IF anyone ever took QB from us there should be an uproar. We have played on 55ish QB's since 1936 (when it became a PH) and on a number of "June public holiday Mondays" before it was called QB.

It is close to the oldest tradition in the AFL.

I'd happily play in the Sydney Melbourne GF match for exposure. But it would seem unfair to those clubs who have lobbied.

    Will there be fish pies instead of meat pies?

    This rivalry should have started years ago.

    No. Steak and kidney if it's in Sydney.

    Showing my age but when I saw the title of this thread I thought it was promoting a game against Carlton. The joke at the time (1965) was that Barassi's move had made Melbourne Bitter and Carlton United.

    or Felafels with sweet chilly, Gnocchi in Neapolitan sauce, Corn Fritters & Spinach & Feta triangles.

    washed down with distilled Apple Cider. -_-

    Seems to me that the best scenario would be that the Dees vs Swans game alternate between Melbourne (MCG) and Sydney and that [on alternate years] the Western Bulldogs play Greater Western Sydney therefore ensuring that the fans of both cities get to see a Melb/Sydney rivalry 'home' game each year with no single team getting any specific advantage in the way of a permanent home advantage, gate takings etc.

    No...that rivalry all but disappeared years ago...the Qld v NSW rivalry leaves it for dead.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
