The AFL seem desperate to promote Carlton:

  • The easiest 'double up' games possible:  Collingwood, Melbourne, St Kilda, Gold Coast, Greater Western Sydney, West Coast.

 

We're an easy double-up game?  Plus Collingwood?  

HOW THE LADDER COULD LOOK AFTER ROUND 6 

1. Carlton 5-1 
2. Melbourne 5-1
3. Geelong 5-1
4. Fremantle 4-2
5. Brisbane 4-2 
6. Richmond 3-3

But why not alternate the Eagles and Dockers?

With the Eagles putrid next season, isn't it better to play the weaker team over there?

Process of elimination for those wanting to book to go to Alice Springs for the Dees vs Giants game. 

Gold Coast are playing Adelaide on Saturday June 3rd in Round 12. 

Currently we are only listed as playing the Giants in Round 16 with no set date. Round 16 should be on the weekend on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd of July.

Those aren't but the other 4 are almost 'gimmes'!

So overall it is about the easiest double ups of all.

People expected West Coast to be easy beats like last year are in for a shock.

They could barely field a team for the first half of the year and then tanked the rest

Has anyone received an email from the club advising of the code needed to buy tickets for the Gather Round game against Essendon?

Tickets are supposedly going on sale 12:30 today.

Perhaps - but i'm glad we are playing the hawks and Roos twice, which the blues aren't.

The blues double up games are Collingwood, Melbourne, St Kilda, Gold Coast, Greater Western Sydney, West Coast.

The pies and the dees are very tough double ups.

And of the others i reckon only west Coast is in the chalk up a win category.

The Giants are next weakest, but still have a reasonable list and might be tougher to beat than their finish to last season suggests. 

St Kilda are not likely to be easy beats, and i reckon the Suns are on the rise (pardon the pun)

We play Perth better than the MCG!

My query was more about trying to understand why rather than being too worried about it.

Easy beats, maybe not, but they are going to be a bottom 8 team. Their list profile is awful with most of their best players past 30. 

Hurn 35, Shuey 32, Gaff 30, Darling 30, Naitanui 32, McGovern 30, Cripps 30 and an injury prone Yeo at 29.

Kelly is more or less a sole hand in the midfield with Shuey playing as a 33yr old and having injury interrupted seasons 3 years running. They may remain competative with McGovern and Barass holding their backline together with a geriatric Hurn while also having the benefit of a home ground advantage.

West Coast went all in for Kelly to have a shot at another flag which they are now paying the price for. They have only just started to heavily recruit youth in the past 2 seasons after years of having a poor draft hand, while their 2018, '19 and '20 drafts have given them next to no returns. Make no mistake, they are at the start if their rebuild and recruiting the likes of Hunt and Petrevski-Seaton isn't going to mitigate that.

I cannot believe that in the period 1990-2023 which is 34 years we missed playing there only 9 times whilst Collingwood played there 3 times in that period so they missed 31 times.

I would not only ask a question I would tell the AFL they have to fix the imbalance.

Got my ticket for Gather Round. All pretty easy really.

 

My view on Kardinia Park is this... the more our current list plays there the better equiped they will be to win there!

  • 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?
