Slobbo on twitter saying Daniher might be a late out.

An infected self inflicted dog bite is a possible reason for his out.

I've got a date with an ex-nun this afternoon so I couldn't care less about this game. 

Don't make a habit of it !!!!!

 

Hope we win, Goddard cracks it again, hogan has a day out, essenscum fans leave the game filthy and bomberblitz goes into meltdown 

Joe is in. I reckon we will win today looking forward to the match, TMac makes a big difference structurally.

If Daniher is a late out then it will be Essendons worst side they’ve put out all year and all the planets will be aligned to ensure an emphatic victory for them.

brings back memories of 2016...  how did we lose that one !!

Watching from home, I hate sheetihad! or whatever they call it. Upwards of $25.00 to sit in the top rafters?

Nar !

 

In the corresponding game last year,if I recall correctly watts kicked 4, petracca kicked 3 or 4, Garlett 3 and hannan 2. Only one of those guys is playing today. 

Concerned about our ability to kick a big enough score today


Interesting inclusion with Spargo.

Goodwin likes his aggression. When a little man plays with aggression his teammates are going to have to stand tall.

This is a good selection.

Looks like the roof is closed?

nothing like sitting in the dark indoors on a beautiful day after being in the office all week!

Slobbo was wrong. No late changes.

he usually is

I will be at the gym from about 1 (2 your time) so will catch the first half.

Now I've calmed down a bit, I think there were some positives we could take from last week.

It's clear the issue is confidence and how that detracts from employing an effective game plan.

While the Dons will not lie down, my feeling is they are in a similar boat to us. They have talent but they are well down on confidence. 

This is a tough match to pick. I picked the Hawks and Tiges to roll us and thought we would get past the Lions and Roos.i don't approach this one with any confidence to pick a winner.

I think we win by 8 points in a game which will be pig dog ugly considering the 5 day turn around.

Dont worry, its started already......

Oh and theres this gem...."Ambrose to smash Hogan"  Yeah na.


Burning question for the day - will it be Daniher or Stringer that we play back into form?

Who will take home the Kent Kingsley today?

Stringer. 

Mostly because he is a s*** bloke and the footy gods decree that we be the ones who usually let types like him have crackers (see Mitch Robinson).

We’ll win, Goodwin is just trickin’ us 

does anyone remember the season that the crows were mediocre, few wins and losses and inconsistent then one week they flicked the switch and started scoring 25 goals a game? Think Craig was coach and Goodwin was playing, maybe around 2003-2006? Anyway, would love to see that happen to dees!

Is anyone actually going other than the cheer squad?

Normally this is a game eldest lad and I attend. He's a Bomber... :(

Even he can't get interested. 

Roof closed. TMac having shots on goal with BF and Hoges. A while to go, but pretty empty. 

I'm stoked to see what Tom McDonald back in our side does for how we set up. I think we'll be much more calm as we move our ball to goal.

I like that we have three genuine marking forward options.

I wonder what the forward line plan was before we were forced to play TMac up front?

  • 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.
