An interesting take on it. 

I think our guns will beat their guns . That is too say a cracking game awaits. Still think it's us by 18 but it will be a topsy turvy affair. 

West Coast wouldn't want to suffer another player going down early....that'd be a damn shame ?

Maybe though if it's Kaos v Control footy the score will be 99 to 86 ..or something lol

Yep...Eagles to miss by 'that much ' ;)

    Beat them there in 2017.  Beat them there 5 weeks ago.

    We will beat them there on Saturday.

    goal kicking and forward delivery will determine it in the end methinks.

    Midfields will make it tough and it will be who takes the chances.

    WCE probably ahead of us in raw scoring power

    AFL.com.au has picked us by 7 points.

    Should be a really interesting game. We need to win the midfield well, like last time. If we do that, we should win. If the midfield battle is even, things could get uncomfortable.

    Spot on RD. JK is a gun (a completely overused word but justified in this case IMHO) and Meth Coke have probably finished top two and not outside the eight due to him. He's under-appreciated on the East Coast IMHO. All this is a long way of saying that if they get it in the middle and can move it quickly in the JK direction - we've got real problems. I love Frosty and Oscar, but they are no match for Kennedy. Therefore we need to cut it off at the source. Brayshaw needs to have a big day IMHO. He just might be the key. If he gets it 30 times inside the square, we win. He's the closest we have to a 'kill you' player (that is a guy who every time he gets it he kills you - aka Martin, Cyril, Pendles, Nathan Buckley and Voss). 

    Please Angus . . . play the game of your life Son.

    FWIW . . . Robbie Flower was probably our last 'kill you' player.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
