Steve has this view that if you're not attacking the club then you must be defending it. If you're not ranting and raving, you must be happy with how things are. I'm surprised anyone even bothers replying to him anymore tbh.

Please kill my account and block my internet address.  Thanks and go dees.

    @steve_f

    I don't think  @Nasher was referring to you.  I think he was referring to 'stevethemanjordan'

    Would be sad to see you go, having been a member since 2005.

    Looking forward our best players and the ones who will be guns are mainly under 23:

    Oliver, Viney, Hogan, Petracca, Hunt

    Even the next group other than Jones only just over 25

    Gawn, Hibberd, Jetta, Jones

    Compare to supposedly young Carlton best players

    Cripps (young) Murphy, Kreuzer, Gibbs

    Tigers

    Dusty, Cotchin, Riewoldt, Rance

    Geelong

    Selwood, Dangerfield, Hawkins, Taylor

    Port

    Boak, Gray, Wines(23), 

    There is hope.

    We need to become ruthless and I think Goodwin getting a few more solid players in over the draft will be able to instil this into the Demons.

    Don't get too worked up over this stuff. It's pointless now. Move on and focus on next year.

    Just as we have said after almost every disappointing season for the last half century

    Get over it! The result is fact now...

    This will be a springboard to sustained success...

    I think Jones and Lewis have responded well to the week and season that was...

    The club needs to be ruthless in trade and drafting. Player development needs to step up. 

    Possibly gain Lever (need to concrete our back 6). Outside running/goal kicking midfielders required (I believe Melksham can develop into a very good one). A ruck/forward who is deficult to match up on (trade in Mason Cox).

    Do we trade our 2018 1st Round pick this season? 

    will be??  certainly should be.  IF they really want it to happen and wouldn't just like it to.

    Such an un-Melbournian trait though.

    Challenge for Goodwin is to get this very basic fact through to an all too comfortable playing group

    I'm worried that we didn't get a single Rising Star nomination in 2017.

    • 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.
