I'm guessing no one suspected that the Roos would beat Geelong.

It was a gutsy win by the Roos. I liked the game of Warren and Goldstein.

More importantly, if we get through tonight, we'll play the Roos and not Geelong.

Surely our chances of advancing further look a lot better without the cats in the draw.

Thoughts?

    We haven't even played yet.

    While it's great to know that a win means we get to play North in Melbourne (albeit at the craphole that is Etihad), I think we should wait to see how we go tonight.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we lost to be honest.

    North looked really good. The Saints pressure pressure pressure game plan. Warren had a good game considering in the 3rd he was off the ground with a knock the the "midsection" spewing.

    Love watching footy at Etihad, and they will be commencing a resurfacing ground as of tonight if I read correctly.

    I know this sounds stupid, but we'd probably have a better chance of beating Geelong than North - who clearly have the wood on us. I don't know what is about North Melbourne but they've been spanking us since 2007.

    As per Jaded - we haven't even played yet. We haven't returned to Tullamarine airport with a win since 2006. Let's speculate after tonight's game

    Brad Scott's done a good job with that group. Nice bunch of youngers (Ziebell, Anthony, Goldstein, Greenwood, Warren, Campbell).

    Hes been there all of 5 mins as well, and already has a very young group of guys playing the way he wants.

    North were fantastic yesterday, will provide plenty of hope for their supporters and reasons for them to put their hands in their pockets and purchase memberships.

    I would not be putting their name up in lights after one game in February.

    Scott has inherited a list with a good mix of senior and junior players with generally a good leadership group. I am not sure where their improvement over the season will come with Simpson retiring, Harvey in his twilight and still having midfield issues.

    Are they the same supporters that dont turn up to matches? North are just as big if not bigger financial basket case than MFC.

    • 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.
