I have a soft spot for the Shinboners but if they can't make ends meet then they need to relocate to a place where they can flourish or just fold. They're already selling out their own fans to the tune of four home games a year just to keep their heads above water so it's time to [censored] or get off the pot for them in regards to Tasmania.  

If the concerns about a phoenix club being viable down there are credible then moving lock stock and barrel could see them keep enough of their Melbourne based support to make the difference. I don't want to see them being gifted 'home' games in Melbourne as a sweetener to move however.

    I've worked out how to make it viable.

    Every home game they can play a double header.

    And Bob's your uncle (more than likely).

    There's no way they're sending a Victorian team there - imagine having fans from the south, fans from the north and fans from Victoria all having to be catered for.

    My prediction is that they won't want 20 teams so a Victorian club will be merged with Gold Coast (ironic if North, but I'd want to keep our finances above float just in case) to pump them up, opening the space for a brand new club to start in Tasmania.

    The only issue I have with this is talent. There is already not enough talent to go around for 18 teams adding another will only exacerbate this issue.

    That never seems to be factor in AFL decisions Dr.Their attitude seems to be 40 more players would be playing at the top level. Quality doesn't seem to matter.

    I would put all their home games before June and half of Brisbane and Gold coasts after June and the other half down south. Then give the Roo/Devils 2 home games later in the year at the G to bring in footy followers. [censored] playing down there in July and August. Yes it would stuff up a lot of "Big matches" but it wouldnt bother me.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
