Now this dreadful season is over for us,there's one strong point of interest for me. I really hope the Mudpies go out in straight sets!

I can't stand Hawthorn, and hate the fact that they'll overtake us in Flags(have they already?) if they win, but I'd prefer them to Collingwood.

The thing that allays my fear slightly is that I think any team in the eight can beat Collingwood. Especially Haw, Adelaide, Freo and WCE.

But I fear that they might strike form and do better than people expect. You can be sure they'll get the better of the umpiring decisions due to the hysterical screaming from their fans(refer back to the St K and Ess wins to see the effect of the fans on the umps)

I hope they put Dawes back in, since I consider they're playing one short with him.

Wouldn't it be awful if Pendles did a hammy! How come he never gets injured.....he looks pretty skinny!

I know someone will post that they hope to see them lose by a point in the GF, but I want them OUT as soon as possible!

    Would rather they win than WCE, Freo or Adelaide.

    Must be the ageing process but I don't hate the Pies to quite the same amount that I did before Adelaide entered the league.

    I'd barrack whole-heatedly for Adelaide, WCE ,Sydney or Freo against Collingwood in a GF or any game!

    It was 1958 that did it to me. I know I should move on but I won't!

    The best club in the competition IMO

    Down years are rare, play it hard and tough

    Win way more than they lose over time.

    Every thing I wish the MFC were but sadly are not.

    Yes. John kennedy learnt his trade from Norm Smith.

    Time we learnt from them.

    • 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.
