Not even close. 50 I could accept as right. 30ish is too high. For now. If he plays another season like last or hopefully even better then sure.

I thought it was good credit. He is a gun.

Gone a bit early I think.

I dunno... I really don't think there's that much between him and Wentz. As I've said before, he's even better than Wentz at certain things... And Wentz will be top 2 in this you'd think.

Rams sign cooks for another 5 years after this season, saying Donald will hopefully be done before camp, if not soon.

How did everyone's first preseason game go? Not so great for the Niners. Had a win but also had about 5 injuries :(

Eagles got smahed, but noone really cares. Found a backup for the backup in Sudfeld. I feel like he'll be pressed into service. Actually looks like he has the goods to be a good backup, if not a superstar starter. First team D did their thing then went off. Not much to see here really...

Probably the biggest thing we saw was the enormous 81 yard punt by an ex-demon, Cam Johnston, who looks like he'll be the punter for the season.

Gee no talk about that whatsoever! Remember when being an Aussie punter was a big deal! ?

Sav, Graham, Bennett... It's old news.

Come on @Gorgoroth @Macca get around it!!!

Quick poll: Will Des Bryant be on a new team before the start of the season?

I'll say yes with the Browns being a possible landing spot (at least in terms of the $$$'s!)

Whilst I'm here I'm assuming we keep the tipping comp going again if we've got enough starters ... for those uninitiated the comp involves nominating  3 road teams to win in any given week with 3 picks.  I point on offer every time you get it right and we have a number of bonus point weeks.  More details later.

Of course he will. Will he do anything? Now THAT'S the question.

I say yes just before the last pre season game. Was thinking Steelers early but the Browns do loom as the obvious destination for cash money.

Im also certain he’ll continue to shoot his mouth off about the ‘boys for weeks to come.

It's going to be another great season Dappa ... I'm hoping that our Demons can at least play a final or 2 as a nice lead-in/crossover so here's hoping. 

Packers don't get to play the Champs which is a bit of a shame as I'd like to see how we measure up against the Eagles but maybe in the playoffs?  We do meet a number of teams that the contributors to this thread follow though ... vs 49ers,  Bears & Vikings twice of course,  @ Rams,  vs Atlanta but not the Jags.

Bring it on!

Oh man. Imagine a Browns/Boys match. Not gonna happen cos they're opposite conferences...

Probably for the best for Dez. If he's ever gonna return to his best, I daresay it's not gonna be in the NFC.

Yeah I’d say so. The Cowboys really did get the best of him, the guy can’t seem to get any separation anymore.

You couldn't write a better script mate!

@Gorg with his Rams. You with your Pack. Me with my Champs. We may never enjoy this kind of relevance ever again.

Your matchups are exactly right though. I can't wait to watch my Eagles, obviously, but a very close second are the Rams... I'm a Gurley lover... And Aaron and his Pack will never disappoint. Next is the Texans for me. Big Ben, AB and their shrinking wasteland, the GOAT and Belly... It's gonna be a theatrical year. The PERFECT antidote to the worst of all disappointing demons years.

I'm pumped.

Well we're all demons here so I'll go out on a limb and say we will play finals after defeating GWS in round 23.  I believe the best way to overcome adversity is to keep challenging yourself when the results don't go your way - eventually,  by persevering,  you will win.  You never give up. 

With regards to the Packers,  I always thank my lucky stars that I'm lucky enough to follow a professionally run team with a gun QB.  Just don't get injured Aaron!

Jeeezus.... When you hear Jesse got hurt, after Eagles last season, you have a whisper of a hope. If Foles can do it? Weed can do it surely... (and win a Norm Smith)?

Then reality hits and I find myself praying we can beat the Eagles like we did last year. Tmac, with no Jesse, and then somehow, impossibly, they give us SOME joy.

I still have hope. After all, noone had less reason for hope than Eagles fans after Wentz (Hogan) got hurt. And if they can do it in the richest league in the world, they can do it in the AFL. (Or at least, make finals).

 But never mind the red and the blue. Let's enjoy some of that strange... We are on for one of the more exciting NFL seasons in demonland history. When was the last time we had storied franchises in the NFC making history? Rodgers making his glorious return, Wentz, Dak, Goff, Garroppolo, Ryan, Newton, Stafford, Cousins, Eli (I know you love him Macca), Wilson, Winston, Smith, Trubiski, Bradford/Rosen... oh and there's that matter of Brees....

That's it. I mean. That's 16 SERIOUS QBs. The closest thing I can find to a QB storyline that isn't interesting is the Cards Bradford/Rosen situation. Which sounds suspiciously close to the Eagles situation 24 months ago,..

This is gonna be a good year boys.

The NFC is where it’s at, AFC has a few teams but compared to NFC it’s a boring division.

Cant wait for the games to start.

no5 fussed on ore season games, McVay has already stated that we may not even play our starters, Gurley participated in 6 snaps last year in the pre season. Kelly played well in our game and might be the 3rd down RB we need to give Gurley a break, but if he works well I hope they line both up from time to time.

All about the NFC no doubt about that! Always has been really ?

  • 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.
