    There is a reason I (and many others) would be happy for Bernie to remain at the club in a coaching role or runner or even as captain at Casey, not sure where, but I would be very happy to have Bernie remain a Demon

    He seems to have a lot of love and respect from the playing group.

    I clicked on the picture and got through, try that if you only clicked the text at the bottom. I also find I sometimes have better luck on my phone than iPad.

    about time there was a foxtel equivalent for newspapers... don't mind paying but the idea of paying a sub for each (used to love occasionally browsing the NYT for example) means that one naturally gravitates toward the free on line portals such as The Guardian

    Great article. You can sense that there is a huge resolve amongst this playing group, or the “22 brothers” as Mas says. I think Gee-so-long are in for a torrid time on Friday

    Great piece.  There have been massive changes at MFC.  Seems like a place people want to be, and a place where people strive together to be their best.  Can't ask much more than that (except a premiership, perhaps....)

    Bernie deserves a life membership. Came to us at our lowest and helped drag us up by our own bootlaces.

    He has it, definitely of MCC, so assume MFC as well

    Can’t get past Rupert’s wall, i gather Max is talking about inside the club

    If the Casey result is any guideline then the boys are ready to make some statements. 

    Cut Throat game. No second chance

    A nice read.  It's a pity we tend to get this kind of info about a player only when they get close to the end of their career.  Was nice to hear about how the whole Vince clan has embedded themselves into the fabric of the Club.  I was a little puzzled to read that, though, assuming they still lived somewhere in rural SA.  Does anyone know if they have moved to Melb?  Or, do they make the trek to Melb on a regular basis?

    As others have said, just hope Bernie sticks around the Club beyond this year in some capacity.

    (I'd also like to see the fairy tale of Bernie making it back for at least one Casey Final -- and preferably two, and playing well enough to demand a call up into the AFL Grand Final.  How stoked would he be to lift the Cup aloft along side his old mate and mentor Goody?!)

    Dont mean to bring a negative vibe to all this positivity. But honestly Id rather the players just keep all this stuff to themselves until the finals are finished. feel like we're leaking a bit...spirt of Bernie, spirit of Jimmy,  the brotherhood,  etc etc. Maybe its just me but if this kind of stuff was coming out of Geelong, so far out form the game,  I reckon id be smiling as it may well be playing into our hands. Feels like we're going too early. 

    Lets save this kind of stuff to after the GF when we're explaining how we did it. Until then.. "We're proud tp be here but geelong are a great side, we know what we're facing etc etc etc.

    I think they are thinking a bit further ahead than us...now this is what I call going early.

    • 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.
