Can't complain. Don't play any team twice who finished above us.

And I reckon only playing the swans once is a good outcome.

I can’t work out how we have the most difficult draw. Unless they count preseason intraclub scratch matches as then we play ourselves about 5 times. 

Will be interesting to see how the Cats go as they play us, the dogs, Brisbane, and Port in their 9 games at GMBH so they can’t lock in their usual 8 wins at the cattery.  They have Sydney, North, West Coast, GWS, and Port interstate. May struggle to get to 12 wins for the season.  But I feel like it’s a win win, as if they miss the 8 nothing would make me happier other than us playing them in another final.

    10 games at the G and 2 at Marvel. Considering we are hosting a game in NT that’s a good draw for me.

    I’ll be at 12 games, you beauty!

    12 games at the G

    No premier gets an easy draw and anyways we are better off with a difficult fixture list. Toughens us up for finals. 

    And remember we beat all the Top 8 last year other than the umpire influenced loss to the Doggies at the G. It's the lesser teams we struggled against.

    The Hawk supporters don't show up unless they are Premiership contenders and that's not likely.

    Most are really fair weather fans...they only have a few rusted on's and I reckon I know most of them.

    They should definitely be shunted down to Kardinia Park in our place then!

    This will be a Cue in the rack game by the Blues. 

    I recall a game in the Roos years when we were pushing for finals and in the second last round (I think) put in a limp performance against the Blues on our home ground which finished our chances. Embarrassing to watch their goals raining over my head all afternoon.

    We owe them, cue in rack or not.

    I think it’s fair to have a crack at them but round 7, Saturday, 4:35. Early in the season and a decent time slot that’s family friendly but after junior sport. If they’re 3-4 or even a competitive 2-5 with a new coach they’ll turn up. Especially if it’s one of their Tassie replacement games.

    If Carlton are any good next year I can see our round 22 home game attracting 50K regardless of time slot. Could be a public holiday type money spinner.

    Agreed. We’re absolutely hopeless against North at Hobart.

    Even during a season when we win a flag and they cop the spoon, we still take 3 and a half qtrs to put them away at Blundstone.

    I live 500m from the GMHBA ground and never attend. Elitist club the Cats and any semblance of a reserved seat is $70 upwards. Many locals can't afford this. The crowd beahviour is appalling also. 

    They NEVER fill the stadium because of this. Despite all the new Grandstands. One of which faces straight into the afternoon sun.

    The upside this year though is instead of Us being scared of who we play twice, you can bet all other team fans will be looking at how many times they play the Dees instead.

    I haven't been back since that dark day

    We beat them three times in 2021 ... at the MCG, GMHBA and Optus. Time to get over the hurt.

    I think a fairly tough draw. But we are premiers so you can.t complain too much except on one thing.

    [censored] geelong. I absolutely hate the busterds. Now if you look at the geelong fixture they play 4 melbourne teams down there and guess who they are ? Us, bulldogs, saints and north. This is a disgrace. The day I see the filth, esenscum, richmond and hawthorn play down there in a season it will be my final orgasmatron. 

    It won't happen though.

    Glad we have given Blundstone the boot.

    Completely agree. I see this game as our end of year %builder and we give them a flogging on our last home turf game

    I'm just surprised they gave us a home game against the Bombers. Can't remember the last time that happened. Do they even have a clash jumper?

    The two biggest commercial games for us are both away (tiges and Collingwood) and our home games are against interstate sides. There is no cash in for us after winning the flag. It's like they want to prove we are a second rate club who's numbers won't stack up.

    Disgusting and disrespectful draw for the club. 

    Don’t we take it in turns re the home side for both those games?

  • Quote

    Now the fixture is out, will the club update the premiership cup national tour dates, unless I missed it already?

    The two Friday night games with us against Ess is for the AFLW GF the next day to give it space.

    Lots of hand wringing on here. It’s a fixture so it will never be even. Raining night games for the sponsors which is great and I love the rolling fixture - keeps us always a chance to get good slots. 

    I will try to get down a few times.

    Lets get into it

    • 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.
