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.

Even then just look at the fact that Saints Geelong have a Friday Night Game in a couple of weeks. 

 

Well that's a moot point as it's been announced back to back Friday nights

Edited by ucanchoose

Great result for us, a prime time slot also gives good promotion for one of our major sponsors in Tourism NT. It being at night means it will very likely be quite chilly, which you would imagine favours us, not to mention we have experience of playing the ground. 

I will get there at some point but sadly not next year.

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)

Not actually correct as the last few games there have been very good conditions.  It’s not Darwin where the humidity has been an issue

It would be hot a slippery just like the Gabba.

It will be cold as balls. It's not being played in Darwin

ROUND 11

Friday, May 28
Western Bulldogs v Melbourne, Marvel Stadium, 7.50pm AEST

 

ITS ON!

Brilliant! 2 Friday night games in succession. Dees back in the limelight.

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. 

surely its us and the Dogs

Does it get cold in Alice Springs? Never been there or NT. Desert state isnt it. Only know (lived)  Melbourne  and seen Syd, Surfers Paradise and Adelaide Casino. Lived in Bangkok last 21 years. I know Ayres Rock is no longer.

  • Demonland changed the title to Back to Back Blockbuster Friday Nights for the Dees

And this followed by Queens Birthday game.

Sponsors will be happy.  (so am I)

The Demons are BOX OFFICE!!

cant complain about the draw. Wins games and good stuff happens

This is actually a great result and hopefully sees the AFL move to flexible fixture in the future. There's no way they would have had us vs Bris in NT or vs Dogs on a Friday night when creating the fixture last year

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).

What is this sort of analysis doing on 'Land? Mods . . . please.

Ayers Rock (Uluru) is still there - you just can't climb it

Your memory is astounding @Bring-Back-Powell


Gee I hope us and the dogs keep winning and both go undefeated into that round 11 game. That would be epic 

LOL, "Back-to-back blockbusters", not "Back-to-back-to-back blockbusters" to include QB.

Not our fault!...

Was that Carlton game the "bruise free footy" game?

 

I don't normally drink on a school night... but when I do, I say things like.

SO. F*CKING. DESERVED!

I was quite shocked we didn't get one in this block...

Well done you bloody beautiful Deeeeeemons!

The floating fixture must stay IMO You then get rewarded for playing well instead of waiting 12 months

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
