It's a $700k question

There has been nothing from Our board/Perty about our commitment so it's not a split or even us making up for the lost game previously and .$ 800k.

Purely a good chance to get national exposure on FTA TV and to show off our brand and skills near the pointy end of the season.

    The game time is most likely driven by The Dogs playing Sunday.

    If need be I'm sure the AFL could have re-structured Round 19 to get the Dogs v Adelaide game into the Saturday (e.g. swapping it with Sydney v Fremantle, as Sydney would no longer need a six-day break into the following Friday if Melbourne v Dogs was the subsequent Friday night game).

    Heard a rumour that there will be no Thursday night games until week 1 finals.

    Judging by this fixture, I think that might be true.

    Good riddance. 

    I hate Thursday night games.

    I don't mind them.

    But I'd rather the dees didn't play in them. Was weird not having a game over the weekend.

    I'm a footy fixturing equivalent of a NIMBY

    Disaster for me as that means due to a family function and a wedding I cannot watch the GC game or go to the Bulldogs game. Devo.

    Plenty of summer days available for a wedding.

    Except of course on the days including the draft, and the Community series games, oh, and any special training session where the new draftees appear.

    Come to think of it, a couple can skip the service and enjoy all the pitfalls of marriage by just living together and enjoying the footy, can't they?

    my brother was silly enough to get married at 4.30pm on that famous last Saturday of August in 1987. He and I pretty much took ourselves (as teenagers and younger) to all the games from the mid-70s. Our extended family has been supporting the Demons from before VFL days (ie in the 1800's) - so you can imagine angst this caused.

    Half the congregation stood as one and cheered in the middle of the wedding when Jason Dunstall kicked the goal at Kardinia Park, and did it again about 3 minutes later when the siren went at Western Oval. Geez it was a good reception too !

    What do you hate about them?

    I'm not a fan of watching the Dees play on Thursday but more than happy to watch another game on a Thursday night.

    This is the most important question.

    yes, if we are getting nothing from it then it's a double slap in the face for us.

    I live in Queensland and im a bit [censored] at the GC game not being up here.

    Hardly been allowed to fly down to Melbourne to see a game and then when we possibly could see the mighty Dees in person, both the QLD games have been moved. 

    I dont get the move to Darwin, massive disadvantage for the following week me thinks.

    Still, this group continues to prove me wrong so here's hoping it continues.

    Next two games will see our fwd line gel more and kick some big scores. Just at the right time too.

    I can't imagine the game going ahead in the NT at this rate, question is whether it will even be allowed to proceed in Queensland

    Hope so, as even though it’s on there home deck it won’t impact the next weeks game as Darwin would with the heat and humidity and I preemptively booked a trip to coincide with the game months back.

    The NT has been the silent star of our national Covid response. Admittedly not much to deal with, but the government has pulled all the exact right levers at the exact right time, and genuinely protected our most vulnerable communities. I have it on extremely good authority that the hard border stance started out as an election measure, but since then the local government has been the most reactive and targeted in shutting borders to hotspots and then also the quickest to lift them. The recent lockdown wasn't some vague affair where people had until midday the next day to scramble across the border, but was given one hour notice. Harsh but effective. Delta variant dealt with in the space of three days. Done. Meanwhile, the NT has carried the load for international returnees without a leak as yet, and - despite some correlation between Covid community impact and vaccine uptake - is hitting inoculation rates way way above the rest of Australia. In short, this game will happen if it makes sense to happen.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
