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.

    She was 96.   So hardly a surprise.

    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??

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
