And just as I was starting to think the MFC is full on Nancy boys who need their Mums.

Someone stands up and does something that makes me proud to be a supporter.

    Excellent role model behaviour for young Hogan. I hope we can see them operating up forward together.

    Unfortunately Dockett 32 I think you are going to see Hogan play quite a few games before it happens.

    After the last couple of weeks and considering St Kilda's potential side for the first game I have a strange feeling.

    I actually feel confident we can win this game.

    Now it may all come tumbling down if the Hawks hand out the usual thrashing on the weekend.

    But it is a strange feeling.

    It is actually so long ago since I had this feeling I cannot remember when it was.

    I suspect early in 2011.

    I can handle the feeling Just please let it be the real thing on Saturday evening 22nd March.

    I am worried about injuries, as we never ever seem to have anything like our best list available at the start of a season and I don't want to add to that.

    The team for this weekend will tell us more Redleg.

    I think you can count out Clark, Tapscott, Jamar but the last two are no big loss and Clark has played so infrequently and made no contribution so far in 2014 that I don't think about him.

    Aside from Dawes and Viney the others I don't see as any more than fill in players.

    IMO two weeks out I think we will have a good team in that should be able to account for the saints.

    Good point Redleg

    Now if she can keep the injury list and banana prices low we are half way home.

    He is the Reverend because of his contacts with her upstairs R & B.

    I am sure the message will have been passed on by now.

    Interesting article on the MFC site Redleg on injuries, I would put up a link if I knew how!

    Some time ago my father told me that donkeys never get injured but fast horses do regularly.

    I see Pedersen will be back for the hawthorn game.

    From the article "“Mitch is tracking through his rehab and he’s going pretty well. He’s just ticking off his running sessions."

    What does that mean?

    I have no idea when he will be back?

    Yes bb

    interesting to see this description "Small utility Luke Tapscott"

    I have always wondered what his position

    was, it seems the MFC are not sure either.

    Small as in Sherman v T34 !! Lol

    I Agree but in spite of my best efforts to understand the upgrading process Redleg the MFC never ceases to catch me out.

    e.g. last year they upgraded Magner and then never played him.

    So I will believe it when it happens

    • 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.
