    no jamar ? did I miss something. Im not happy with this I know its the care factor cup but a winning culture breeds success and unlike previous years we have said we want to win yet with close to full strength we put in this tripe performance.

    This is what concerns me. I know it is only pre-season, but we have a near full strength side while Essendon have a lot of key players out. We also had a 2 week break compared to a 6 day turn around. Not a great sign in my eyes.

    Myers is going to be under investigation to the rape performed on Jack Watts tonight.

    Bombers lining up for goal after Warnock has a massive brain fade. This could seal it for the bombers.

    Ryder has scored

    Bombers by 21.

    Game over man, game over!!!

    Tough to listen to. But we just plain didn't want it. The Etihad curse continues...

    Plenty to like. More games into the kids. Trengove, Grimes, Sylvia, Jamar... some from the old, some from the new.

    Bombers wanted it more, and had it all worked out more too. Sucks for us, but not the end of the world.

    Davey the only injury worry?

    Don't think Watts is injured.

    Pretty poor considering the article about making a splash in the paper.

    Bail loses his feat and Winderlich kicks a goal to seal it for the bombers

    Time to hibernate until Round 1. Got a lot of work to do and for those that said top 4 four us, not gonna happen. Got our work cut out to mark top 8 in my opinion,

    What's with the constant switching into the middle of defensive 50 to a contest and the hanballing to players 1 meter away under pressure?

  • Quote

    Good news re: Davey. As for Melbourne players handballing to players under pressure, that is a bad habit we've been guilty of for years!

    Jurrah pulls down an awesome mark. Passes to Watts. Watts misses a supergoal

    Gee it didn't take long for the old MFCSS to kick in.

    I am new to this site, so that comment makes little sense. And even before tonight I though we were way of top 4 and not a certainty for finals. We are a young (and exciting) side, but we still have a lot of work to do as a team, especially in terms of development of young players. I am very much looking forward to season, and I only said hibernate as I have no interest in the NAB cup when Melbourne is out.

    Demons getting frustrated. Bombers from point blank. 30pt lead to Bombers

    Ok...weare not as good as the Media writes. Still much work to be done.

    Still February though, but i expect a Hard week on the track because Essendon are not that good (or was M Knights a Garbage Coach?)

    AFL website is saying the free kicks are something like 50-14 bombers favour.... that's wrong.. i hope?

    Then again, the last 20 minutes i've been listening we've lost the plot

    Just to enlighten you then.. MFCSS = MFC Supporter Syndrome. This is the belief that a loss equates to the footy equivalent of the end of the world. It most commonly manifests itself in the pre-season or early rounds.

    The response was to your initial post which didn't illuminate on your belief as to how you already thought we would perform... I for one, believe we are still a good chance to make the finals at the time of the year it 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.
