    Shows how important Melksham is to this side.

    Hibbered good, Hannan great,Weed 100% holds his spot, did some really good things.

    Hooray for finals!!!

    Only question is who comes in for Spargo?

    It might sound silly but I thought West Coast hitting the front as ‘early’ as they did was helpful. It refocused and galvanised us. So incredibly proud of all of the players. A fantastic effort over there. 

    Shout out to the recruiting staff. What did we give up for Hibberd & Melksham? Where were Tom McDonald,  Hannan, Harmes, Jetta and Fritsch drafted? 

    What a day. Let’s all get to the G next week and bring back a home final.

    Me too, we were looking to save our lead, I thought that would end in tears, we play better attacking and just prayed we could do it.

    Given the number of outs we had and that it was interstate against a top rated side, was that our best win for the year so far??  I realise WC had plenty out as well but....

    He wasted a lot of opportunities and he needs to actually go for marks instead of pushing his opponent under the ball, but he is far more dynamic and offers more than Hogan has in recent weeks.

    We got a good run from the Umpires I thought considering it was over there. 

    Yeah I thought the maggots were very 'accomodating' today, surprisingly.

    Still a few dodgy calls/non calls, but far few that I expected given what was at stake.

    We did really well to keep the crowd quiet for most of the game.

    Shout out to Harmes who has really stepped it up lately.

    Still can't believe the resurrection of Gus, it's beautiful. 

    So gutsy, CARN DEES.

    JKH would be the only alternative... not sure he adds alot more to justify the switch though.  Spargo showed patches of some solid play during the 3rd i thought and appears to be slowly learning a little more each week.  Not quick but work rate is up there also.

    i knew Melksham was a huge part of that Forward Line.

    Playing for a home final next weekend, huge stakes now

    Can we all make a pact not to ever be a bunch of flogs like the West Coast fans?

    Let's save our booing for when we are actually getting dusted up by the umps.

    Got caught out having to come on without being able to put it on. Order was restored after a minute of play

    Well done Dees..... flying back to Oz next week and will be coming to the MCG to watch the GWS game with my fellow Dees supporters.

    Let's go into this final series with momentum and belief.

    Go Dees

    Umpires good, coaches played no funny buggers and as much as I’m critical of the old guys, they stood up in the last 10mims and had too. Great club effort all round

    Yes we have to lose by 150 points and port to win by 100

    Actually the difference is 357 points - so the odds are incredibly long!

    They are the absolute worst.  They boo absolutely anything.

    Can't agree more, I haven't heard a bigger batch of whiners. We got some lucky ones, they got some lucky ones, I would say (for once) it was actually a very evenly umpired game. 

    They're never happy unless they've got 15 more free kicks than the traveling teams.

    If Freo beat the filth and Sydney and Hawthorn don't draw (so one of them stays on 14 wins), then our percentage would see us slide into 4th.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
