Does anyone know what driving to Kardinia for a game is like? Trying to decide if I should train it or drive it. I live west side so would get on the train at Footscray. 

Get the train to south Geelong, go to the pub, Barwon Club or sawyers Arms… maybe grab a burger at Kardinia Cafe for a ‘cultural’ experience.

celebrate the win long and hard, fall asleep in someone’s flowerbed  👍

    The new Geelong theme song for when they play the Dees:

    We are Geelong, we’ve always got the flu
    We are Geelong; half the game spent on the loo,
    We play the game, the way Maxy wants us to play
    At home or far away,

    With our pants down below our knees, you don’t give a phark
    Down at Kardinia Park.

    Worried about a match up of de Koning on Brown, lucky Stewart out but can’t see Brown matching DK in the air

    Will be a challenge for DK to hold up their backline without Steward. Perhaps a key part of Brown's role tonight might then need to take DK away from the play and being a decoy. Dees play the game through Fritsch and other forwards.

    Brown is good on the lead, not when they dump it on his head.

    I really really pray that the umpires don’t feature in this game. I can take a loss but not another +3 goal advantage due to soft frees or 50/50 calls in the f50. Hawkins will no doubt flop for a few so let’s hope the umpires are not influenced by the feral crowd. 

    It should be a good contest but I don’t think we can read too much into the result given the time of year and obvious disparity of the grounds dimensions and how that will effect a teams game plan and ball movement.

    if umpired well and fairly, Dees by 6 goals.

    Wouldn’t worry much about that, Brown hasn’t matched anyone in the the air this year & we’re doing alright

    I was gonna PT it there but am now in the city, gonna catch a ride with a friend, meeting her at Parliament station. I’m with another friend whom I just ran into (Geelong supporter) and neither of us has been up the posh end of the city in decades. So we’re like MaryLou and Billy Bob Joe visiting the big smoke for the day. He’s had several ppl call out “go cats!” and “carna catters!!” etc. All’s I’ve got is a very distinguished elderly gentleman stepping out of the Yves St Laurent shop as we passed, and he says, “well, as long as it’s not a resounding defeat, I believe a loss this evening wouldn’t be the end of the world.” 😂

    I cast every game onto the tv in Phuket, I reckon it's great. Might depend on how good your internet is though.

    I've paid the $20 as a back up. I'm currently having a pre game drink in the Sports Bar and mamasan assures me "all good for you"!

    That is the way I watch week in, week out. It is a good coverage and would be worth the 20 bucks.

    • 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?

      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.
