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??

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
