Well you can lock Hawthorn in for another finals spot. Such an easy run home.  

Geelong as usual with two gifts in the final two rounds - at home to Freo and  Gold Coast.

The AFL really love to look after the Cats and Hawks.  Sickening.

    Chokes.

    The MFC

    Hmmmm

    I know but can't we just dream of playing in September for once instead of just assuming the absolute worst is going to happen (again)!?

    The Swans suddenly looking vulnerable. 

    And we play them in round 21...  the stakes will be huge.

    Its well overdue, a serious ravalry/hatred between Melbourne and Sydney

    Potential that has just sat here, both clubs have never really pursued it hard, maybe we were just not strong enough before. 

    Everything else between Melbourne and Sydney is dead serious

    Step up Demons. Create another Marquee game. 

    Use our name

    The obvious answer is YES.

    However the MFC has such a long tradition of failure it is very difficult to not expect the worst.

    Sad? Yes but understandable.

    I was 17 when I saw us win our Grand Final in 1964.

    I didn't think I'd reach 71 without us winning another!

    The EH Holden had just been released along with “A Hard Day’s Night”

    and some people call me impatient for some real success

    We can tell.

    Me? I was a spritely teen the last time the dees played finals. Now I'm staring down the barrel of 30 and I still hold that Chopper Carroll takedown on Fraser Gherig as my most loved footy moment.

    Same same. Was with the cheer squad in "T" section and lost my voice for quite a while after the match. Stayed at the G overnight and got home late Sunday.

    30 was a good year. They went fast after 30 though, be ready. 

    The only constant each year has been the failing of the MFC, with some different excuse!!!! :)

    You could stay inside the stadium back then or did they shunt you into the carpark?

    my dad and his mates would often end up at one of the players houses after a GF and literally go from house to house for about 5 days!

    I have us playing the Hawks (6v7) if we can snag one against Geelong (And of course beat WB/GCS/ADEL/GWS)

    Can't wait to get one back against that mullet haired Stratton [censored].

    Ben McEvoy out for at six weeks with a fractured cheek bone. Won’t help the Hawks chances.

    I think we are roughly the same age. To me your not being impatient it is just the reality.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
