    I remember John Meesen "training the house down" and not being seen for another year and a half.

    I remember Frawley "training the house down" last summer and then being clearly seen for the entire season.

    I'd be jumping straight on the wagon for a huge tilt at the B&F! I thought he should have polled a little better this year, and obviously some indescretions didn't help, but he'll be a big chance in 2010!

    Everybody, on every team, trains the house down at this time of year.

    Except for A. Lovett at St. Kilda.

    Unless you're injured, which Col usually is in the pre-season, so it's a positive even if boohoo brigade don't think so. The fact that he's been highlighted is training well is a bonus, especially after the talent he's shown this year and the new found focus.

    AAAhh that news makes my heart sing!!

    Col has a special place in my heart - loved him since he arrived and was getting concerned that we would never see the full extent of his talents. This year, however, we saw a lot of what I have been waiting for yet I still imagine he has a few tricks up his sleeve he has yet to share with us. They will be revealed very soon I feel.

    If he stays fit, focused and out of trouble, we could not only see a tilt at the B & F but at the Brownlow as well!!!!!!!!

    • 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.
