Can we beat them? Yes.

Will we beat them? Extremely doubtful.

Will we take it to them? I think so.

Spot on Pates, and this is how EVERY demon fan should feel.

    Of course we can win, if we score more than them we win, pretty simple really

    :blink: against Geelong its not that simple.

    I would take a 6 goal or less loss as a victory.

    Seriously, we can't win.

    So we simply put the cue in the rack do we? Like your confidence <_< ....not.

    What she said.

    Ditto. I hope the boys "stick it right up you"

    Can't and Won't are two different things. The question wasn't "will we win"

    Correct.

    So against Geelong, you can score more than they score, and still lose? Tough comp.

    45hotgod, I agree with this and its an obvious conclusion to come to, hence the.... :blink: , I'm just commenting that its not that simple against a Geelong outfit. ;)

    So there was no need for me to respond to this....but technically speaking you can have more 'scoring shots' and still lose. :)

    After 118 votes, its 37:63 in favour of the [censored] Cats. Dees are at $13 to win.

    I've already donated to Debt Demolition. And what I'll do is put $50 on the Dees to win Head to Head at $13. The winnings will go to Debt Demolition if they win. If they don't win, I'll put another $50 in anway!

    A little incentive for the Boys to win - not that they'll need it or will be thinking about it when they take the field.

    Go Dees!

    If you ask a simpe question, you'll get a simple answer

    I never said the process of beating Geelong will be simple, and for this Melbourne team tomorrow night probably nigh-on impossible, but the maths in whether we can beat Geelong is as simple as anything.

    And i never said, if we have more scoring shots, i said if we score more.

    The problem is that this is a simple conversation that's being overly complicated.

    We CAN win, of course we can.

    We probably WON'T win, but that shouldn't really be spoken about in this thread because that doesn't answer the question

    You can talk we had a 50:85 split. 135 votes, 2 pages of comment. The boys were smashed by Geelong, simple. Don't know how you can refer to a Melbourne supporter and long time member as a tool, when he's supporting his team.

    Obviously you're not supportive of your team through hard times. You muppet.

    HT, you're probably better off ignoring idiotic comments like that, as they clearly carry no weight.

    But may I suggest next time if you do a poll like this, make the question "will Melbourne beat..."

    Much of this thread has revolved around the difference between can and will

    I just voted yes...because I believe that one day we will! Could be awhile though, the Cats are as red hot a side as I've ever seen.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
