Queen’s passing

Great Northern Summer
in Melbourne Demons

Posted

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. 
    I want this exact death.

    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??

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
