Surprisingly, I'm with you Daisy. And I'm still confident about finals this year, despite the company that loves misery here

Though I detest talking football here... I'll go with state of mind.

Our BRAND.. style is being decimated with withdrawal due to non availability.

My mind is actually quite tempt.

I don't expect much. It's often just that. It's not being.. pessimistic...not mfcss...not anything really;  just realistic. We aren't complete.. We fumble through. We trip

Those who know me here..

A beer on whether we make finals or not ?

Takers ?

I like beer by the way ;)

    You'll deserve a rivet lager for winning that bet. I'm not in Aus so someone will have to do the honors :laugh:

    It's not anything I'd win with glee. But I'd drink  it none the less... Sorrows and all...

    I really wonder if you and WYL would actually enjoy sharing that beer Bub. Truly. Some on Land are fixated with the failures rather than the advancements we've made. That's the prevalent MFCSS. We are all disappointed at the losses, especially Sat night, but on the whole we still are a real chance at finals this year and certainly next year. Add Gaff or similar to a healthy list and there is much to look forward to. I am always optimistic about what we can do next week, next year. I hope. IMO what holds us back as a supporter base is the culture of negativity and the fall back into failure and blame. It's what I hear over and over from other footy following mates. You can choose to not expect much, or you can look forward to next week and be positive about what lies ahead. Let's enjoy the journey together, through the ups and the downs (nothing is perfect), but i honestly believe there will be more ups over the next 5 years.

    Rant over.

    There's reality...and false shadow s.

    If you or anyone for that matter would question my virility of the sort that is us winning...then go toss yourself wherever.

    I question false gospel. I call out those of the Koolaid brigade etc.

    I've been around the  block. I see nothing yet to get  all "moist " about.

    Knock yourself out

    Rant away Mr. shadow. Over the last decade plus I have agreed with your method however this year my faith has taken a severe battering. It just looks like the previous five decades. At the start of this year I thought we could make eighth place based on a small improvement over 2017. However this year we have IMO moved backwards. So far we have not beaten any team in the top eight. This is back wards from the same position last year. I envy your optimism.

    I am rapidly running out of decades MSF. In fact I have at best one left I have no time left for another regime change. It is by 2023 or never. Sadly it looks like another grand plan which falls short.

    Yes, the reality is we are in the 8 and a real chance at playing finals this year. That's a fact, not a shadow, a false gospel or getting all "moist". Some on here conveniently don't want to accept that we are as much a chance of finals as we are not. But if you wish to keep wallowing in your MFCSS then as you say, knock yourself out.

    I too have been around the block, have seen many false dawns, but no premiership. I'm realistic enough to see this list is in a good shape moving forward with a coach that is learning and growing with the team. 

    I think we can probably agree to disagree. I'll leave it at that for fear of going off banana topic.

    Go Dees!

    I like quite a number of fruits however bananas are close to the top. Sad part is my intake is now restricted so I have to limit the number of Banana and peanut butter sangos I consume. There is little to recommend the aging process.

    • 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?

      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.
