    Sorry but I disagree Benson. Essendon made an art out of the whatever it takes bibles of Sheedy and Hird. In 1990 consisted of unwarranted acts of thuggery against Collingwood players with playmaker Gavian brown being knocked unconscious.Similarly in 2000 Our teenaged Brad Green was pinioned then bashed in the throat causing him to be rushed to hospital. Snake was bashed with a low dangerous hit in that game as well. Scroll forward to the current era of whatever it takes with drug allegations and Andrew D's defence of 'scurrilous' claims against Essendon somehow trying to mediate the ASADA inquiry. Compare that with our half million dollar not guilty finding. I have no time for these born to rule clubs who abuse these codes of conduct just do they can rule over clubs like ours who are being held down by a biased system. At least we flew the flag against this club last year, and I salute the Melbournepkayers who took to the field that night against Essendon. Sorry for the iPhone typos but you get the message and I hope essendon get theirs.

    As a Bomber supporter we have been playing like this since the GWS game. Obviously against Geelong we didn't take our opportunies kicking 1.9 in the 3rd Q. If the GWS were more experienced and converted missed opportunies they might have beaten us. ATM we lack intensity at the start of the game and as others had pointed out we think we just need to turn up to win.

    Michael Voss is safe atm and he hasn't lost the players at all. Don't forget they were good against the WCE and could have won that game as well. Voss may still get the arse if they decide to go in another direction at the end of the season.

    If you think the Dees and Neeld are under pressure look at the Bulldogs they escape the media attention all the time.

    R U suggesting they let their guard down coming into the GWS game, which may have burst their Us v the World mentality?

    so now they can't reignite it, but the peptide inquiry pressure is still on them?

    Not to mention salary cap cheating from 92 to 96 yet the AFL didn't have the balls to take the 93 flag from them......

    Do you think the interviews have finally made his scandal really weigh on the playes minds?

    Not really. It's all about being prepared and according to Hird we trained like rubbish on Thursday.

    Does anyone know what is the half-life of peptides?

    Does anyone know what is the half-life of peptides?

    I think thats the point Mono, that they are largely untraceable at this point??? maybe except by import documentations & honest medical records. but if the accounts have 2 books, one written, & one white-Board,,, well?

    the stored blood tests may show something in 20 Years?

    • 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.
