Doesn’t matter who we play or where at the moment. 
Our List has some decent talent, but the Coaches have no clue how to use it

    Would be a good time to get the Tigers IMO. They have been ordinary since the restart.

    Once again we get screwed over, we would have beat Sydney on a smaller ground, tigers will beat us easy, this season can end already ffs

    If we're relying on beating teams at the right place and time I'd say our season was already [censored].

    Why are screwed? We don’t have to travel and the tigers are struggling.  Not a bad time to get them

    Round 6 vs Freo in QLD surely in doubt now.

    We get [censored] out of playing a winless team.

    We will just get to play them in Melb now.

    we all know that the only reason this season is going on is cos of broadcast $$ to keep clubs afloat

    You are correct WWSW 

    At some point though the season may become untenable. There is a strong possibility of further travel restrictions from the Qld govt. 

    Imagine if another player tests positive 

    It could become impossible to balance the fixture in any meaningful/ equitable way

    I can see the comp being moved out of Melbourne for this season or at least for the next 6 odd weeks.

    Would mean another two weeks of byes to accommodate quarantine.

    The advantages of travel between non virus States plus crowds is very attractive.

    Either that or the whole comp will have to be played in Melbourne...

    ...or maybe it moves to the NT as someone suggested a while back.

    That may happen very quickly if the Qld gov't sticks to this line:  "The alteration requires that any Queensland or Queensland-based team who plays in Melbourne or against a Melbourne team in Queensland is required to quarantine after the match for 14 days if they are remaining in or returning directly to Queensland". 

    GCS play in Melb for round 5 and 6 and Lions to play in Melb in rnd 6 and they may not be allowed back home.  Probably hub in Melbourne.

    What the AFL cannot juggle is if all the compromises mean some teams have to play another twice and others not at all.  Bound to happen.  At that point games can no longer be for a premiership, as we know it. 

    The AFL will probably dream up some wanky round-robin games and/or weird finals structure ala the AFLW before it was cancelled outright.

    it's relatively easy now that you have three capital cities that allow crowds. The only variable is how many teams you locate in WA given the travel requirements.

    Start packing Goody

    A season where we get no breaks. Other teams have had the benefit of playing and knowing who they would play. A completely compromised season.

    Let’s move to the NT.  Let’s get a crowd. Come on Gil.  I know you love Danger, Sel, Dusty and Nat, but show some love to the Dees. 
     

    Round 8 
    Dees v Kangas (Darwin)

    Round 9

    Dees v Saints (Alice Springs)

    In Round 6 we are supposed to be going to QLD to play Fremantle. Based on QLD's rules that cannot happen.

    In the same round Brisbane is supposed to be coming Victoria to play Collingwood. Based on QLD's new rules that cannot happen.

    Do we play Collingwood in Round 6? Fremantle have already played Brisbane so they cannot play again.

    Looking forward to a slog, Richmond to be down one player from quarter time, we win inside 50s and clearances but barely scrape 50 points. Tigers by 17.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
