Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder.

On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos.

Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat.

At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf.

The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

Over in Perth, Fremantle hosts Port Adelaide in what looms as a fierce contest. Needing a win to crack into the 8 the Dockers but will be tested by a Power outfit desperate to prove they're not a bottom 4 side.

Sunday kicks off in Adelaide as the Crows welcome the Eagles in a game the Crows should easily win despite West Coast breaking their 2025 duck last week.

The round concludes with St Kilda facing the Suns under the roof at Marvel. The Saints need to make a move now if they're serious about finals, while Gold Coast are aiming to prove they can win away from their Northern fortresses.

Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

Giants have some serious outs. This is a big game for them.

tipping:

  • footscray?

  • peptides?

  • baggers?

  • dingley?

  • filth

  • flagmantle?

  • crom

  • us?

  • gc17

as always, we need those around us on the ladder to lose - if gw$ with all their outs gets over the baggers it'd be better for us, while the pear getting up over walyalup would be arguably better for us, as we'd both join them on 5 wins, presuming we get up too

i'd love it if kangas could up over the filth as the surprise of the week

 

Tonight's game will be a cracker.

I wonder how the dogs will play the whole Bailey smith factor.

I wonder if they'll just ignore him by not interacting with him & getting sacked in.

But hope the dogs win

bulldogs have been to Mordor nearly as much as we have.

aints and the kangas the same?

i would presume they would not be too far off - it's almost like we, as smaller melbourne-based clubs - are automatically shunted down the highway so that they can fill their quota of 9 home games down there

The only way to stop going to that lousy stinking Ground is to win a High% of games, including September.

Otherwise yes, we will be nothing more than Jeeelong’s quota…

no, its to get 80,000 to games every week, even if we are last on the ladder.
praise be to the almighty dollar.

 

May the Dogs smash the Cats, and may the Bont get 100 touches and shut that insufferable tool Smith up

the afl don't care about crowds during the regular season, other than for the warm and fuzzies of it all

it's all about the broadcast revenue and the wagering growth

now, finals? different kettle of fish

The Clubs care about Big Crowds

Teams that pull 80,000 regularly are not on the bottom of the ladder

Winning generates $$$’s

yes, like i said - the afl don't care about crowds during the regular season, outside of bragging rights

Yes i agree. But the Clubs care about crowds, gotta pay the bills

If we can replicate what we did last Sunday on a regular basis, then the Crowds will watch…and teams like Jeeelong might just want to play us more often at The MCG

the biggest surprise crowd for me was the 2018 one at the g vs gw$

37k and every one a dee, crowd going absolutely mental as we salivated for the return finals footy

generally speaking i'd say we have 16-22k rusted on fans who turn up pretty much no matter what

anything over 25k is a pretty strong representation for us

Is that right a double header ar Marvel on Sat 24th.!!!!!!!

The Dogs are playing high quality, effective, quick footy and will trouble the Cats tonight, but taxpayer park is a tough place to win.

Bailey Smith is two things: a gun and a w-anchor. However the Dogs decide to handle him tonight, I hope it messes with his ugly ubiquitous head and he has a shocker.

Dogs by 16 points.


So Bailey made the comment the other week about the dogss crowd at Ballarat but I'd say the dogs have the last laugh because they get pretty good crowds at marvel & Bailey plays at a stadium that can't even fill the 40,000 each match

are the dogs players that worried about the [censored] Smith leaving?

dead set [censored]. i’d be happy to be rid of him

Doubt he’ll get roughed up

Just win the game and help push the Cats out of the 8

Good to hear from you lately Jaded.

We always get forced to play there on some crowd number financial technicality.

I hate that venue except for the glorious 21 comeback we made there.

So apart from my ingrained dislike of the cats,yep may Bont rip it up.

My brother in law is a cats fan. I usually just send him a nice photo of Max when we play them.

That's all it takes to wind him up.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
