Ok so now it’s been apparently proven that a draw doesn’t help I’m just going to focus on the benefit of the team who loses rather than anything else. 

Need to try anything to make this work.

    Lucky, that churchy trait gets Nathan Jones off the hook

    The hawks can do some damage in the finals. With Clarko there anything is possible. 

    I have been worried for a while that the Dorks could snatch another flag this year if they get into the Eight, especially if they get top 4. Their team is not what it was but they just keep playing consistent, smart football and many of the other contenders are copping injuries or suspensions. Only the Tigers and perhaps an improving GWS  are playing better footy. I hope we don’t have to meet them early if we make the Eight. We more than match them on paper but we get outplayed and outcoached just about every time we play them.

    I still don't think there has been enough focus on the cats and there current situation on the ladder. This is a team that has the like of Hawkins, Danger, Selwood, Menzel then they throw in ablett this year and they are currently sitting 9th. 

    They should be sitting top 4 but they aren't even in the 8. At the beginning of the season if you said with 3 rounds to go geelong would be 9th you wouldn't believe it.

    I just love the booing of Ablett.

    It’s a shame Geelong have 2 easy games coming up would have liked to see them miss 

    I think they still can. My ladder predictor has North coming in. I tried to redo it but it’s mid round.

    And if they had lost the 2 games won after the siren against us they would be well out contention!

    I had them finishing 9th in pre season ladder. They don’t deserve to be there e specially after what they did to us this year.

    you mean what we did to ourselves, they were just the bystanders.

    We blew it, twice. 

    They get 8 points. 

    This is exactly why we as a whole, club and supporters, must learn to never accept even an honourable loss as anything near good enough. 

    The ramifications are right here in front of us  

    that said, we can still control our destiny, but Jeelong should have been killed off weeks ago

    • 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.
