The last time we beat Geelong it was a windy, cold Friday night at the MCG. Melbourne also went into the game without a recognised key forward.

I doubt we'll get within 5 goals, but an interesting comparison.

    Anybody remember back in 2005 or 2006 when we played Geelong on a Friday night and pumped them?

    Brent Moloney had just crossed over from Geelong to the Demons and he hip-and-shouldered Jimmy Bartel and basically knocked him out.

    I think we won by nearly 10 goals too!

    Ahhh the memories... ^_^

    You never know...the Demons could have a surprise upset win against the Cats tonight!? Yes I'm dreamin' I know! :P

    Haha I went with three other cats supporters to that game, from memory it was the 3rd round of 2005 and we gave them a bath, it was when Bruce was brownlow favourite and polled 8 out of the first 9 votes available.

    The funny thing about that Bartel bump was that Moloney didn't actually touch Bartel, he just went down, and Moloney got done for two weeks!! When else has not touching a player (racial vilification excepted) resulted in a suspension?

    the tribunal ruled that in attempted to hip and shoulder, moloney was responsible for bartels injury (he knocked himself out when he hit his head on the ground), because bartel had to try and avoid contact.

    basically it was typical afl kick the mfc [censored].

    • 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.
