This is our most important match in a decade.

I'm sick of the fact that we have not won a game at Etihad in a decade...

Sick of the fact that we haven't beaten North in the same amount of time...

Sick of the fact that we don't win two in a row...

The time is now...

Like Richmond last week we need to make a stand...

Gut running, hard contested footy...

North will fold faster then Superman on laundry day...

Finally as a club we need to say... "Stuff there rest... we're here to be the best!'

    It's exactly that sort of attitude that's wrong with the club.

    I agree, this 'knowing where the match is being played' stuff has to stop now

    Wow, it has really been that long.

    I have vivid memories of games against North many years ago, as far back as the Daniher years, where everything seemed to be in our favour but somehow we just couldn't win.

    A lot of the time it came down to their 'really tall talls', who on the day would just be able to clunk marks and kick straight. It troubles me a little that we are still a bit light-on for genuinely tall defenders (unless Fitzpatrick or Oscar comes along very quickly).

    That said, the last time we beat them Nathan Thompson kicked seven, put them in front but then had to drag himself to the bench for a chunk of the final quarter, exhausted. As much as we won that game in the final minutes, I'm hoping this time we have something better than "wait until their key forward has worn himself out from kicking so many goals".

    Yeah we should be more like Hawthorn and not know where we're playing next week. Works for them.

    I'll meet you at bay 13 at Etihad! I'll bring the radio in case its not there.

    We play NM at the MCG.

    Sure, let's get positive: so then let's kill off two of the monkeys on our backs this week, (NM and successive wins) and the other the following week v Dogs at the Doglands.

    Would we have some happy campers then??

    gotta think of things 'that will get in' SWYL, into they're heads... irritating things they won't like. & do not think these things don't get back to who they are about. they do.

    the roos are soft, in the head, they are fragile, they are blue, & they crack, Mrs Marsh is just the tonic that will irritate any young hopping mad Roo.

    & her liquid does get in, see the add.

    I'd get more satisfaction beating North than Hawthorn

    I thought we started to get closer to them in our 2 games last year.

    • 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.
