LOOK OUT MAMA THERES A WHITE BOAT COMIN UP THE RIVER....

 

My wife walked into the front room where I was watching the game last night just as Plugger Mac kicked the winner. She looked at me strangely, as I was standing right in front of the TV shaking my fists in a more animated version of Goody. It took me a while to explain we'd just gone in front with 20 secs to go because I was panting quite hard.

she understood in the end, I think. Took me a while to wind down!

 

This is (arguably) the most joyous thread I've read on Demonland.  Loving every post!

That's it RN that's it...!

Two big things I've noticed in the last few weeks:

- our players aren't all going for the ball at once so there is (nearly) always someone running past to receive.  I was amazed at how much space we found last night, especially in the last quarter, when the ball seemed locked up and heading for a ball up.  Caught eagles flat footed!

- we don't seem to use the 'zone' defence quite so much.  There is a lot more one-one-one.  Also a player or two is staying back so there haven't been many 'out the back' goals.  It seems we are getting better at knowing when to zone and when not to zone.  I suspect Lewis has a lot to do with ensuring this happens.

These show how we have refined the execution of our game plan from last year and earlier this year as our players mature and gain experience.  And there is more maturing to happen.  Exciting times.

Legendary performer WW and one of my favs ?? ... like the Demons last night 

 

What a ripping win!  4 in a row woohoo.  That game was  exciting all the way through - we are a 4 quarter team now.
 

I am worried about who will get up for next week,  with a few niggles and injuries.

I loved the end the most - when all the players had a look of pure delight on their faces, another monkey off the back - they believe in the team and that's why we are winning - team first!!

Oh and its awesome having Maxy back out there

This context of this win was massive but when we discuss which players we had put we should also discuss Kennedy, Nic Nat and Lecra.

Yes me 2 RN, saw him in Belgium a few years back....Unbelievable.  That song and image stuck in my head after the game..

So just to clarify....

Dimma is coach of the year so far. Collingwood have the best midfield, and the Swans are currently the inform team of the comp?

Who is Mark Robinson.

For the punters out there, I took Melbourne into Melbourne Storm for the double. It was 41/1.

For the Flag double...

To the person who suggested to trade T.Mac, what were you thinking of? Someone mentioned where can we get another Mac from,since both Macs were pick No.43 perhaps that was the telling factor. Just another theory. Absolute brilliant win.Go the Dees. 

Win off a six-day break. Win a tough interstate road-trip. Win with some key players out. Win against the umps and a vociferous home-crowd. All that stuff. But one thing not mentioned so much - win at Domain, and on its dimensions. We weren't able to play our usual game - and it was telling. Yet we still found a way to win. Anyone, anywhere. 

Dissapointed in the coverage in the Herald Sun, Tommy M was on the backpage but we just got a small match report a out ten pages in. Dogs got about 5 pages, hey ho.

When Hannan goes to the contest, either something good happens for us or something bad happens for the opposition. To my way of thinking, this guy is the pick up of the year....... for any team.

Some notice next time pls WW!  Wd mate.  Yes I saw him for first time a few years back with son in tow as a budding guitarist.  He didn't know what hit him.  Actually I didn't know what hit me as I hadn't realised how much NY was into grunge & heavy vs his ballads.  Think he might have sung one ballad or two max on the night lol.

In the next six weeks we have matches against the three top teams, the 'in-form' team of the comp, and the last of our bogey teams. Bring that mother [censored] [censored] on mother [censored].

Pineapple after witnessing his first game I saw him as a bit like a smaller version of Fyfe.  Looking good so far and getting better by the month!  That snap off his left in heavy traffic was typical of his goal sense, real natural footy instincts and quick reflexes. A real natural that you don't see much of anymore.

Now I have my account back thanks to Nasher...

- Cam Pedersen's impersonation of Juice Newton's impersonation of Wayne Carey.

- Viney.

- Tom Mac wtf???

Cloud Nine.

  • 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.
