The forecast is for some rain in the afternoon which shouldn't worry us greatly. In fact, for a club that has stood on the edge of the abyss so many times in the past ten years, nothing should worry us.

The experience of being in contention this far into the season is something we should savour. This is a glimpse into our future.

 

 

Win. That's all there is to it.

Win today and the Melbourne Football Club stays alive until the very last game of the season. That's all a supporter can ask of their club.

Feeling both excited and nervous about today. A 10 goal win would mean a massive build up to the Cats game however I feel like the blues will want to make a statement. 

Need big games from Oliver and Petracca  with Hunt to take out the rounds rising star nom.

Hope the perm is under wraps until game time!


A 100 point win would do us quite nicely today Boys!

Edited by CBDees

we can't be worried about percentage next week. 

ten goal win makes the equation simple next week

This game will tell us a lot about this team. 

On paper we should win, 

To stay in the season we must win.

To give us every chance to make the finals we must will well.

 

This will tell us what players have the mental fortitude to make it in a good side, this will show us which players will drive us to the next levels. Our attack and desperation at the ball and the player with the ball should be much higher than Carltons.

Our willingness to help out our defence should be at its highest it's ever been.

It should hold up, I got the hairdresser to make it extra permanent.

I have woken up with a mixture of emotions this morning - excitement, nervousness, wonderment (that we have got through this strange season and still might be finals contenders) and above all hope that the stars are aligning and the outcome is positive for us all.

I am off to do some yoga now where today's intention will be not about world peace but for a Demons win.❤️?

My Collingwood supporter husband is coming along with me to the game decked out in red and blue - he dislikes Carlton immensely so he wasn't hard to persuade.

Go Dee's ❤️?❤️?

Sadly I am unable to attend today's game Ethan, or I would have awarded you the honour of supplying my alcoholic beverages pre, during and post game.

How disappointing for you!

However, if you see a toothless bloke in ill fitting Demon clobber you should buy the sheila he is with a drink.

Yes, Ethan made every effort to alert team management that he was going to p!ss all over a gas station.

Any statement the Blues might want to make pales into insignificance compared to the one we're trying to make this week and next.

I hope his "credentials" are up to snuff.

Be ferocious demons and really make a statement today


Biggest game in a decade.  

We must win...  it will make next week and the lead up the Cats game amazing...  everyone will be cheering for us to make the finals and knock out boring old North.  We will get so much positive press all week and we will officially be a footy club again.

Come on Dees get it done today!

News headlines tomorrow

DEMONS POST MASSIVE WIN

BRAD SCOTT RUSHED TO HOSPITAL- suspected bowel rupture.

I have the most annoying Carlton supporters at work. Will be depressing if we lose 

 

Just focus on our attack on ball, man and spread and the win and % will look after itself. It would be very easy for a young side to take in the plaudits of this week and already have an eye on Geelong (as some on here have) or focus on winning big rather than the process of winning. Another good test for our senior leaders to lead the way. 

Edited by big_red_fire_engine

Let's remember it's (possibly/probably?) Roosey's last game at the G.

if nothing else, Dees, turn it on for us to thank the man!

  • 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.
