Speaking to a Richmond supporter 'mate' of mine today - believes we'd be lucky to get one Friday night match aside from our primetime ANZAC event.

So, nearest to the pin Demonland

Are there any optimists (3 Friday nights plus)?

Personally, I think we will get 1 (and a lot of sunday arvo's).

Yep ? Anzac +1 for me

 

It takes too long to get served at The Tippler on a Friday after work anyway. 


The coincidental one against Richmond then zero. If we do jag one, it will be as the away team.

Hello Sunday twilight graveyard shift to be shared with North, Saints (with a few cameos from the Dogs) and interstate teams.

 

 

1 and that will be the ANZAC eve game. There is not a hope in the world we will get any more. What can we expect. Maybe a Thursday night and a couple Saturday nights i imagine. Personally i would rather Saturday night games anyway.

Going with 8. Starting with a round 1 Friday night blockbuster against the Suns at the G. 

☝️That aged well


I think we'll get one more, but it won't be our home game. Maybe against the pies, bombers, or blues.

Thursday night games are almost as good as Friday nights for PR and sponsors as they are stand-alone FTA.  Hopefully if we don't get Friday nights we get a few Thursdays.

Thinking 0 other Friday nights and one ho-hum Thursday night late June game against Port over there.

Feels about right @Bring-Back-Powell

Zero Friday games aside from Anzac. Tigers, Pies, Dogs, St Kilda even will do better

I'll go with two.  The ANZAC Eve game and then one against a random opponent late in the season.

I think I was closest to the pin.

We've done well to get three Friday night games, even if two are away games.  Richmond, Brisbane and Hawthorn are good opponents to have in those games.

Yep, Bravo! I'll send a frozen meat tray your way...well, maybe not in this heat.

I dunno, I even made the bold prediction it would be against one of the Bombers, Blues or Pies! ?

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
