    Other than the fact I'd cry if we won this week.

    I'd have Robbo in the back pocket instead of Jones and Jones running the messages.

    After Hearing Cameron Schwabb & the great Dean Bailey speak on the radio this morning.

    I doubt we will slip up against the kangaroos, but yes that could be the side that plays the shockers..Business as usual this week.

    There will be more experimentations to come.

    If North plays like they did against Carlton, and we don't do anything stupid, there shouldn't be any problem. Hopefully North plays a lot better than Richmond and lead from start to finish so that there isn't as much of a need to tank.

    I would put dean bailey on the injury list and sub michael Newton in as head coach

    Yes, your opening sentence doesn't make sense. ;)

    Furthermore to your post Titan. There wouldn't be a tag on Brent Harvey this week, would there?

    I thought that last week DB was trying to give the tigers a good head start so as we could then play a game plan without so much blatent experimentation (similar to the Sydney game). Only problem was that the tigers were simply not good enough to kick 3 or 4 quick goals. Hopefully we don't draw North down to the same standard as us like we have against Port, Sydney and Richmond over the last month and they are able to take advantage of the situation.

    Schwab and DB have made it very clear to the entire football world that they are going to continue "list management and experimentation" for the remainder of the season and Demetrou has backed DB to do this. We should be home free.

    If we UNFORTUNATELY win the next two, then we will HAVE to finish last to get that 1st pick. But I hope we don't find ourselves in that position!!!!

    Even if we win this week, Freo can still beat us in rd 20. If Pav and Sandilands dominate, they'll beat us.

    Only if they get selected to play... <_<

    But we won't win if we fly to WA and try to play Freo this weekend, will we? :lol:

    This first sentence is a carry on from the thread title.

    Not rocket science.

    If we ever want to lose, why would we play Newton & Miller anywhere else other than FF & CHF? Anybody else we play there (Warnock, Frawley) could only be an improvement. And why would we play PJ anywhere other than ruck changing in BP?

    If we have miller and juice for the entire match in our forward 50 we won't need to worry about who's in-who's out -where they play, and no one will accuse us for tanking.

    We're crap, but come on BBP...

    Give us a little credit.

    Lose to Freo? At the G?

    Some people...

    We turned up at HT last year 50 points down and still beat them. It was like the Stawell Gift - gave them a head start and they still lost.

    If we win this Sunday it's done...

    Freo have had the wood on us since 1995.

    Freo have won 4 of the last 6 games at the MCG against us.

    Freo beat Carlton away from Subi this year.

    We're both rubbish footy clubs so I can't see how you can say one team will spank the other.

    People seem to not consider the fact that we "were 50 points down at half time". Pretty sure we were trying in teh first half as well.

    And what were they doing in the second half...

    Freo are awful, it is at the G, we will win.

    No, we should win. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I think we will win, but I don't think it's as certain as most would believe.

    Freo had 7 or 8 senior players in that game who have since retired or moved on i.e. Peter Bell, Matthew Carr, Josh Carr, McManus, etc.. They're a much younger outfit now, so I think we'll still be odds on to win unless we lose more players through injury this week...

    Hopefully North put in a more 'honest' performance than the tiges... :unsure:

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
