Watching all the coverage with the family. My youngest asked if the Queens Birthday traditional match will be switched over to a “Kings Birthday” match.  

my response “Yes I think so”.  

If we continue to have the traditional Monday holiday, to respect the current schedule and in a way start a new tradition. Maybe Charles III could be in attendance.

    So now that the Queen's birthday matches are at an end, what was the final tally?

    Looking forward to another afternoon of "COOO-LLLL-IIIII-NNNN-GGGG-WWW-OOOO-DDD' 

    and "'USA - USA - USA- USA""

    And Pies supporters inevitably  booing Petracca or Oliver when they get awarded the Neale Daniher medal despite same supporters getting offended when Pendlebury got booed on the same stage on Anzac Day.

    Other than that I love going to Pies v Dees games of late.

    From 2002 - 2022 when QBDAY game became a staple in the fixture:

    We were 6-13-1 and that includes the 2021 SCG game

    We were 4-2 after 2007.

    For the record we beat them in 1993, 1996 and 1999, and didn't lose to them in the 1990's.

    State Government media release (see above in this thread) states it will still be the second Monday in June. Just a name change - nothing more.

    It would be even better if he participated in the Big Freeze. It might guarantee his popularity for the length of his reign.

      The Demons hit the road for their last practice hit out before the start of the 2026 AFL Premiership season when they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
