Same, and I totally agree!

The team has been building to this moment, and I think the message will be sent from the very first second. The cats won't know what hit them, but they'll have plenty of time to think about it on the plane home!

Is that what PT call the trains to Geebung. Hopefully the passengers wish it was a plane to get home even quicker after Melbourne give then a good beating.

    I've had such an insane work week I haven't stopped to really think about the game... until the last few hours. And now it's hitting me and I'm nervous as hell! 

    I agree with Murphy, I think this game will be a smashing one way or another. I hope it is us smashing them! 

    I'm feeling quite comfortable about the result. These guys are on a mission for payback for earlier this season. My win/loss feelings have been quite accurate this year. Enjoy the night with the majority of the crowd supporting the dees.

    Love to wipe the smirk of that [censored] Chris Scott’s face.

    A close friend is related to him and I have had to shut my mouth with her this week. Win tomorrow and I'm sure I will forget myself. She's cool - I hope.

    " Blow them away"  was Bob's final summary of what the MFC will do tomorrow night  and Whately reluctingly agreed that the game would be over well before the final siren.

    What I'm looking forward to is ... who is our new finals hero? Or heroes. Who will rise to the occasion? Who will make a name for themselves as a "finals performer"? Tracc? J Smith? Nev? Jones? Hoping for a bit of a smokey.

    Harmes and my favourite Trac.

    I'm sure Razor Ray will look after his new "bestie" Angus Brayshaw.

    Smart and sensible changes. 

    It's a strong side and one that can put the Cats to sleep for 2018 if we choose to. 

    Can't wait for tomorrow night!

    Agree. Yeah, I haven't been a fan generally, but he's done a couple of nice things here and there, but the reality is that Hannan is more likely to hit the scoreboard. JKH has some work to do, but can have a solid crack at it in 2019, especially with a few more games this year.

    Perfect changes, LETS GET IT ON!

    Absolutely. There's a lot of hype right now (probably a scary amount), but the reality is that the stage is set. We've got everything we need. The boys believe. We believe.

    This feels right!!!

    Really disappointed for JKH

    But a solid team at the pointy end of the season 

    I agree GYM, but I reckon that's our best available team. Yeah, it's a very tough call on JKH, but that's what happens when you have a list that runs deeper than what we have become used to at Melbourne.  On a positive note for Jay, I reckon he has earned himself a new contract beyond 2018, where that seemed unlikely a couple of months ago.  Good on him!

    • 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?

    • 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.
