Fingers crossed. The ruck is the key for North, whilst if we can win on the ground in the clearances and pepper away at the inside 50's and make the most of it...we could claim the 4 points. Plus another 2000 members by this time next week!

    Cant wait for the day to come along nothing like the start of a new season and new blood,

    taking my partner along a tiger supporter and she has joined the demon bandwagon with a membership and seat not bad for a 20 year tiger member

    Can not wait to jump off the train full of anticipation on the stroll to the G with excitment in the air. Wander off and have a couple of beers whilst walking round the G. Sit in the sun and scream myself silly in joy, frustration, at silly umpires and joy hopefully at a Dees great win.

    the rucks are irrelevent. so an over-rated aspect of our game. Hawks have the worst ruckmen going around and West coast have the best, yet one came 1st and one came 15th last year. 20 hitouts per game that dont go to advantage doesnt have much of an impact

    Hawks have the worst? Um, how about ours Freak? I'd take Campbell and Taylor/Renouf over Johnson and Jamar (from a hit out perspective). And surely Carlton's in the running too?

    When your midfield contains the likes of Mitchell, Ablett and/or Judd, the rucking division becomes less important.

    When your midfield is one-dimensional, slow and generally struggles to win clearances, your ruckmen can be your most important asset.

    I am going to go the game with great optimism,......I am hoping our midfield stars, Bate and Miller get a few goals between them...then all the computer chair critics who regularly post negative posts (rather than constuctive criticism) will have to eat their words..............for a change after the last few years Melbourne enters a game with 22 fit players who have earned their spot......no reputations, no possie coz there is nobody else etc etc............otherwise we would have Newton and Sylvia up forward and Meesen doing the ruck work...........and couple of missing ingredients are back Rivers and McLean.......plus a couple of unknowns...........again I spoke to Bennell and Spencer this morning who really want to go out and give it everything.............and there is Neville Jetta and Flash (he so wants a big season)............

    Flying over to Melbourne on Thursday and will be at the big one next Saturday.... Would be nice to absolutely smash the Roos today and go in as favourites against that scumbag mob next week.....

    i'm lookin for a win too, i think we can do it, our side isn't too bad... the backline is quite strong and i have alot of confidence with our midfield, the forwards should do well with all eyes on miller after his stunning performances last year.

    we never get the 4 qtrs, good first half... crap 2nd half...

  • Quote

    Less than three hours to go and I'm looking forward to this game with great expectations.

    Not really confident (after all, the Roos did make the 8 last year) but I know that if we perform to our very best then we're a chance.

    Anyway, let the game begin, good luck to the débutantes and GO DEES!!!

    if green, macca and bruce have a good day.

    if our defense holds up

    and if one of bate, miller or green kick multiples, we will be hard to beat IMO

    GOOOOOOOOOO DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Quote

    I reckon we'll earn a lot of respect from the football world if we are competitive ALL day - even if we just lose.

    One game wont earn you respect. Try a couple of years of good performances

  • Quote

    I would love to see players like miller and davey have good games, we can win this!

    Go dees! Anyone at the game can we get an indicator of the crowd and anyone in the mcc how busy is the mcc/mfc membership stand?

    If we get 2 "ifs" out of 3 at least we'll be very competitive and that ain't bad.

    Loving this

    Watching tha game on foxtel. Already there is a different feeling.

    Rivers is BACK. Cheney is a smart player. Spencer and Jones are the reason we are winning the clearances, even though thier kicking has been average.

    Frawley is a different player. I know thats a lot to take from a quarter of footy still I'm excited.

    • 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.
