Gday fellow dees! A few of us are heading up to Manuka for the big clash in 2 weeks... I can get seats in the hill stand, which seems to be on the flank... the other choice is behind the goals. Re behind the goals, which side will the dees be sitting? Any other recommendations?

    The game is in Canberra?

    I assumed it was at Spotless stadium.  Now very confident we will roll them.

    Have the same question as am also planning to head up.  Is there any standing area at Manuka, as I'd prefer to stand at that venue.

    In case you need to make a quick getaway?

    From memory the Demons Cheer Squad are usually at the Northern end of the ground. The Hill Stand usually results in some pretty bad sun glare later in the day (at least you'll be in the sun)...that's where my mob are sitting though.

    nope, just because it will be bloody freezing and I can jump up and down on the spot as the Dees slaughter the hapless Giants....

    Let's see if we can make it a "Melbourne Home Game."

    Given the GWS following this is not a real hard ask crowd wise.

    It's 1:45 pm Saturday ... so it's a nice drive to say Albury on Friday night and then 2:5 hours roughly to the ground on Saturday morning.

    As the ground is in a residential area there is not that much parking but it is easy to park in the streets say 1km away and walk.

    Being a frequent visitor to Canberra it really is a nice place if there is some winter sunshine. Stay the night if you can.

    The museums (that we all pay for) are second to none and well repay a visit. My favourite after the War Memorial is Old Parliament House. Go and sit in the old cabinet room and enjoy the PM's office set up as it was in the days of Whitlam and Fraser.

    Hi all, I own a travel agency here in Canberra and am happy to arrange "cost price" accommodation and transport for any Dee supporters making the trip.   Be good to have a Demon presence here.   Just PM me.

    Note: it will be cold!!!!

    I believe this qualifies as a 'major event" and so the parking limits are relaxed in surrounding areas:

    Also I see from the Manuka website that the GWS academy team will be playing a curtain raiser, so here's your chance to see all the talent that GWS will snap up.  Don't know whom they are playing, I don't understand the Academy but the NEAFL website seems to have them playing the Canberra Demons at Wagga Wagga at that time.  Anyone know what's what?

    I think there is a better chance of you getting slim, Fat than for Greene to get 2 weeks. Mind you, now that Lethlean is not there to Leth-lean on the MRP, perhaps we will see justice in this case and a lengthy penalty for Greene.

    He will get one week....which automatically becomes two weeks because of his existing record thus far this year.  He will not play against us.

    I think the side playing the at Wagga are just plain old 'Giants Reserves' sue. The academy team will be U18s, no idea who they'll be playing though.

    Will be 2 weeks with 1 week added for bad record, making 3 weeks. Will then be offered 2 weeks for a guilty plea

    same as vince. effectively a 1 + 1

    Indeed.  But Coniglio will be back this week and Deledio will be looked at for our match after a further game in the NEAFL this week (I'd think).  And Cameron will return this week as well.

    ...and then downgraded to 1 as they are due to play us.

    What is the betting it will be deemed accidental, low. contact, low impact?

    And Rance's sneaky jab to Stevie J's guts - low impact, low contact, no case to answer.

    Toby Greene offered 2 weeks, with no option to reduce with an early plea due to his hit earlier in the year.

    My son and I are heading down from Sydney. I booked tickets through the members option on the MFC website and we are in the Hills Stand section 2.

    For a side on top of the ladder, even 3/6 is bad.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
