Redleg
in Melbourne Demons

I am only naming them after the event. We are a cursed club. It has to change. No club in history has had to contend with what this club has been dealt this year.

Not sure that Fitzroy fans would agree with you Redleg.

They got dealt some pretty crappy hands in their last two years.

    On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

    How could I have forgotten the Captain- Jack Grimes.

    Agreed. Didn't help that the AFL was dealing most of those cards from the bottom of the pack........

    I am not certain on wyl, you may well be right of course he may be going to both.

    If you are trying to bait me DC it works every time with N0.7

    I am going to the Brisbane game with my brother who is a Gabba Member so we get to eat and sit among the upper crust of Brisbane.

    It will not look very good to be seen lying on the floor in a fetal position crying.

    So please No.7 at Casey this weekend.

    PS Once again I forgot to use chrome!

    Still think he could make it. I would play him in the FP this week in place of Flash. I would tell him if he doesn't apply a strong forward press he has no future at the club. Think that would stir him up.

    I hope you're right redleg. he does have a lot of good features but so far i tend towards od's pov (though not as strongly)

    I doubt there is anything that would stir him up, you cannot pull up your socks if you do not have any on Redleg

    Threat of delisting may work wonders.

    Every time I see Lewis Jetta play I feel sick, thinking how we could have had him as a rookie, after Neville's mum told us about him.

    Surely not Daisy . He has never been a fan of the youth policy to my knowledge.

    I trust that he is not involved in the drug trade either-unless as a customer.

    Other than that-you would have to wear a "Kim Bradley won in Vegas " T-shirt to get locked up there surely?

    I heard that Lewis shadowed Keiran Jack all pre season - has bought his fitness to elite levels.

    I can't help but wonder which of our underperforming players - JB, Morts etc would lift to a surprising level given the same chance.

    That is a cultural thing and Neeld and Craig are attempting to change ours. Near enough is not good enough.

    Sorry Redleg no amount of fitness will cover a lack of skill and desire.

    Back to WA for me.

    Lets face it we are third last on the ladder 5 years into a rebuild.

    We must have a number of players that are not AFL standard.

    No. 7 is not on his own but in 9 weeks time 5-6 players should be for the high jump.

    IMHO no7 is in the lead group

    No, it was aimed at some of the ridiculous ideas on here lately.

    I'm waiting for the first thread suggesting we could look at Connors.

    • 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.
