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

    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.

    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).

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
