And 20 questions. 

I'm thinking of a coach.

Does he like to play tennis?

Too complex for Collingwood players. I would have been concerned about I Spy, too, but being in Queensland means they can keep it simple by saying each time that it starts with XXXX.

    Did you take that photo Fork?

    Nah, my wife did though. Plenty of Dees supporters in Yuendumu and nearby Nyirrpi. Tickets to this year’s Alice game will be a premium!

    So we know Pies/Dogs/Saints then most likely R17/18 Freo/Swans, Essendon looks like Rd15 so leaves GWS as R16

    Next 2 weeks are vital to playing finals, come away with 2 wins and we are right in the hunt, 2 losses ends our chances 1 win 1 loss makes it really hard but still can win 4 out of last 5 to make it.

    So we have Pies Bulldogs and  Saints ahead

    Who is left to play?

    Swans Essendon Freo  GWS

    Surely we can almost win all of these  we are playing good footy and have few injuries and we seem to be a very fit side

    12 wins and a couple of finals 

    the end to a difficult year Go Dees

    NO! NO! NNNOOOO!

    Not ...we can almost............WE CAN....MUST..........win all of these....... Same reasons ..........and a Grand final.

    If the coach hasn't got the players that realise this season is there for the take Ng and we have a squad to continue for the next few years.

    We have to prise the window open but it is definitely there for us.

    GO DEES

    That Essendon game being canned was always going to come back and bite. Another brutal run of matches, all in warmer conditions no less.

    That fixture is absurd.     Four games in 14 days.   

    Basically no chance Luke Jackson will play again this season now.

    Saving him for the grand final.

    I'm packing the car to Cairns. Pretty confident I can get into Cazalys with or without a ticket.

    The positive is we only meet one team that comes off a longer break than us - Freo has 5 days v our 4 into that match.

    All other games we either have the same break (Syd 5 v 5) or a longer break (Bulldogs 7 v 6), (Saints 7 v 6) and (GWS 5 v 4)

    Playing round 17 on Saturday you would think a 5 day break is a short as it will be for the round 18 match. 

    If we stay fit cant see us losing one from here haha

    two Saturday night prime slots and one lone Monday night slot is good for the sponsors

    Winnable games all. Keep the injuries to a minimum and I'd back us to win 4 or hopefully 5 and make finals

  • Quote

    So we have a four day break vs Freo, who have an extra day. And a five day break vs GWS, who have a four day break.

    Hopefully Freo are out of contention for finals by the time we play them.

    I don't see it as being too bad:

    Round 14 comes after 4 rounds a week apart Sat (13), Sat(12), Sat(11), Sun(10).

    Sure rnds 15 (Swans, Thurs), 16 (Freo, Mon) and 17 (Giants, Sat) will be a bit nasty but then we have another 7 day break to rnd 18.

    And some bright notes: we can stay in Cairns for the Syd and Freo games and we do not play any team that is coming off a bye.

    Without comparing I suspect it is no worse than most teams.

     

    It looks like the AFL is saving the Ess game to see if is a play-off for a spot in the 8.

    Meanwhile Brisbane have not left the state since round 1and the furthest they've travelled is an hour to Metricon. 

    They'll be filthy they have to fly to Cairns for 1 match.

    • 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.
