Who would have guessed, crp weather in Queensland in early March, time to bury round 0 AFL. The worst idea amongst many other bad ideas

I don't know enough about Qld weather but March 6th is TOO early for the AFL season! If opening round was a week or three later AND the participating teams ONLY played other teams from that round in the second week I'm fine with it.

Brayden Maynard? I wouldn't want to kill the guy. But does anyone know how to use a voodoo doll to give him gastro? (Just till late September.) :(

That should help us but I was really looking forward to watching him play live again.

The AFL believes there are two realistic options to reschedule the Gold Coast vs Essendon game… 

1) Move existing Suns & Dons matches a day or two either way so it can squeeze in the middle. This is clearly more of an option around byes. (Rds 2 & 14 for GC - Rds 4 & 16 for Ess) 

2) Work with other clubs to shift their matches around so GC v Ess can slot in. The backstop option is to play it after Round 24, in the week before finals. It’s complex, particularly given there is travel involved for the Dons.

They’ve had days to reschedule the games with stadiums available and now they can’t even say when the games will be played?

They would want to make sure accommodation and transport are on board with rescheduling or cancellations!

 

There’s no precedent to look at.

It wouldn’t surprise me to hear airlines aren’t gonna take circumstances into consideration; refunds won’t be given and rescheduling flights would incur a cost. Hotels and Airbnbs etc. will probably be a little more flexible and understanding. I feel for the travelling teams’ cheer squads and fans who would’ve booked flights and accommodation when the fixture was released.

What does surprise me is that our club’s not involved. This situation is peak MFC. 😂

Considering the NRL Vegas jaunt was last weekend 

This whole episode is an absolute farce that is going to cost people a lot of money. 
Andrew Dillon and Laura Kane have got some serious explaining to do, not that they will say a word….

Wishful thinking but put me back in the Tardis set the time clock back to 1956 for the season opener. At Punt Road v Tigers Saturday April 14. Mercifully no petty squabbles all teams get to play.

For those still in a spin about the practice game result. Demonwiki reports “Neither sides forward line impressed.” For the accuracy pendants you’re still relevant, MFC 12 goals 18 behinds. Sputnik launch was still over two years away.

And John Farnham was just about to start his farewell tour?

First or second?

Great news for us if Lions/Cats is re-scheduled to Round 3 (which sounds likely). Given that Brisbane play on a Sunday in Round 2 the re-scheduled game will probably be on Saturday 29 March at the Gabba. That means we will get the Cats in Round 4 off a six-day break and travel. We also will be coming off six days, but after Gold Coast at the G. A great chance for us to knock the Cats off down there.

I don't buy the line that the Cats are traditionally bad off a bye - a bye in Round 3 is different to one in the middle of the season when they exhibited those issues in the past.

Is there a Demonland ESPN footy tipping competition active? 

It rolls over every year so if you previously were in the competition at Footytips.com.au then you are still in the competition. Just make sure you remember your username and password for that site and submit your tips before the first game.

A cyclone making landfall so close to Brisbane at this time of year is extraordinarily unlikely. They have nothing to explain.

I don't understand the hostility toward the Opening Round concept, especially with people using the cyclone as supposed evidence against it.

I'm indifferent to it but I think starting at round 0 is incredibly stupid.

For me I'm not blaming the AFL for a cyclone, could happen next week or the week after, and it's very unlikely.

I just don't like the opening round as a concept because it adds further inequality to an already unequal fixture. All the clubs should have this weekend off to prepare for the season and then away we go. One bye each through the middle of the season and I also hate the pre-finals bye personally, but understand why they keep it.

The NRL went to Vegas last week 

there is no point having Round Zero

Soooo many reasons!

  • Adds further imbalance to already unfair fixtures. Look at us last year - 5 games in 28 days to start the year.
  • Why should some teams get one less week of preparation than others?
  • Why should more than half of the AFL's fanbase have to wait an extra week to see their team play?
  • It ruins the excitement of Round 1, whether it's for going to the games, watching on TV, and even tipping comps.
  • I also get annoyed trying figure out where teams actually sit on the ladder when some have played less games than others.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
