I had no idea what to do with myself today in Perth, ended up playing golf at Joondalup nice course a little over priced but good. The weather was perfect for golf not so sure about footy though. Anyone know the best place to watch tonight’s match in Perth?

Where are you staying?

    West Perth.

    You might as well head into Subi and go 'The Vic' hotel on Hay st. Lots of screens, grub is nice and reasonably priced if you feel like a graze and there's a great range of beers on tap.

    Cheers thanks for the heads up McQueen.

    Me and the demon sympathising wife (mad bomber member at heart) are doing the 7.30am up and 7pm back from Melbourne. I said no all weekend until first thing Monday morning that the tickets went on sale. Then jumped on one of the new release flights. Now sitting here Friday night I would have been seriously kicking myself if I hadn't changed my mind last minute.

    For those in the know what is the best transport option from airport to Optus? Any decent brunch spot close by worth it pregame?

    I got this ticket free from a fellow demonlander. No relation (I assume).

    Are you flying Virgin?

    yeah, afl package, flight (virgin airlines), Accomodation and match tickets. Found a pub showing a replay of the first prelim and have never enjoyed watching Collingwood win more.

    I can't think of anybody I would rather beat nor hate to lose to in a GF. High stakes!

    Just got here, as soon as I walked from the bridge off the plane a lady walked past me and said ‘booooo’ no joke.

    There was a plane full of demons that left just before mine. Great to see ?

    To be fair, we are about to kick her team out of the finals.

    Just a question for anyone who has been to Optus Stadium before, how much does the temperature drop when the Freo Doctor kicks in?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
