Vic and SA have to work together to keep this season alive QLD and NSW are completely rooted.

WA are a pack of a holes.

They should just tell all teams to come to Melbourne for the remainder of the year. 

I think it needs to be a hub from here on. No [censored] farting around with QLD anymore. Our game against GC needs to be in Melbourne.

Silver lining, maybe a week off now is a better timed freshen up for us than in 4 weeks time? 

it might have been so but, as i understand it, we have no place to train in wa apparently. stuck in a hotel. 


At least we didn’t lose today

Now that we’re flying home, any chance West Coast stick around for another week to play us in VIC?

Footy in WA is in the too hard basket IMO.

well… it will mean we’ve flown melb- brisbane- perth- melb on the day before the game. i don’t think there’s a golden solution to want here. GC in perth is our best outcome.

Just hub the whole thing in Melbourne. 

Silver lining is that they’ve scrapped the nonsense finals bye.

The only team that likes the pre finals bye is the Dogs because we all know they wouldn’t have won the 16GF without it.

It would appear that the GCS game will now be in the spare week before the finals. Sometimes you cannot take a trick. Is there anything else besides melb players getting covid that can ruin our season.

Why on earth would you give them the GF? It is G without crowds at the worst for me.

Can we not play Gold Coast tomorrow at Marvel? If both teams can get to Melbourne today.

This is logical. Win or lose it won’t impact GCS finals chances, so integrity isn’t in question (anymore than it already is - which is a LOT)

You'd think this would be possible.

The only things I can see getting in the way are:

Gold Coast being allowed to travel into Melbourne by Plane

How long do Melbourne need to quarantine before playing West Coast in Perth (Is it 7 days?)

Clarke and Morris are guessing about the timing of the game!

Off to lunch, sans MFC/GCS game afterwards.  Will relax and wait till the dust settles.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.
