1939 was the last year that Melbourne, Richmond and Collingwood played together in a finals series. Hard to believe.

    Incredible. And there is even a possibility that all three could play eachother!

    Richmond (1st) deafeats Collingwood (4th)

    Melbourne defeats Collingwood in the Semi, and finds their way to the Grand Final against Richmond.

    It would be like the finals were turned into a commemorative special event in honour of the MCG.

    What's even more incredible is that there is a big chance one of them is a runner up to us as we win the flag.

    And who were premiers in '39, '40 and '41? ?

    I think it was in 1940 Melbourne had apoliceman tagging Jack Dyer.

    The only time Jack Dyer was suspended was when my grandfather, a goal umpire, reported him.  Quite proud of that.

    AFL house will be like some “Manor” in Romsey this morning. Jolly good floggings all over the place, the AFL would mandate 2 of 3 of Dons, Tigs or Pies are to play finals every season if they could.

    Add in 1 Cinderella bottom feeder team like Saints, Dees, North or Dogs.

    Stir with GWS and at least 1 team from each other state and you have jolly good floggings at AFL house..

    First time since Pies and Hawks officially joining Demons (No.1 tenant) and Tigers in 2000 as primary tenants of the ‘G’ that all four tenants have made the finals in the same year. 

    Time to kick them curbside.

    Are we a tenant club? I was always under the impression that we were a home club and I think this was confirmed when we were accepted as a sporting section of the MCC again .. I believe all others are tenant

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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.
