Rd. 22: Omen Watch vs Eagles

I find that the pre-match Demonland threads lack a certain intellectual rigour and brings me no closer to deciding whether we will beat our opposition or not . . .

So, introducing Omen Watch:

I was visiting the hospital tonight, in ward C5 (Petracca?) and noticed a digital sign which read 'U4 EG afl. los'

I'm thinking it's bad.

But a duck also died next to my house the other day.

Maybe that's good?

    Was the duck killed by an eagle? If so, could be a bad sign.

    Not cryptic enough. Bring back the riddler from the draft forum a few years back!

    Yesterday I saw a woman wearing blue and yellow socks walking across the road, she tripped over the gutter and landed on her stomach. Pretty sure she was awarded a free kick. Good sign or bad sign?

    Was it you who gave her a kick? Could be a good sign.

    My girlfriend got the dead duck out of the water - but not with a Gaff.

    I visited a farmer last night.

    He had 22 dead Wedge tailed Eagles shot and strung up along a barbed wire fence.

    Inside the house a huge fire was lit.

    Out of the fire appeared 22 Tasmanian Devils who scooted out to the fence and devoured the Eagles before running into a massive laurel Bush  and murdering a nest of Magpies.

    Seems fairly positive.

    Looks like someone is trying a different brand of bathwater.

    Is it an omen that in Sydney this week I've had multiple sightings of other Demon supporters in team gear? There's clearly some pride and determination still to be found. Possibly stung by the irritation of being around Swans supporters.

    I saw a father and son today, the son was wearing a demon t-shirt and and a red and blue jacket, the father had a demon key ring.

    So for me if i see fellow dee's before the game it's good luck, how ever if i see the other team colours it's always bad.

    So all good for this week?

    When my wife was with child a few years back I was at St Vincents Hospital and noticed one of their Obstetricians was named Dr Pregs Pillay.

    Then I had a baby. (Not actually me, you understand.)

    I think we've got this one.

    • 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?

      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.
