Get around the show tomorrow morning Dees fans - we'll have ex-coach Paul Roos and current captain Nathan Jones on! That should be great especially to hear from roosy and nath on the atmosphere and how the game played out. 

Also apparently melbourne are opening a 1hr media session tomorrow, putting up every player that played friday night.

    I heard on Channel 9 Sunday Footy show today that the club would be making all 22 players from Friday’s game available to the media this week. This has me a bit worried. I hope it doesn’t distract players from the main game. We need to win the next game!

    Sport at this level is all about glory and I reckon it's great to give the boys a taste of what they're playing for. Make 'em even hungrier!

    I have a feeling this was pretty much done last week and didn’t have a negative impact.  May not have been all 22 but it seemed like most.

    This is the time for the club to get kids hooked into the team, we are not on free to air much, the last 12 years would not have attracted many kids, we have the characters in the team the kids love, get them out there.

    It’s actually quite good for training for future years. What I also love is that it is something they are doing together (everyone is important etc). Also means no extra pressure on one or 2 players. I really like the idea.

    As the OP stated it is only for a 1 hour session. They'll probably go light on media duties for the majority of players after that.

    A bit of 'feeding the chooks' as they say in the National Party.

    Get the media part done enough to keep everyone happy, then get back to focusing on the real job. Hopefully helps clear the noise from player's minds, 'That's done, don't need to think about that now.

    Great idea by the club, everyone wants a piece of the Dees, get it out the way early with all of them present and move on to Friday.

    I know people like to look for reasons why we lose, but i hardly think 1 hour of answering media questions when Monday is probably a light fitness day is hardly the worse thing in the world. Infact i doubt it has any impact on the weekend's game.

    The posters who had a meltdown over James Harmes post game interview after the Sydney loss scoff at your common sense.

    Melbourne are regularly praised for great player access and it hasn’t affected things so far.

    TMAC said this morning it gets all the media out of the way in one single hit, rather than stagger out all week and distract, pretty clever IMO especially with a young team. They did the same last week from memory.

    Plus it's one hour, in and out ,and you're done for the week. No more media, and you can focus on the game from Monday afternoon onwards. I think it's a great idea!

    We got some characters alright!!!!

    This could just be the story of the Season 2018 and beyond if someone in the Media realises it...i do not think i have seen such a blend of charismatic footballers in one Team (look at the others) and there is more outside the 22 to come in......it could be like a movie that hasn't been thought of yet.

    I don’t need a feed thanks - just the opposite.

    I remember the days where you didnt even have direct line recording. You had to tip toe out of the room otherwise you could hear it picked up on the tape.

    • 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.
