I detest alternative strips

Jumpers DO NOT clash

we do not have the number of teams that requires it like english football for example

I do think Collingwood could yet be the saviour of retaining traditional jumpers for the rest of the competition

    I just finished reading today's Herald Sun sports lift out. In the middle of the first month of summer, the Collingwod Football club got more coverage and was mentioned in more articles than our test cricketers, tennis players and track and field athletes combined.

    If anyone bends over for Collingwood it's that newspaper!

    That's dead naive!

    Collingwood, like us put in their fixture requests each year.

    Collingwood, unlike us, have most, if not all their, requests granted.

    The AFL do the fixture - not Eddie Maguire despite his obnoxious claims.

    I would laugh if Collingwood were given our draw. Imagine the hoo ha - but then again, the compensation they would receive would wipe off their $8m years losses in one hit. The AFL are looking to give us a paltry $250K

    I'm sorry but they are just not a viable club and are a victim of the national expansion of the AFL. I think its time that they either moved to Tasmania or West Sydney.

    ;)

    Exactly.

    If any Collingwod support tries to get mileage out of 'them' giving 'us' the Queens Birthday game, make sure you agree completely that it is totally unfair, and that the only way to restore equitable treatment would be for Melbourne and Collingwood to swap fixtures every second year...

    Port Moresby Pies has a nice ring to it!

    The further away the better

    Merge them with Port & export them to South Aus'.

    This is a bad year to realise the losses that the Pies have just done because next year it's going to be bloody hard.

    Regardless I'm more interested in what we're going to do, even though it would make me smile watching them struggle.

    Whatever we might think about Eddie and all the advantages Collingwood gets, I think he's right on the issue of Richmond's application to move Polak to the rookie list. It's opportunism at its best and really smacks of draft tampering when you try to change the rules at this stage of proceedings. That said, I'm not sure that we're going to be inconvenienced all that much and I'm not sure that the Tigers will get as much mileage out of Ben Cousins as they think they will.

    By the way, we own a few pokie venue leaseholds too, don't we?

    I wonder how they're travelling?

    Merging the ferals with the filth, now that's an idea. It will also see the benefit of improved crowd numbers at AAMI. :P

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
