GAMEDAY - Round 17

I've had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach all week about today's match. Something about our attitude before that Saints game, and playing this on the G where we've been less than impressive all year. It's like teams have found out how to exploit our game plan there.

Hopefully I'm wrong, because if we blow today then our finals chances are as good as cooked IMO. Too many other teams on the fringes with far easier runs home, like Hawthorn and North.

And almost every time this year that other teams have blown key matches and opened up a golden opportunity for us to move ahead, we've consistently blown it. And lo and behold, this week it's Geelong and Hawthorn opening the door. The Dees rarely miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity and, once again, the stage is set. 

So, please, please prove me wrong Demons.

Argh I should be there. Bloody sister in law having her dinner for her birthday tonight. Petracca has to take his game up to another level now and get into the midfield. Dam I hope Jack's toe isnt to bad. 

 Christian Petracca, Bernie Vince, Jay Kennedy Harris, Alex Neal-Bullen on the bench. 

Come on melbourne. Win and win well.

Not working out too well for Hawthorn at the moment.

Jesse looking neat and tidy with his pot shots.

Exactly why we need to take our chances when they present themselves, especially on the oft-chance other teams drop big games.

Otherwise this season is going to be a repeat of 2017.

Edit: Way off.

missing Viney for games against Adelaide and Geelong is really tough. Makes winning today even more important. Im no doctor to know how long a "stress" takes to heal. But, presuming he got to it early,  does anyone know anything about this kind of  thing? As much as I hate to say it it may even be best to just rest him til 2019. His not a player we can lose long term through mismanagement. As I said Im no doctor but Im also curious about just how much heart ache can we actually bear until we explode or catch fire?

Bad news about Viney and even worse if it's as bad as people are saying. But right now we got a game to play 

Fox Footy saying it's a long layoff.

My unsolicited advice: make sure she has the best day ever, even it the MFC are poo.

Just an update for those wondering, she’s into her second caramello and already half way through the pizza shapes so having a ball so far ?

Oh joy we have Dwayne Russell...

And great start!


How was that bounce not recalled. Umpire couldn't be [censored].

Sitting in Los Angeles, Watch Afl App isn’t working. Driving me crazy trying to see the game.

Obviously not addicted to watching the game though.   Good luck everyone!

Milkshake. Nice.

Glad I pay for WatchAFL and woke up early (UK) to watch a screen showing me how many minutes I'm missing

  • 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.
