IT: Almost seems like we were dragged into "The Demons" against our Wills, but feel more at home in the garden trimming the Fuscias.

As soon as we lose the drivers of that Bus, that keep us as "Demons" the default personality of the cricket club returns & with some comfort. northern comfort

How do we? KEEP the Demon spirit burning in our footballers, whilst they're playing days are alive, before they turn to the Green, Green, pastures of the business garden...???

    So you opened the Christmas scotch early this year?

    HaHa, good Idea, I haven't had a christmas tipple yet.

    the post, is about now we are finally heading towards a "Hard at it Style" no backward steps & 'hardest team to play against', I would really love it to see our supporters hold this culture up high & not ever let it slip back to fuscia pruning again.

    After we finally build this Hard team & game style, lets maintain the rage.

    I would add unity to that too. We need to be more "one eyed" I believe and stick together while sticking up for our club.

    Rage and unity.

    Has a nice ring to it.

    Maybe more inspiring than "First and Forever" there could have been something like:

    "Melbourne Unity. Demon Rage."

    Demons.

    And we're not "Dees", either. "Dees" are nice, comfortable, safe and unthreatening.

    Ban the "Dee" word.

    We're Demons. On and off the field.

    BAY-13

    Should we have a supporters reserve, in the Devlish Bay 13,,, or not ?

    especially for any Friday the 13th night game?

    I have to disagree

    I have never known Dees to be nice Comfortable safe and unthreatening

    It does fit well with GO Dees which can be yelled in a variety of rythms and is a compacted aggressive sound

    it also can be expressed easily with a number of mouth positions, clenched teeth, subdued whisper, and emphasis can be placed on the first or second word for emphasis changing the context. While DEmons can be similarly used it is only with the emphasis on the two syllabyls(?? spelling) that can alter the feeling.

    I would never propose abolition of Demons as it also so evocative and redolent of the history and glory and even the hell of promise and despair that I have experienced. I hope to use both as we storm to success and hope you can compromise and join me as we recognise that we are indeed DEMONS and THE DEMONS as we go

    Go Dees!!!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
