Nice.

 

Why name him if he was never really going to play? seems ridiculous to me.


At the station on the way in...loads of Melbourne everywhere. I feel a bit sick.

I doubt they were trying to trick us, just giving their best player the absolute maximum amount of time to get up for the game.

I'm not sure about that. He hasn't played a game in the lead up and apparently its a really tricky injury that you can't mess with or he could be out for another 8 weeks. Seems like a ruse for Roos that they might have rued...

 

Sorry about that....

You're probably right, but it was so opportunistic/unrealistic, that it now looks desperate.

Still nervous about this game though. Very nervous.

It feels like a 40 cm putt to win the Masters. Should nail it, but given the gravity of it all, it's terrifying.

We need to win this game.

I'm heading down bridge Rd through enemy turf. Lots of nervous looking people of all colours.

I reckon Hardwick was just desperate. I can't see anything to be gained by tricking the MFC, and I doubt anyone would fall for it in any case.

Pandemonium outside Gate 3 as the ticket scanners break down causing a huge crowd waiting to get in. 

Food sellers outside cashing in with their exorbitant prices.

Apparently not confined to Gate 3. 

This could be interesting.

Well they are in a slightly desperate situation, Punt Road End going into meltdown already.....

That's not good I am leaving in 5mins and will arrive right on kick off...don't want to be stuck outside for the first half...

If all games so far this weekend are any indication there has been a lot of free kicks overlooked.

It seems as though there are instructions to let flow quite a lot. Consequently there are a lot of good and fair players not being protected..

  • 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.
