    So this has us featuring on the Sunday afternoon game on Channel 7 all the way through to the end of the home  & away season.

    And after an 8 day break this week on 7 day breaks all the way to the end of regular season.

    Nice.

    I really hope we don't have to sweat on the final game (St. Kilda vs North Melbourne) again.

    Win games and it aint a problem. 

    We should be aiming top 4...

    Haha. I was trying to find a negative just for fun, it's a longer wait to find out we've missed the 8! :lol:

    Hahahah and they still manage to give Carlton a night game (Saturday). Unbeleivable!

    PS Very happy with our Sunday PM times slot just FYI.

    Good pickup! FMD.

    Good result.

    The other positive about playing Sunday is GWS may have no incentive (may have laready secured 3rd or 4th position) hence have nothing to play ofr (ala the Crows against WC in 2017).

    Hopefully we dont have to worry about that this time!!!

    It makes no sense for Carlton-Adelaide to play any time other than Sunday. Neither is finals bound so recovery time is irrelevant.

    And we end up with a crowd-killing mid-afternoon Sunday time slot just to limit our take at the gate one more time.

    Melbourne-GWS makes at least as much sense as Port-Essendon for Friday in a football sense. The Bummers could well be grounded by then.

    Can you believe Tony Jones on the Sunday Footy Show suggested that Melbourne vs Greater Western Sydney Match should be played on Friday night. I mean really just a 5 day break coming home from Perth he is a idiot.

    If we are finals bound on that Sunday against GW$, there will be a decent crowd at the ‘G

    Late Sunday is perfect for us

    3 of our last 4 games are at the G, win the next 2 and we're home I reckon. Then aim for top 4.

    He obviously didn't look at the Rnd22 fixture. The comment was more focused on Friday night's game is the showpiece game, and that the GWS v Dees game on paper looks like the best game of the round.

    Reckon we’re in. 

    Booked first week of finals accommodation - in Canberra. 

    Family wedding. 

    Gladly have earpiece in if we’re playing. 

    FWIW last family wedding was when Baileys Dees crushed Roos Swans.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
