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!'

its bad enough not beating any team for 9 years, but North? Such an average boring club

This is the hoodoo ill take most joy in ending

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".

North are brittle, like 'little boy' chalk

the Dees and young Viney, will teach them a lesson, getting into them like Mrs Marsh's liquids...

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

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
