    Tell them how it is done, Bazz.   Nev up to kick the winning goal deep into time on Q4?

    I think you're on to something there, Mono!  Has a nice ring to it!  (Although, to be honest, don't think my heart would survive that.  Would prefer we get a commanding lead before 3/4 time, and hold it through the last 1/4.)

    But, first we gotta get it done today.  Would be nice to put the crowd out of the equation by blowing them away in the 1st Qtr, lead by 7 goals at 1/4 time and extend the lead each 1/4 from there.

    I can dream!  (54 years gives one a lot of time to develop very wild dreams!!)

    GO DEES!!!!!

    Is one of those guys' Ch7's CEO who midyear (when the ratings were down) said something like:  "...all we need is to get Collingwood up and about..."

    He got his wish!!  Get ready for saturation Thur/Fri/Sat night Coll games on FTA ?

    Losing sides often look sh-thouse but it is usually the other side that causes that. It is not just that they played poorly, they were made to play poorly by a better side on the night. 

    Credit when credit is due.

    Our frenetic pressure beat Cats, Hawks, WCE and GW$

    Hi Red,

    Rance can do some brilliant things, fair enough, but with respect disagree re having in the side; Davis, Stewart, Hurn, Laird, McGovern are all players I would love before Rance, his acting really irritates the bejeezus out of me. 

    He tri d and failed several times to milk frees that he would often have got ..... locked the look of amazement.  Rather like Selwood, Dangerfield, Hawkins and Ablett when they missed out on frees they felt that they surely deserved.

    Couple of things out of the game.

    Noticed quite a number of non handballs that were tap on with the open hands, sometimes in a row by Coll.

    Noticed lots of unpaid free kicks, in packs, in backs and high. So a lesson to tomorrows Umpires or just wishful thinking,

    Were the players happy with Dustin, i wonder because should he have declared not fit?

    So many incorrect disposal  not paid both ways

    Not sure why people are talking about playing the Pies, they are in it, we aren't.

    Based on tonight's form, can't imagine any Dee who wouldn't have preferred paying Richmond next week. 

    Either way, we still gotta get through the Eagles and that's a huge ask at Optus. Play the same game at the MCG and we'd smash em. 

    Please get the job done Dees!! 

    Honestly,  I'd always rather play a team that looked bad in a loss: the form team always goes through. 

    The question is: did Collingwood already play their grand final?

    wow .. there are some weird vibes here about playing Collingwood.

    IF we win today it will give us the opportunity to write history.

    The bookend theory would do more for this club than any can imagine. It's a marketer's dream.

    Go West and Conquer young Demons !!!

    Whoever wins today must stop Coll winning the GF - it will be their 16th flag equal with Ess and Carlton.

    Hopefully it is us but they must be stopped!

    Are the random drug tests done after the club song or before it?

    Yes, Pies played well but after about the !st 15 minutes Tiges went completely into  their shell and became completely reactive. Once you do that in this game it's game over. They were pretty much out numbered at the contest from then on. As long as we do our homework and don't fold like the Tiges we are a big chance if we win today.

    • 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.
