Is This a Penguin Finals Preview ? | Devils vs Box Hill Preview | DEVILS DEN

After a performance so brutal against the Lions that we couldn't even bring ourselves to record a review video, the boys are licking their wounds and looking ahead. The fixture certainly doesn’t get any easier as the 5th-placed Devils head up to the Northwest to take on the 4th-placed, red-hot Box Hill Hawks in a massive top-five clash! We are absolutely pumped to be playing at Dial Park in Penguin for the Tasmania Football Club's only game in the Northwest this year. The Northwesterners are sports mad, and we expect a massive, packed-out crowd to bring the noise.In this episode, we unpack:<ul><li>The Brisbane Reality Check: Breaking down the staggering -52 mark differential (121 to 69) and how coming up against 11 full-time AFL-listed players served as a massive learning opportunity for our part-time squad. </li><li>Scouting the Hawks: Why Box Hill are the kings of the close game (winning 4 out of 6 games decided by less than two goals) and the massive threat posed by ball-magnets Sam Butler and Henry Husthwaite. </li><li>The bets.com.au Player to Watch: Welcoming back the "King of the North" Brad Cox Goodyear. Why his big-bodied midfield grunt, cool head, and experienced footy brain are exactly what we need to steady the ship under pressure. </li><li>Lift Them Up: Fred hands out a "bum pat" to an absolute jet of a bloke, Sam Siggins. We break down why we need him to bust his guts, throw his body around, and potentially swap roles with Hugh Dixon to get his hands back on the footy. </li><li>Devil's Den EXCLUSIVES & Rumours: We reveal the jumper numbers for our new pieces, with Aiden Begg taking over Max Mapley's #38 and Patrick Walker stepping into Jaxon Artemis's #24. Plus, hot rumours that Begg might suit up for a two-ruck system this very weekend! </li><li>The Hunt for the AFL Coach: Nathan Buckley has had his first formal interview, with Ken Hinkley and John Longmire closely linked. JD and Fred debate who fits the Tasmanian culture best—do we want Longmire's quiet composure, Buckley's star power, or Hinkley's bit of "rat bag" passion? </li><li>Match Predictions: Fred is backing a 9-point bounce-back win with a massive "Air Leary" masterclass, while JD fears the Hawks' AFL-depth might be too much to overcome. ⏱️ CHAPTERS</li></ul><ul><li>00:00 - Welcome to the Den: Licking our wounds after a rough Friday night </li><li>01:48 - Round 15 Match Overview: Taking the Devils to Dial Park in Penguin </li><li>03:09 - Analyzing Box Hill: The Kings of the close game & structural execution </li><li>04:44 - Stemming the bleeding: Chasing the corridor run and matching senior intensity </li><li>06:49 - The Mark Deficit: Why the 121 to 69 stat line killed us against Brisbane </li><li>07:45 - Part-Time vs. Full-Time: Giving the boys a pass on a brutal 5-day turnaround </li><li>08:50 - Opposition Threats: Can we stop Sam Butler and Henry Husthwaite? </li><li>10:26 - The Tasmanian Hawks Invasion: Bizarre scheduling at UTAS Stadium </li><li>12:33 - bets.com.au Player to Watch: The return of the King of the North, Brad Cox Goodyear </li><li>16:37 - "Lift Them Up" Segment: Why Sam Siggins needs a big response this week </li><li>20:15 - Devil's Den Exclusive: Aiden Begg (#38) and Patrick Walker (#24) number reveal </li><li>21:47 - Selection Rumours: Will Aiden Begg suit up and unleash a two-ruck system? </li><li>23:03 - Coach Hunt: Nathan Buckley, John Longmire, and Ken Hinkley interview updates </li><li>24:16 - The Premiership Myth: Defending Ken Hinkley's record and coaching style </li><li>27:01 - Final Tips & Predictions: A 9-point thriller or a 20-point Hawks victory? </li><li>28:41 - Help us hit 200 subs & Wrap Up </li></ul>🎯 HELP US HIT 200 SUBSCRIBERS!We are still sitting a little bit below our major milestone of hitting 200 subscribers by our upcoming game against the Gold Coast Suns. 🤝 SPONSORThank you to our sponsor, bets.com.au, for all your betting advice, tips, and sports news articles.

PREMIERS IN TROUBLE? Time for a Devils Demolition! | Devils vs Brisbane Preview | DEVILS DEN

After massive, statement-making wins over AFL-aligned giants North Melbourne and Richmond, the Tasmania Devils are flying high. But can we keep this brutal competition dominance alive when we head north to face last year’s AFL Premiers? In this episode of The Ants Nest, JD and Freddy break down the upcoming clash against the Brisbane Lions VFL side at Brighton Homes Arena. The Lions are languishing at 22nd on the ladder, struggling for depth, and fluffing around with the footy—but with a brutal 5-day break and a massive Tassie-to-Brisbane temperature shock on the cards, is this a classic trap game for the boys? In this episode:<ul><li>📊 The Opposition Breakdown: Why the stats show Brisbane's star-heavy AFL strategy has left their depth utterly exposed. </li><li>👀 Player to Watch: Bailey Boag is back from local footy with an absolute fire lit under him. Can he crack the MVP votes this week? </li><li>🤝 Lift ’em Up: The boys put a big arm around Archie Wilkinson to help him strip it back to basics and find his rhythm again. </li><li>📰 Major Team News: Welcoming lightning-fast mid-season draft pick Aiden Begg (the next Luke Jackson?!) and elite kicking machine Patrick Walker to the squad. </li><li>🎟️ Membership Madness: Seated memberships sold out in under two hours! </li><li>🔮 Bold Predictions: Will Freddie's 29-point margin hold up, or will JD's massive 15-clearance prediction for Leary and Bogue come true? </li></ul>🚀 HELP US HIT 200 SUBSCRIBERS! 🚀We have a massive goal to hit 200 subscribers by the time we take on the Gold Coast.
