Just to follow up on and old topic 7 weeks, we still have a lot to acheive in 3 weeks

Off field

FOJ sponser still needed

Our Membership has stalled we are a little under 14,000 members away from our target of 40,000

On Field

2 more NAB cup matches good win last week, the Hawks will be another good test. Hopefully our last match is at Casey Fields.

We have seen a different style in the first 2 weeks, we will only get better, this week you expect to see our team almost at full strength. Hopefully we see Moloney, Clark, Rivers, Bartram, Trengove this week.

It is funny how your opinion can change over 4 weeks, we have got more than we expected on Field with new players getting us excited. Off Field the FOJ will happen but the 40,000 target looks a long way off

    I don't actually believe we will se the our team almost at full strength this week. The whole pre-season has been about load management and i don't see any change to that this week. I believe the last NAB round wherever it is played will be where we might pick a team close to our best.

    Don't be surprised to see the likes of Magner, Couch, Frawley, Garland, Jamar et al rested this week.

    once the real season starts and we are five rounds into the home & away season. the NAB cup winners are long forgotten.

    FOJ sponsor is absolutely critical, I understand Cam wants to get the best deal for the club but we can't go into round 1 without this being filled, it will reflect extremely poorly on the club.

    Not if a big deal is close it won't. If there is no deal, then you are right.

    As much I'd like a Casey game in week 4, I reckon they'll send us far away as we would've already played 2 weeks at Etihad.

    Wagga?

    Actually, according to the fixture, the possible venues are:

    Etihad Stadium

    Simonds Stadium

    Blacktown International Sportspark

    AAMI Stadium

    Patersons Stadium

    Metricon Stadium

    Manuka Oval

    VISY Park

    No mention of the MCG there!

    Must be a printing oversight...Blacktown International Sportspark. Hahaha! That's a bit of a stretch!

    No, I think that list is for the teams not playing in the GF.

    Also maybe the MCG has rights for cricket all the way up until round 1, with the cricket pitches in there atm, that is why it isnt being used yet.

    Although the Tri series final is in a few days, so cricket will be over yeah??? no more games for a while if i recall correctly

    Still a possible shield final option.

    Looks very unlikely the Vics will finish top but that may be a consideration.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
