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

    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.

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
