Where will we play the Lions?

More likely that we don’t play in Melbourne than Alice. Lions would have to be kept away to keep the integrity of the schedule. 

Surreal times.

Hope NT lets us in.

    QLD probably won't let us travel to QLD so is Sydney/Canberra the only option?

    Our home game so we should get home ground advantage. Play it in Alice, have all the guys take a 2nd test this week if need be.

    Hope they get to play it at Alice Springs, a Friday night top of the table clash will be great there.

    Would suck to have to play at Sydney

    No I disagree It makes perfect logic if we can get a crowd to play at theG.

    Reduce  to 40% we get 35,000 snd make some money and transfer Hawthorn  game later in year to Alice.  Not Adelaide   Game.

    Hope they play it at Metricon Stadium for the selfish reason that I’m currently hunkered down and doing it rough in the warmth and brilliant sunshine of late autumn on the Gold Coast while my thoughts are always with my fellow Victorians, locked down, shivering and huddled around fireplaces. I’m up for the challenge of single handedly supporting the Demons to a big win at Carrara if Gillon provides me with the challenge.

    Isn't it more a case of Brisbane not being able to return to Queensland or us to travel to Queensland?

    Would be a big financial blow if we can’t go to the NT. That game is worth $700k to us. 
    I hope we can reason with the NT. They seem less insane than QLD and WA. Perhaps we can fly out there early, go into a mini lockdown, test and then play and fly straight home after the game?

    If we can’t play in Alice play it at the G and move another game of ours there later on in the year. 

    This would be massive for the NT  i can understand their government's position its a shame they want to give up this oppourtunity prime time Friday Night, they have been loyal to us in the darkest of times. 

    Would be extremely cruel to prevent them from such a marquee event one in which they thought would never eventuate.

    I understant covid is the issue but the players, staff and coaches are quarantining at home and aren’t in contact with others from the public.

    Whispering, I'm right with ya, hard to cop these winter temps of 22 degrees. If the game is down there I'll be right with ya. But unfortunately think we may bet our bye this week with a resigned schedule for later in the season

    The best outcome would be a game swap. Move a future game against a lesser Melbourne based club to next weekend.

    First question is who has the bye next week and are we scheduled to play them twice.

    DJ , at this point you could argue that they are all lesser clubs. ?

    Sadly covid has compromised the financial position of most clubs . We sold our home games so we could reduce our losses as our games at G were often against interstate side at bad times( how many mothers day games did we get( excluding this year)  . A couple of successful years should increase membership . Not sure when nt contract expires but hopefully soon .  A 700k loss would really hurt us

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
