North lost to Geelong last week and may lose to GWS today, but again they have come to play. No excuses for lack of effort from us today.

Even the Tiges have turned up......

Predict Selwood to end the game with a bandage wrapped around his melon.

Watch for the bandaged head diving to the ground particularly in the last quarter if its close.

I love the air of quiet confidence that many posters have going into this game (it's been a long time since we've seen that before a match against the Cats!).  For whatever reason, I've shared this confidence all week, and it's been reinforced by the decisions made around the selection table.  It's impossible to say that our lineup isn't weakened by the MRP 'lottery', but I love  the competitive look of our team today.  I really think we can win, and have the the football world start talking Melbourne in a serious vein.

I'm not at all confident Deeoldfart- never was never will be. The glass is half empty-I had better fill it.


Carn the Dees!!! Bull, Watts and Jeffy 10-12 goals between then

Not wrong about filling it, AFL must have shares in BWs I got half a slab and a couple of Guinness cans but I'm nearly out and game hasn't even started...

And no one around ! :rolleyes:

 

I'm set for the game. I've thrown a couple of stubbies in the fridge, I have Half a bottle of Laphroig in the cupboard and some Cold Duck for the celebration afterwards.

Arrived home yesterday morning after a couple of weeks o/s. Was wide awake at 2am this morning which gave me a chance to get up and watch (and delete) the recording of last week's win. Foxtel also had a the 2015 R12 game on at some ungodly hour in the middle of the night...happy days!

Could be sound asleep by half time.

Ed: Ken's Dream is the favourite at Caulfield (R6). I'm loading up.

Missed the start by two lengths and still got up...happy days indeed!

For anyone interested (anyone?) The Irish stout went in well, perhaps pitched the yeast a little too hot but will be ok. Smelt amazing so am assuming in a couple of months it will be, like the mighty demons, unbeatable.

All grain or kit?


I had a couple drinks last night and now I can't find my damn lid. C'mon Dees!

Bull to kick 5 and Etihad to be renamed 'The Chinashop'

Kit, only my third batch but I can see where this is heading. Steeped grains and also mixed brown sugar, molasses and liquorice extract.

 

All grain will be next experiment

Dees to win by whatever it takes.

....whatever it takes.

 

After Essendon, that phrase should be banned in footy circles.

Can't go today but will be trying to sneak a few glimpses on my phone.

Any late changes? How's the ground?

Hope we can roll them! Oliver for another 30+ possession game and Petracca to fire up and kick 4.

Will only be able to watch the first half as I will be dining out with a couple of friends.

I am hoping that the result will be decided in our favor by then!

 

Watching from Pub in Ballarat...you get your own personal Tele in a Booth!!

 

Go Dees.....oh yes and go number 13!

I like our 'away' jumper ^_^

Bodes well

  • 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.
