I think we'll be in a much better position to predict the remaining games after Sunday.

Sunday (Round 13) will be the first time since Round 5 (Saints) that we won't be playing a top 8 team and should get a sense of the extend they have learnt the new game plan and applying it under pressure for four quarters.

Round 6 - Geelong - Reigning premier - currently 7th

Round 7 - Hawthorn - 2008 Premier - currently 5th

Round 8 - Sydney - Currently 4th

Round 9 - Carlton - wanna be contenders - currently 9th

Round 10 - Essendon - ditto Carlton - currently 6th AND we won

Round 11 - Collingwood - 2010 Premier - currently 3rd

Round 13 - GWS - currently 17th

Round 14 - Brissie - currently 15th

Etc...

 

I tipped 5 wins for the 1st half, and I find myself doing the same now. Hope I'm as much out the other way this time.

On one hand I look at the fixture and think to myself that there is an option there to win almost every game, maybe save just the Adelaide one.

On the other hand, I think about how bad we have been at times this year, and think to myself that we can feasibly lose all these games.

Our best chance is surely Gold Coast at the G, more so than GWS this week because I feel like GWS is gelling as a team really well, whereas GC is falling apart.

Non-development team games, I think our best bets are North, St Kilda and Fremantle at Etihad.

I don't think we'll beat anyone except GWS and GC, but I didn't think we'd beat Essendon.

  • 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.

  • 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.
