It's just another day but you wonder what else it's going to bring?

A WIN 

 

Fine china placed in top cupboard & cat given to neighbour.

Hawks, Swans and North have opened up 3 top 8 spots that we are fighting for with half a dozen teams. 

Port will take one for sure. We lose today it's not curtains but will make it very difficult for us.

We can win this one, we will have the fresher legs ( just ) and I expect us to run away with it in the last quarter.


Either way, will be home for tea. These early ones are odd.

And isn't that a powerful motivator.  Surely, that will spur the team on to overcome challenges.  Won't it?

Add Freo to that and that is 4 of the 2015 top 8 teams. 

If ever there was a year that a team was going to sneak into the 8, this is it.  Will be incredibly disappointing if we don't get there this year.  Especially if the likes of Ess, Rich, StK do.  

Will leave town for the finals season, if that happens!!

I've graduated from 'woe is me'  to quietly confident about our prospects as the week has progressed.  The team selections (both sides), and a slightly longer break, give us a bit of an edge imo, and I think we can play harder for longer and get over the line ........  but Tracc needs to be 100%.  He could be the difference if it goes down to the wire, I reckon.

They use up a whole day I prefer the 4 pm starts.

Seriously considering not watching this and working around the house. Less stressfull.

Would be a good time for an overseas trip Luci. Somewhere isolated and sans internet.

Our little one came down with a virus on Friday and was chucking all day yesterday. At least that gives a me an excuse not to go to that cesspit of a stadium.

Not holding my breath for this one. Something has been off in the last 2 weeks, injuries aside. We just havent had that sustained hunger. Hopefully Lewis can come in and show some leadership - as we have been devoid of it for weeks.

Really want to see Viney have a big game. Hasnt been his usual self all year.

Sitting on the Tarmac at Tullamarine. Will miss the whole shebang - after the last 3 weeks this is good for my health. 

Whenever I get to wifi later I'll find out if we're still on the hunt or staring down the barrel. 

Good luck boys and girls.

GO DEEEES!!! 

On the way we are playing, we are one of those teams that might 'sneak' in.  Until we find the groove with the game plan and get a few fit bodies back, I think that is our reality.

I think Richmond will be this years North - they are a pretty crap 5-0 team, and I think they will be totally pantsed by the Crows.We can write off North, Swans and (maybe) Hawthorn, although Hawthorn are the more likely of this bunch to get their Mojo back.

I think there will be lots of upsets all year.  I so want us to win today - because it is the bummers, because of how it sets up our next 6 weeks, and how it sets up our season.  

If injuries aren't an excuse then a loss today and being 2 and 4 is a failure in my books.

Handy in my case.

As soon as the final siren blows I'll be heading for the Skybus to the airport and will land in Perth by 8:30pm (WST).

Totally agree - need the forwards to fire and someone (anyone) to do the job on daniher. Lewis back is huge - and I think helps us  be quietly confident of a win. 

Ok. Crystal ball out

Damn... it's cracked.

Anyhow. 

How we win.:

Stop their thrusts before hb.

If cant win ruck , shark them . Filth did it for years.

Contest, contest CONTEST the ball. Lock it up, deprive them of run.

Wear Joe like glove Touch him up mercilessly. Thats your job Sam...run with and deny.

Lewis and Pig. Command central for rebound assaults. Your kicking is crucial to that next target.

Tommy Tommy Tommy. Do that good stuff you do but for Christ sake give ir to Pig or Lewis to 'dispose'

Bernie...need a pearler from you. 

Chunk. No hero rubbish ...good solid ball winning...get rid of quickly...like Clarry be !!

Clarrry...just be you.. you're fine ;)

Nev ... Big day son...shut down someone :)

Milkshake. Today you deliver....or f@#$ OFF!!

Viney. Wanna play general. Be GENERAL !! LIFT son. Solid SOLID game required.

Jeffy...ffs today turn it on....to Max !!

Harris... meh...hmmm. Score...or go home.

Dom dom dom. Time for the good Dom to reappear. 

Pedo. Make this game yours !!

Watts. Well ..you know watt you're doing....just keep doing it ;)

Truck....Big Mack time !!

ANB. Know where boundary line be like !! 

Hannan ...fly under radar and over them. Good luck ;)

Go Dees

( Cant come home with eldest gloating.....again !! )

You know Mono, that just about sums up gameday for a Dees supporter. One of the best posts of the year so far. Gold. 


So if we lose today we r on the same wins as Carlton! F  A  R  K  ING Carlton  

Now that would be depressing. 

I have little confidence about today and I'm sick of feeling like this.

If we lose some apologist will come out and gloat that our percentage is better than Carlton's. Try and console yourself with that.

Will roof be closed?

How do they make that decision?

Losing to Freo on our own dung heap had already demolished the injury excuse.

  • 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.
