The Moment Jimmy Stynes Handed his No. 37 Guernsey to Junior McDonald I believe we said Goodbye to the Wooden Spoon & the Priority Pick.

At The Start of the year I stated that i Hated the Idea of "Tanking" Still Do BUT after reading up on the GC17 Situation & how they will Rape & Pillage Talent for years to come, i was prepared to suck in some pain this year for the long term beterment. It still may happen but i doubt it. That No. 37 represents too much to the players who are playing NOW-not the kids of next year.

I can only see us winning one game if half our side is rested playing for casey. That i doubt will happen.

The No. 37 means too much.....

    I can tell you one thing that's pretty well a certainity. Jim Stynes will make RR and Hannabal look tame in comparison to his reaction if this team wins more than 4 games. The only reason I remain confident of only winning 4 games is that Jim is in charge.

    It will suck to not get Scully.

    But we will win 7 games, as we will smash Freo, Richmond and North.

    Well we will have to wait till thursday team selection to find out, But i agree with Y.M. on this one. I think we could easily win 7 games all up if the team is allowed to play.

    Lets Remember one thing.

    The Guys Playing the Midfield now may not Particularly WANT a new Young Midfielder to compete with for a spot, so quite a few players are going to play well if they are selected, to save their own Bank Balance.

    I don't think team selection against Geelong matters

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
