Now back to my previous state of being less concerned about cancellation and more concerned about getting shizhouse seats again. The seats in front of the hill section where we sat last time are so low down my kids couldn’t see over the fence, and I barely could either.

You ‘G regulars don’t know how lucky you are. Some seats are better than others, but there’s literally no bad seat in the house there. I’ve never found one anyway.

Don’t mention good seats at the G this season. I’m glad we can attend, but the joke of not being able to use my $700 a year chair... Oh boy... I rage!

    Yeah it definitely was Tuesday originally, and I stupidly spent 15mins trying to buy a ticket at 11am this morning, until it clicked??. And I just ran into Big Maxxy at 7/11 Frankston, and asked if he knew where the game is going to be played, and he said whilst they don't officially know yet, he sounded pretty confident that the game will go ahead in Hobart.

    Meanwhile, what happens with ticketing?

    Surely the best thing to do is to move this game to Marvel Stadium at 1.10pm on Sunday and reallocate a later North game to Blundstone? 

    This would allow tickets to be sold to the supporters of both clubs and avoid the uncertainty and a possible fiasco.

    Now on sale at 2pm going by the Ticketek site. Surely a decision has been made by now.

    Why do people keep saying the later  game can be relocated to Tassie, we only play North once.

    I hope it is moved to Marvel. One less interstate game (albeit a very short trip) is a great thing.

    They mean a game against another club.

    Of course it is better for us to play at Marvel. Firstly we play better there, secondly good preparation for our big game there against the Dogs. Less travel, no weather to contend with. It would be a big advantage to us.

    Well I hope they mean between North and another club.  It has nothing to do with us.

    Yeah I don't get this. Obviously the final decision rests with the Tasmanian State Government so I don't see why a decision hasn't been made yet.

    Thunderstorms predicted for the Gold Coast.

    Why not relocate the game to there and put the teams in a hub for old time’s sake?

    I’ve emailed the AFL about playing at Marvel this week, then swapping our 2nd game against the Bulldogs with the Kangaroos in Tassie. No word back yet, but I’m confident it’ll get the go ahead.

    Some other suckers to play down there .... maybe Collingwood or Essendon.

    Is that correct? I thought it leaked quite badly in the early days. Perhaps I'm mistaken. 

    it definitely leaked.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
