I just want to wish Zak Jones all the best in this weekends GF. 

He is the first of the Jones boys to make to a GF. 

in saying that I am tipping the Bulldogs. 

Would like to see them win it after such a long drought. 

Next on the list to win it would be the Demons.

    All the hype about the Bulldogs this week has been insane, it could all end in tears very quickly.

    Agreed, they may [play the game before it starts, bit like us in 2000, we looked so good up to the GF and then we just went to pieces.

    Hope the Bulies win and then we win the next three like we did in 55, 56 and 57.

    On a side note....when is the Swans COLA finally phased out?

    BA, I think all clubs have the same salary cap next year. Lions, Suns, Swans and Giants are just left with the academy zones in which is just as much and if not more of an unfair advantage.

    Tipping the swans to win easily. The dogs sort of remind me of the Dee's in 2000. Having said that no one was going to beat Essendon that year.

    Great to see young Jones an important part of the Swans defence. He is a different cat that way he goes about it.

    I want the Dogs to win. No question.

    I think the Dogs are paving a way for our own set of youngsters. Effort is superior to top draft picks such as the Giants received.

    If the Dee's can develop a similar desire to 'do it for their mates' I reckon We'll be in for a few solid years.

    I should be happy for the Doggies supporters after their massive drought but I'm not. It's kind of like seeing your mate win tattslotto. Whilst it's fantastic for your mate, what benefit do you actually get out of it? 

    I hope Buddy kicks a goal after the siren to win the game as a result of a dubious free kick.

    I could've sworn they won the flag last week.

    I've never seen such elation and excitement after a game that wasn't a grand final.

    BA,  I vaguely recall you having a wager on the dogs to be premiers. Is that correct/still on?

    Recon it will be over at quarter time or they will go goal for goal all day. Haven't been this excited about a GF for a few years.

    Go Doggies

    ( Swans by 40 )

    I think the Swans are taking a huge risk with McVeigh, could come unstuck for them. Maybe he will pull out before the game.

    Along with Mills they could lose this at the selection table.

    I guess we will see how it pans out on the day...

    It was correct mate but not it's not still on, I had :

    Coleman : Kennedy @ $2.75

    RS : Oliver @ $10

    Brownlow : Danger @ $9

    Flag : Dogs @ $12.50

    x $10 outlay = $30,937

     

    Would of been nice.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing....

    Next year I will take a few each way and mix it up. Need to have at least 3 options for the flag.

    Ok great, was thinking Swans COLA was just about wrapped up but was under the impression Suns and Giants has a couple of years left to run on theirs. Hopefully Brisbane's doesn't go back up.

    I think Sydney's is gone (there's probably still contracts in there that use it) but a few years to go for Suns and GWS.

    Dogs will keep the momentum rolling and win by 11 points with Bontempelli to kick the winner.

    would like to see this but think the swans will smash them

    I recon the doggies played their grand final last week.

    Be so hard to muster up that kind of desire again.

    That said,who knows what their coach has put into their heads.

    I really hope they win and it is a game that equals that of last week.

    That game showed me how far our team has got to go to rival that kind of determination.

    I don't think you can compare this GF with 2000. That Bombers side was absolutely unstoppable and had the greatest season in history.

    The difference between the Dogs and Swans quality is a lot smaller than the Dees and Bombers of 2000.

    What do you mean by this? The underdog has won before

    I thought the dogs played their GF, 3 weeks ago, then 2 weeks ago, then last week....

    • 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.
