Still buzzing. 

If we win next week we play Geelong in our first elim final. Wowee.

The script looks written for us to knock the cats out of the finals after the heartbreaking losses against them. Would be so sweet!

    I want us to win next week, the G is our home and even though it hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us of late that needs to change. Let's start from next week.

    Ever since round one I've wanted us to face the cats in the finals. I want nothing more than for us to swipe those arrogant smiles of the cats fans faces. They've been lucky too long now, they didn't deserve round 1, and they didn't deserve round 18. Let's take them down when it really matters.

    Couldn't agree more! The losses this year were heartbreaking. They didn't deserve either of them. But boy can we make it sting by beating them when it counts. The look on their faces will be the stuff of sweet dreams for a long time haha

    Those DL'ers bemoaning the selection of Milkshake , particularly after he copped the 12 month ban, are eating humble pie.

    I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but how sweet to beat the team that denied us a place in the finals last year 

    Did not even think of that. Makes it sweeter.

    How good was it when we started to control the tempo with about two minutes to go?

    If only we could do that say at the end of each quarter when we are 20-30 points up and the opposition have just kicked a goal.

    As it happens, I'll be in Sydney for the first week of the finals with my 3 kids (all Demons supporters).

    Hmm, I had booked to have dinner at Icebergs at Bondi on Saturday night. If Demons play in Sydney that night, looks like I'll have to cancel that booking.

    I've been a Demons supporter since 1968. Very pleased. However, nothing compares to the feeling at the final H+A match at the Western Oval in 1987. (I was there.)

    GO DEES !!!

    Goodwin says it best:

    "I am so happy for our supporters right now...They have had 12 years of misery, but now they have a team they can really get in behind and support and build some momentum from here."

    I look forward to a new narrative from all the media 'experts' harping on about 'can't be trusted' and 'mentally weak'.

    The guys showed today, how badly they want finals.  Very proud day for every demon fan.

    Well done MFC. What a great collective effort when needed. We beat a good side today. I'm happy, exhausted and about to watch the replay. Go Dees

    Oh my god so happy. When wc hit the front I know we all thought here we go, coughed up another lead and they will run over us. But it was great that we answered with the next couple of goals. Gee it was good to have melksham and hibbard back. Hannan was also really good.

    Laughing at the west coast fans on twitter complaining about the umpiring.

    But loved Jonsey's reaction on the final siren. Well done boys.

    I hope we get a great crowd next week and get a win and go into the finals with confidence.

    I also hope the younger boys just don't see this finals campaign as an experience. Because they just need to look at there captain to know how hard it is to play finals.

    Even Neale Daniher put out a tweet saying its bloody brilliant.

    Only 3 teams beat West at home this year. Sydney, Dons and us. Even Tigers couldn’t do that

    How good was that! Milkshake is crucial to this club. Harmes was awesome. Jonesy played a captain's game. Gus, Clarry and Maxxy solid as always. Loved the INs. Hannan was fantastic. Didn't hit the scoreboard (kicks were woeful), but I really liked what I saw from Weids. He's going to be a great contributor. Even Kent gave a little in the second half.

    Modelling for the finals:

    First good news (from a 'I don't like the Roos' perspective) is it doesn't look like they can make it from here, same as Port as they need the cats to lose to the suns... Yikes.

    If we win (regardless of hawks Sydney game) we finish 5 and we play cats at G.

    If we lose and Hawks win, we play Sydney over there.

    If we lose and Swans win, we play Hawks at G.

    I really don't know what I prefer. I'd rather win (obv) and knock the cats out of the finals. Can't lose to them 3x in a year, right? Plus, it would be great for the story to knock the cats out of the finals!

    BRING IT!

    If we win and Freo beat Collingwood we finish fourth. I’m barracking for that!

    • 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.
