It’s a much better fixture than last year but FFS Geelong in Geelong. How do we agree to this BS every year????

Geelong did well. 
hashtag no surprise. 
We get the pleasure of playing them at that [censored]-hole on a Thursday night again. Yay!

No need to look at a fixture to know that.

We are doomed to play there every year forever.

We have avoided Kardinia Park once or twice in the last 30 years.

Now that we have a much larger membership, the excuse for it is long gone.

Geelong in geelong again

[censored] off

Not counting Covid year - that's 7 out of 8 seasons and 13 from 15. 

Enough already!

Seriously any chance we could play West coast on our ground?

Thank goodness we only play Essendon & Collingwood once. 

The first four weeks are tough.

At least we have some afternoon games

North in tassie.

Yep

probably pouring rain and howling winds turns an easy game into a low scoring slog.

Why not under the roof at Docklands

Don't mind the Tassie game. Already decided to turn it into a holiday. 

AFL membership is now great value, with 9 games interstate or at Geelong. So probably restricted to 13 games at most.

That is the most interstate games I can recall, plus the dump in Geelong.


Honestly I thought once we won the premiership wed never have to go down to Geelong again. I'm guessing we are always destined to play there. 

Well we should at least be able to play them on our ground later on. 

Yet again we only get 'half' a bye. R13 Collingwood on June 12, R14 BYE, R15 Geelong Thur June 22.  Just 10 days like last year.

Why?

Most are complaining about the announcement "colliding with" the Socceroos!!

Really in fact the AFL had arranged the Round1 announcement  clearly before the FIFA game occurred and is committed to two further dates this week to complete up to Round15 by Thursday. What did  the complainants do  while the soccer game was on? Presumably most were at home watching somewhere and had access to a phone or newspaper with a casual glance sufficient at first and in-depth read after the game.

If fans can't separate 2 items in their life like earlier today I hate to visualise the mess their diaries are in.

For the record we play Western Bulldogs on SAT 18 March 2023 at the MCG a Home Game at 7.25pm. 

Now all of us can go back to our tapes of Tracey Grimshaw's last show oh No I just realised I taped over it with the last race from Dapto Dogs on that night. Life is just so complicated with all these modern devices  like recorders and iPhones!! No wonder they say we men can't do 2 things at once!!! 

Just get there in Round1 folks when we spoil Bevo's extended contract news and enable Hunter and Schache and Brodie to play freely in their first games for their new Club. Wonder if their recycled No3 ( Cody W ) is still ducking his head? 

I used to be able to do two things at once all the time.In fact that was the only way it could be done

Rab are you going?  I would never go to Adelaide to the footy. I went once not long after The crows joined the comp. Their fans made the pies and bombers look like choir boys. What a rabid lot. 

Hey OD. Yeah, I went last year. Stayed overnight in North Adelaide and had a great time. My only previous time was the first year the Crows came into the competition at Football Park. I normally go interstate once a year and next season it will be Hobart again which is my favourite of them all. Nothing better than a crisp, sunny weekend down there for the football. 


Rd 15 v pussie cats at pussie stadium

Looks to be out? Round 15 at GMHBA.

Doubles v Brisbane, Richmond, Sydney,  North, Hawthorn and Carlton.

Not bad having doubles against only 3 other finalists and once only against the premier and another prlim finalist in Pies. And twice against absolute bottom 4 sides.

Lions tiges and blues won't be happy meeting dees twice. 

Could be worse for sure. Love the late season run home at the G

Never been more optimistic pre season and this draw helps.

For anyone interested in who we will play during our loading period it looks like Port away, Dockers, Carlton, Collingwood then Geelong in Moggydishu. 

Happy Jonah Hill GIF

The Good:   two games v hawks & Kangas 


 


 

Show Me The Money GIFThe moneymakers: 

rd 6 vs Richmond (Anzac Eve)

Rd 12 vs Carlton (Friday Night)

Rd 13 vs Collingwood (King’s Birthday)

The Bad:  Rd 15 v cats at PussyPark on a Thursday night again. Ffs 

It is not a bad draw for us but I have to whinge about Geelong. They play 4 vic clubs in Geelong and it is us, North, Dogs and yep Essenscum. Again an absolute disgrace. 


At the end of 2023 and 22 full seasons of AFL since 2000- 19 times we will have played Geelong at State Government Stadium. 21 home games to Geel in that time….the big three playing at Geel in the same period ? .- ESS 1, Carl 3 Coll 0 Ffs 🤦‍♂️ 

Home games for both Anzac eve and Kings Birthday is good for the $$$ side of things.

Happy to be at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round, a venue we play very well as well as playing a franchise in Northern Territory so we may outnumber opposition supporters.

Financially we only make coin off home games. Whilst you note that the crowd averages for the double ups against Richmond and Carlton will be good, that adds nothing to the bottom line. Very few money making games against Victorian clubs, which is the same as it has been for the past few seasons

Home games against Richmond, Collingwood, hawthorn, Carlton plus round 1 is better than we normally get. Home games against Sydney, north and Adelaide are better than the usual gws and Gold Coast

  • 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.
