The problem with the saints game plan is that everything needs to go perfectly well for them to look like a good footy side.

    Exactly the same as the MFC

    For every 5 things St Kilda do right, they make 1 mistake which completely kills all momentum they had and hands back momentum to the opposition. What an infuriating team to watch.

    So the winner of next week's match Hawks V Sydney get top 4, loser down to 5th probably. Either way, top 4 aspirations are cooked for us. Just a [censored] fight to stay in the 8 now, as we expected.

    Goodwin would take a 1 point win over anyone at this point.

    Why?

    they had an off night and still won. We at the MFC can only dream such scenario’s. 

    It will be forgotten about by Monday afternoon

    Feels like a real slow death this time. Every little result sucking a bit more life out of us.

    Hawks know how to win, we know how to lose.

    It's like the entire round 23 2017 weekend (after we lost to Collingwood and all saw what was coming) spread out over an entire month. It's like I've been stuck in a slow-motion car crash ever since that Sydney loss, arguably even since the [censored] Geelong loss.

    If Freo beat Coll in Perth and we win both, we can finish 4th?

    Yeah pretty much. We’re just watching it all unfold in slow motion this time.

    They’re a totally different team at home and Pies have a huge injury list, anything can happen as we almost saw with Saints tonight.

    • 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.
