Watching OTC tonight, the most authoritative show on TV are saying we will get at least to the second last game.

How bloody exciting!

    I've always loved Jonathan Brown. The man loves the Dees. Has nothing but good things to say about us. 

    Positive press about Melbourne is so confusing I don't know what to do with myself?!

    Dees, pay no attention to OTC, maintain your balance, keep your emotions in check and and let the results do the talking.

    I have no doubt that you have as much idea as anyone on OTC.

    Trust your own instincts.

    Screw this, lid is off. 

    Dees to beat the giants in the big dance and the whole crowd to laugh at tom Scully as one 

    Nathan jones deserves to hold up the cup more than just about anyone

    Early '07 was the best time to be a Melbourne supporter in my memory. The last few weeks rival that though.

    Playing finals for the first time in 11 years would be a start. 

    5 more wins needed

    Agreed, if we lose a few, the media will drop us cold and be on another teams bandwagon.

    Was too young in '87, but remember being full of hope '94 and '98. Even though we made the GF in 2000, still reckon '98 was the year we had a real chance.

    The collapse from being a good team from 04-06 to the drop off in 07 (and subsequent decade long rebuild) was stark. In hindsight, not entirely sure why ND had to go. Was the board just looking for the first opportunity to let him go?

    Exactly. Injuries and the bounce of the ball. We are still a year off truely being a contender, I think we'll run out of gas right at the end. 

    Loving what we are doing so far in a very even season.

    All year the media have tried to pigeonhole teams but it's the most even season in living memory with multiple upsets every week making them look stupid.

    As well as we are playing now we could just as easily have lost to Collingwood and West Coast.

    It's such a crazy season, just enjoy the ride.

    10 years is a long time. ND did all he could

    when Byron came back from holidays in 07 twice the size i knew it was all over. 

    If Jakovich had lasted the entire '94 season, Well who knows....

    '98 we had a real good side, but G Lyon's back was gone.....

    Of course. The reality bus hit us pretty damn hard in 2007, round 1 with those injuries and that massive loss. But up until then it was SWEET being the best side in Victoria...

    • 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?

      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.
