If it's Hawthorn not making the trip down the highway then you can just about guarantee that they will only be drawn to play Collingwood once next year as there is no way they will send them down there ever.

    I'm struggling to see the outrage in this as per above.

    Means that one more VIC powerhouse has to go down to pay Geelong (eg - Carlton, Essendon or Collingwood) rather than JUST the usual third class citizens like us, the Dogs and North.

    Having said that, nothing surer than Collingwood playing Geelong once next year, with Collingwood being the home team. Or if they do play twice, Geelong will be the home team....

    .....at Gather Round.

    The money from a home game down there with a clean stadium is enormous.

    Think you may now find with the increased capacity they will want to play Collingwood at Kardinia Park

    Their problem is that they need a crowd of 70k at the MCG to match the money they make from a 40k crowd at the MCG. Few competing clubs will deliver 70k crowds

    Good, they should play 11 home games down there. The fewer home games they play at the G the less likely it is we will be scheduled a home game at Docklands.

    Not to mention with the amount of government dollars pumped into the stadium they should be using it as much as possible.

    Good result for the Cats, and hopefully means we see a more even fixture with the big 4 being sent down there. I also like that Easter Monday remains at the MCG as it's a marquee game, but in the years the Hawks host they should get the extra home game at Geelong.

    All for Geelong to play 11 games at their home ground. 

    The real question that should be asked is should they be allowed to play at a venue that is as wide as a bowling green and is so far off the dimensions of every other professional ground that it is almost a different sport down there?

    If they played one game a year there it would probably be against us so no harm done.

    McClure on 3AW said it was completely unfair on all the VIC clubs and could not believe this was going ahead.

    At the end of the day, it's their home ground. They're entitled to play as many games they like down there.

    Their home finals get played away from their home ground, which more often than not is their undoing.

    I don't see Geelong missing the finals any time soon if they get 10 Home Games down at the Cattery.

    Kinda makes me want to vomit.......🤢🤮

    Not only should they play 11 games down there, it should be rotated so that EVERY club plays down there at least once every 2 years.

    Fat chance of that happening, though

    As long as all Clubs are sent down there…

    We shouldn’t be the only Victorian opponent…..

    I'm hearing that we will be playing the cats twice next year with one of our sold home games being us playing them down there also.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
