it.

    I wouldn’t expect the game to be called off. A minute silence obviously..

    When princess Diana had her funeral they had to move the 1997 Friday night elimination final to the Saturday afternoon.

    If the queen’s funeral is Friday night our time, I expect Friday’s prelim to be moved to Saturday afternoon.

    The woman lived an incredible life and died peacefully at 96 in a castle surrounded by Corgis.

    all players will wear black armbands ?

    Apparently her funeral is day 10 after her death (if you believe news.com.au) so next weekends prelims won’t be affected.

    The Brownlow might be on at the same time??

    Love the Monarchy or not you have to admire the life she led and the person that she was. Now is the time to pay respects.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
