Again we don't get any advantage from this game in NT as we play a northern interstate team used to these conditions.

Apart from Port & Adelaide we have only played the saints at NT (Uluru not Darwin)

    I reckon that means the week prior, our game against the Dogs will also probably be a Friday night match (we play Adelaide on Saturday afternoon the week prior in Adelaide).

    How is a night game in the middle of winter in the desert an advantage to Brisbane?

    It would be hot a slippery just like the Gabba.

    If we play the Lions on Friday Night 4th of June it means our Queens Birthday match against the Pies is Monday the 14th June giving us a 10 day break after the NT.

    We then have the Bye the following week before playing Essendon.

    It'll be freezing.  Look up the climate of Alice Springs.

    Surprised that they're drip feeding details of the next batch of games to be played before we've even started this batch. Should be nice and cool in the red centre at that time of year, particularly at night.

    For round 11 who gets the Friday night?

    Collingwood V Geelong - MCG

    Richmond V Adelaide - MCG

    West Coast V Essendon - Optus

    Bulldogs V Melbourne - Marvel

    Will they pick 2 new sides on the rise or fall into old habits and simply choose Richmond or Collingwood.

    The ignorance about the conditions in Alice Springs really gets on my goat.   People need to learn their country

    I mean all those games are trash except Dogs vs Melbourne.

     

    The other 3 will be complete wash overs. 

    So naturally it'll be Collingwood v Geelong.

    Lucky I booked my flight to Alice for Thursday.

    Had planned for anytime that weekend but Friday night was not really in my plans.

    Now to buy a ticket ??

    Have you ever been in Alice Springs in May? The temperature can be quite low.

    I’ve only heard this line when it’s dripping with sarcasm. What is happening?!?

    Anyone. Anytime. Anywhere. 

    We'll beat them - where we play them won't matter.

    How can it not be Bulldogs vs Dees even if we're both not 10-0. Unless the wheels fall off one or both of us before then we should absolutely be given the slot.

     Alice Springs is about 450km from Uluru.

    Because Channel 7 will want Collingwood v Geelong. Those two teams could be 17th and 18th on the ladder (or 1st versus 18th) and it would still pull more viewers than Bulldogs v Melbourne as 1st and 2nd (or 2nd and 1st).

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
