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.

So, you don't get out of Victoria much then.

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

Edit; changed my mind - response was a bit too racy.

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.

Another prime time slot for the prime time Dees.   

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

The Dogs and Dees will 100% get that Friday night.

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).

  • 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?
