THE POWER TO WIN (not really)

Featured Replies

 

We are down to the business end of the Season, so I would be shattered with anything more than an honorable loss.

As such, I will be barracking for Freo and Richmond by Proxy for Melbourne this week.

 
Of course all Melbourne fc supporters would be rapt but if we win kiss Tom Scully bye bye not to mention another waste of a year.

You've got it in one...we need to "manage our list" just like the Weagles are doing

We need too rest some of our better players alah Cox,Kerr.


I would think "You bloody ripper - take that you swamp ape scum".

A win would be good for the younger players' general wellbeing, but we must not pass any other team, to move off the bottom of the ladder. ( Think draft picks. )

Lets lookout for continual development of the kids in our side.

Some of the oldies need to show a bit of leadership/skill in these sort of games.

In particular the ability to find a team mate by hand and/or foot has been lacking badly!!

Agree that Port Power are a side that need a lesson but in this game ???????

this is because of the stupid draft rules... i want to support my team, but realize that it is in the best interest of the club to lose this one

 

there not good enough to win, our only win for the rest of the season will be against that pathetic low life non achieving club called richmond, there lucky there got a train station, let alone a football club.

Cheering followed by singing, followed by victory doughnuts, follwed by the scared fact that if we then beat freo and the tigers bye bye scully.

Without Sylvia i don't think we will win. Port have picked a side to win. But i am in 2 camps on this one, watching Frank Grimes last Saturday, He wants to win. He wants to learn how to win so i would not begrudge the Team that.

Deep down i want those Draft Picks though. In the years to come we may well need that 1 & 2.

It is in the hands of the coaches box.....

very true !!! ;)

Ill be really scared if we win this one. This years draft is shallow, and next years is totally comprimised. We really need to get the priority pick this year.

Ill be happy when we win more games next year because we have an extra gun player.

If we win more than 4 this year then the year is a massive faliure. And don't give me that [censored] about 'we must have a winning culture'

No need to be worried. We wont be Port! They are throwing everything at us.

It will be a FANTSTIC competitive loss.. ( an actual competitive loss this time )

If we get smashed tommorrow i dont want to see one post from any of you that want us to lose about how pathetic we were. You have all forfeited that right.


Port by 1 in a thriller.

Morton, Jurrah, Jetta, Frawley, Grimes, Martin and Petterd all dominate.

What would your reaction be if we actually beat Port?

Y_M wont be watching the game due to the fact that Colin Sylvia wont be playing.

why do people think we will get pick 2? West coast wont win another game and fremantle might finish below us.

Because West Coast will win another game and Fremantle will finish higher than us...that is the obvious reason people think we will get pick 2.

West Coast perform at home. Proven fact.

Fremantle are probably worse than us. They're our main competition but I think Pavlich can kick them to a couple of wins at Subi.

I've been thinking about this all week. On the one hand it would be absolutley fantastic to win 2 in a row (first time since round 10-11 2007) and to destory an opponents finals hopes. Plus I know we have un-winnable games V Geelong and Sydney coming up week.

On the other hand I can't help but think we still have Freo and Richmond on hand.

Your thoughts guys!

I would love it - I hate Power with a passion even more than Collingwood - and especially Treadrea _ I can't stand him - I would think stuff everything we have won!!!

 

the dockers, eagles and richmond have been tanking for weeks and no has said jack about it, fact of the matter is, is that tanking I.E. "LIST MANAGEMENT" is something that every club would do in the situation that were in. Footy is a business and by winning games at the moment would be a business action that would get people fired in the business world. i do not care how painful it is to see our proud club lose but it has to be done for our future sustainability.

Goodboy Cale....

Jamar great start

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
