Round Three Predictions

Being footy fans and keen Demonland posters, we all think we have at least a reasonable working knowledge of the great game of Aussie Rules.

How many times have we sat watching a game and thought to ourselves, or said to friends or family, I knew that was going to happen? And who doesn't like being right?

In this thread, I'd like us all to have a bit of fun predicting things that will happen during games, comments that will be made by the media, and any other amusing footy-related stuff. 

Over to you fellow Demonlanders....

    My first prediction is that the commentators tonight will fawn over Essendon and use the line "heroic effort" at least twice during the game.

    As well, in each game at least one player will deliberately put the ball out of bounds and then exclaim his innocence when pinged for it, McAvaney will exclaim that we are witnessing something special, and a Selwood brother will end up wrapped up like a mummy.

    Gut feeling that Essendon will win. As much as I would hate them to win, it would make last weeks loss the slightest bit easier to swallow. The slightest.

    I hate to agree on this point, Ethan, but unfirtunately I do. By the end of the round, Essendon will be ahead of us on the ladder. Boy do I hope I'm wrong.

    Which player do people think will get the yips in front of goal this weekend? And one of our players doesn't count.

    I am predicting that neither the bombers or port are god enough to beat each other and it will be a draw. Or Port will smash them.

    Port are so overrated,

    I think 'Bruce' will say something like,    "well he's always been good at kicking goals"  ah there ya go.

    I also predict that one of the Channel 7 team will make a really bad attempt to speak Chinese with the game being broadcast into China.

    Essendon are handing this win to Port.  A complete different team than we saw last week.

    Port by a landslide.

    Way off WAM. 'Twas a five goal lead a third of the game earlier than your crazy left-field suggestion.

    It's not about dulling the pain Maple

    it's about demanding a better effort from our "elite" football team. 

    We all knew Essendrug was going to be sh!t

    but we rolled over....

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
