    So Ess bblessed with no 5-day break between games for the whole season🙄.

    Hope they crash and burn. 

    It would be fun if they lost their first final! 🤣

    You are assuming they will make finals?  Easy draw but hard run in.  They are so overrated.  They were 5th last year and missed out.  They will fall for sure, despite having 3 easy games coming up

    And we can watch their demise in prime time which is all the sweeter!

    Going off round 23, I reckon our game in round 24 vs Pies will be Friday or Saturday night.

    If they don't make finals it will be even more fun than them not winning one.  🤣

    The AFL might decided to bring a cheeky Thursday night in to punish us one final time before finals.

    Oh. Nevermind. Just realised that Collingwood play after us (Saturday night) in Round 23 and the AFL would never do that to Collingwood. I guess we can thank Eddie for that.

    The first thing I looked at was when Collingwood play in round 23. I knew the AFL wouldn’t care about screwing us with a short break after an interstate trip. But precious Collingwood would never. 
     

    Ours is arguably the match of the round, depending on how a few other current top 8 sides go.

    Hopefully help getting a shorts sponsor with that schedule. 
    Here’s hoping Essendon lose their last eight games to miss finals.

    Both of our WA games in July are followed by a 6 day break against a top 5 side 😖

    We only play one WA game in July. We play West Coast in Perth this week. The second West Coast game in July is at the MCG.

    Even if it was, 6 day breaks are normal. These are elite athletes we're talking about.

    Geelong play Sydney on a Sunday afternoon in June, then Carlton the following Friday.

    St Kilda have played at 7 venues in 9 rounds. By round 14 they will have played at 9 different venues.

    It happens to everyone.

    Our fixture early in the season was unfair, yes, but our upcoming fixture is fantastic and completely normal.

    Can’t wait to get roasted when we draw “disappointing Crowds” against GWS and Port on Saturday nights which are dreadful for drawing big crowds.

    Massive bonus to have the Suns game as a day game and avoid the dewy slippery games we normally have up there.

    So this year the club's bean counters and sponsors department will be happy with relation to genuine marquee timeslots:

    3 Friday night games (including Collingwood in round 24*)

    4 Thursday night games

    1 Anzac Eve

    1 Kings B'day

    (*going the early crow with round 24)

    On the flip side, it's bit of a shame we only have 2 genuine "red ball" day games in Melbourne this year. How times have changed.

    Yeah that second last point is pretty poor form.

    Agree. Proof reader needed...we've found a top candidate.

    There would have to be a complete change of all Field Umpiring Personnel.

    My bad. Just the Freo one then.

    I'll have to find something else to whinge about then. 😬

    Even allowing for the Round 24 game, only 2 of those 9 games are our home game (Brisbane in Round 5 the other one).

    Somewhat disappointing for the bean counters.

    • 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.
