I'm camping at Winton V8's and it's too cold to sleep (should have listened to wife and brought an extra blanket) so I'll start game day.

Hopefully we learnt out lesson agianst Essendon and just get the job done today, 4 points is a non negotiable.

 

Brisbanes leading goalkicker is Zorko with 12, their next best has 7.  Their leading possession getter is Dayne Beams with 24 per game.. hes out today.  They hardly have anyone that can find the ball.

if we dont win by at least 10 goals Ill be disappointed.

they are a vfl side at best,must win by at least 12gls


All the hallmarks of a danger game here. Raging favourite, 'weak' opposition who have copped a pasteing in the media and selection table, playing away from their warm home in the cold MCG. 

Unfortunately we're not good enough to go in half arsed and win by 10 goals as the Hawthorns and Geelongs have done to us over the last decade. Thankfully the boys learnt that lesson against the Bombers already - we hope! 

Treat them lightly and not bring our A game we might be in trouble. Bring our A game and hunt the ball as we have been and we win... well

I have a feeling of unreasonable confidence.

I am almost as confident of a big Demon victory today as I was about seven weeks ago when we played the Bombers. ?

I'm trying not to think about it. I should be confident but i follow melbourne...

 

Now Im nervous.   Damn it


Im very confident going into today's game

There is no way roosy will let what happened against the bombers happen again

Minimum 10 goal win today

Newton and Dunn are both emergencies and apparently did not play with Casey yesterday. Seems like there is going to be a change. Could it be Tyson who had back issues during the week?

It can stem from an inability to mature properly and form adult relationships.

But this is not the time or place to discuss it.

I'll see your 10 goals and raise you 14. 

Put them to the sword, stay in hunt for 8.

Unfortunately that sums the matter up perfectly

I was confident we'd win but cautious. Today I am just confident.

I loss would be a far bigger indictment on the team's progress and improvement than the Essendon loss. This Brisbane team is much, much worse than any team Essendon has fielded this year.

I'm heading to the 'G today, so I'd like to break a losing streak when I go t games that runs back to 2006!

Hey Bitters, Just what warming benefits does getting" cold shoulder" (as I usually get from the wife) provide one? 

Perhaps I need to try a different wife.

We used up our one "we didn't come to play" (I miss Danners) for the year on Essendon.  The boys bring that up all the time in their interviews - hopefully it still stings and we come out breathing fire.  We'll smash them if we do.

Last season it happened at least three times. That was  a serious abuse of the players "didn't come to play" allowance. Can't trust the players not to take advantage again.

When was the last time we won as favourites?? Seriously I can't remember, nearly all our wins for the past few years we are rank outsiders !

I have heard that Tyson is the reason for the two emergencies.

  • 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.
