No. Just no.

Anyone but them.

[censored] ground. [censored] crowd. 

Yes I know. I hate them but it makes sense. In this mad year.

    I would say it is GWS in Round 8 and Sydney in Round 9, going by this:

    Makes beating Hawthorn all the more critical given GWS at Giants Stadium is a formidable task the week after -  although hopefully we may 'host' them at the SCG.

    If the current NSW Covid cluster takes off, things are going to get tricky for the NSW hub. This flexibility the AFL talk about might soon have to be acrobatic.

    Given that there are now night games Thursday to Monday inclusive is it too much for our sponsors to expect some night time FTA cover.

    Another Sunday afternoon game I think against the Hawks... grrrrrr

    Although the Sydney numbers are small one more week of similar numbers and Qld will slam the gates. (It's an election year up there.)

    I'm maintained that if NSW can't host footy due to COVID, she's all over. Surely a bridge too far??

    The AFL will no doubt be panicking about the rise in cases each day.

    The AFL won't cancel the season until all states are in lockdown and also Manus /Christmas islands are ruled out

    DJ this is easy we are a póorly performed club with low supporters numbers. Our only chance is when we play a high number club like Collingwood or Essendon. Honestly we don't deserve a night game.

    Swans will be without Isaac Heeney, and hes  one of their few good players.  We gotta beat them

    Kennedy too.

    Surely if it’s our home game Brisbane should at least play us in Sydney.  What a joke to play them on the GC.  Brisbane are being handed the softest draw

    5 out of the 9 games are now night games. No matter how bad we are there are enough to go around.

    Seriously a night time win over the Hawks would be great for our future prospects. The next two against Sydney and GWS will probably be low rating fixtures win lose or draw

    PS.... I see we got Brisbane in a 6pm Sunday game... at least that's a start

    Brisbane at Metricon..

    Some teams were always going to benefit greatly from this mess of a season, and Brisbane are well and truly ahead of the pack in that regard.

     Going to be nigh on impossible for any Melbourne teams to make the GF  or even top 4 at this rate.

    Why not in Sydney if our home game? There is no other game in Sydney that day so can’t be a clash issue. Not only do we have to jump on a plane to play our home game in their state but we have to go and play them in greasy dusk/early evening conditions (which they are used to). Baffling.

    I agree it seems very strange

    Agree. Meanwhile Essendon who continue to get kissed on the [censored] with this years fixture are off to Adelaide to play the crows... AFL's pet team.

    I would say the AFL might be reading the tea leaves and ditching NSW as a hub option due to increased cases??

    Yes absolute Joke. I’d love to have Essendon’s draw thus far. Anyone would think they finished 17th last year. Doing all they can for them the AFL.

    That's alright. 6pm start means we won't cop the dew we would if it was a true night game. Metricon looks in good Nick too

    Am I right to assume we will then be in a QLD hub? If so not bad either. Nice and warm. Perhaps they could use the facilities, ground etc they use for their camp. A good group of dees fans up there too to cheer the boys on.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
