Just read in the HUN that the Blues want to muscle in on MCG is there enough room for 5 clubs thoughts?

    They've already got us there in their home game.

    In fact the only two decent home games we have from a crowd perspective are Pies and Hawks.

    Could also be designed to drive a better deal out of Etihad and is good timing as noted by DC above!

    There is no room for them at the G unless other clubs move games from there.

    Frankly i am more worried that the Demons are still forced to play a home game at Etihad. If Carlton come to the "G" they should be offered our Sunday twilight timespot and reprogram us for Friday nights and Saturday games like we used to enjy. After all, we started life as the MCCFC!

    I would be happy to see Collingwood and Hawthorn move and be replaced by the Doggies and Kangaroos! That would make for a more equitable competition!

    Sad part is CBD that even playing a Sunday twighlight game, Carlton would still get 50,000+ there.

    Because most of their members don't have work or school on a Monday morning.

    The part that annoyed me was that they listed the 'tenant clubs' in the article in the following order:

    Collingwood, Melbourne, Hawthorn and Richmond.

    It is our home ground only .... The rest are co-tenants horning in on our awesome MCG.

    As far as I know we were there first. Everyone else is a freeloader who should be paying us for the privilege.

    We can then sling the MCC a few dollars for their trouble.

    BLUES WANT THE G

    well lets go,, off to 'Docklands' then....

    if they want us off the 'G', we'll show them! We can take over the TelstraDome!

    practice near the 'Wheel', & share with the Bulldogs.

    Hell, we may even merge with the Roos, while we're down there.

    I've got an original Idea!

    How about the Blues & Roos merge & hop about the Docklands... they could be the BlueRoos. all they need is a stripe or 2. & replace the whiteant on the jumper with a Roo image.

    Geographically close.

    They could take shares in one another...

    Of course we were there first! We invented the blxxdy game! We were the Melbourne Cricket Club Football Club when we started life as I suspect that most of our first players were also MCC cricketers keeping fit during the winter. Personally, I would be happy to see the Pies go back to Victoria Park, Hawthorn to Glenferrie Oval and Richmond to Punt Road. An alternative would be for Richmond to go to the Kevin Bartlett Oval (which is in the city of Richmond) and let us use their ground as our training ground and home base, after all it is located in the City of Melbourne. Grassroots footy is what we should be encouraging!

    The blues want the G?

    Well good for them!

    So what?

    I really don't think it's as easy as all that.

    Are some here feeling threatened..?

    it's just posturing to get a better deal from Deathlands stadium

    nothing to see here

    That and to boost their membership. I think I heard that they told their supporters they will play home games to the 'G' if they get 50,000 members. We should get Mitch Clarke to come out and say his foot won't heal unless we get 40,000 members, it would have similar credibility.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
