    It will be a tough ask for us, flying all the way across Australia to Hobart.

    I see your John McEnroe thread disappeared picket. Gave me a hearty laugh. No one can accuse you of not being passionate!

    What has grasping his joystick got to do with flying?

    Due to our players being subjected to such a southern latitude at this time of year,they suffered a decrease of the full light spectrum required by the hypothalamus to regulate the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems.

    Now there is a fair excuse. Would playing in ugg boots offset that?

    Overseas travel is taxing, isn't it?

    All that medical stuff above is appropriate. I'm still sans desert boots and the old in between toes fungal infection is playing up again. FMD, I try to lead a moral life but circumstances ... and events ... continually conspire to [censored] me up.

    And .. as if matters could get worse my GP is pressuring me to undergo a rather ... err ..invasive shall we say test ...

    FMD - It's enough to drive me to drink.

    I believe you wouldn't be so bold as to make a veiled reference to what I heard referred to on that television program of high culture -RBT - as the sacred herb, would you Mr Leg?

    Mr Leg I am very worried about you.

    Your cynicism is beginnning to tell a sad story.

    I have look to you through a lot of bad times for encouragement.

    This seems sadly missing in 2016.

    Please dont tell me you are about to leave the fold.

    I could not go on without you.

    • 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.
