IMO, we should get Gaz's people to talk to Brayshaw's people to arrange an away game next year @ Hobart, as long as it's in the warm climate (April) @ holiday time, & a TV game.

Around April 5th (Thursday night) or 8th (Sunday night)... This would be a replacement Idea, to 1 less Etihad away game next year. As long as it's Televised. Foxtel will do, and the club can organise decent functions on the night At the Bentleigh club & the LeighOak club.

Thoughts?

    Better that than Etihad.

    Might try and get down to that one.

    Are they playing 4 games or 2 at Hobart I forget. I think they would rather play GWS/GC/Port/Freo down there instead of us.

    Personally I'd rather us play North at Etihad. That way at least some of our fans can go, and we need to start winning games there.

    We have a few Tassy boys in out team that may enjoy playing down there. And at that time of year with the warm weather, It would be a nice little 5 - 7 day getaway for people & families.

    It would be nice to play North down there, rather than @ etihad.

    It could get us some TV exposure next year as we make a big effort for the finals that Year.

    And for those who don't make the trip down,,,, the club could put on a nice promotional function @ the newly taken in, Bentleigh Club. With Dinner & perhaps a new bigger screen and some players etc in attendance.

    No. We should not be petitioning to play games outside of Victoria. We need to get fair dinkum and bury the Docklands bogey not run from it.

    Away game, 'Demonic Ascent'... Away game...

    So what? I'd rather play away games against Victorian clubs in Victoria if it's all the same. Good to think outside the box but I think this idea is a bad one.

    The only way I'd agree to this is if we somehow convinced the AFL to stop scheduling us to play at Geelong every single year as a compromise.

    If it's okay to play games in Canberra in the middle of winter then it's definitely fine for Hobart. It rains more and gets much colder in our nation's capital.

    I'd be absolutely stoked if MFC played a game here from a purely selfish point of view!

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
