I don't know what I feel. I really don't. I go from calm and relaxed to worried and nervous in a couple of minutes and back again. But win or lose we are a top 4 side (or better), and I don't see that changing for many years. Most of our best are still kids, and will only get better.

    The terror you inspire and the pride of your heart have deceived you, you who live in the cleft of the rocks, who occupy the heights of the hill.Though you build your nests high as the eagle's, from there I will bring you down.

    Isn't that the book that's full of stories about casting out Demons.

    Problem is with Collingwood, even if we win, the media will be all over them. It will be the grand final Collingwood lost.

    Look at 2002. Hardly any photos of Brisbane’s victory. Just pages and pages of Malthouse and Buckley in tears.

     

    You're right, it will make it extra sweet

    Nothing like a bit of good old fashioned smiting. Bring it back.

    I can imagine a huge chant from the MCG members as we take the lead against Collingwood in the GF.

    SMITE, SMITE, SMITE, SMITE, ...... pause for small portion of King Island Blue with Quince paste..... SMITE, SMITE, SMITE. SMITE.

    I’m just out of the CBD in Mt Hawthorn and don’t really venture into the CBD except for work. A very short Uber or stroll into Leederville you have some good places for brekky and coffee.

    Last night's game did nothing for me. Would feel a lot better knowing if we lost the winner was playing Freo or something.

    Cracking day in the West! 

    The Dees will light up Optus and send Eagles feathers flying! I believe...

    Go for the jugular Dees! ??


    Just meditated for a few minutes. Suprisingly alot more calm relaxed now. Try it. We got this.

    If given the choice, would you rather lose today or next week?

     

    Next week. Not ready for this to end yet. Experiencing the big dance even if we lose would be great for the players too.

    Yeah that would well and truly be terrible. Depends if we got belted or if it was a close game etc

    Playing Collingwood would be a marketers dream.

    Bring it on

    Today, easily.

    Would prefer someone other than us be responsible for losing to Collingwood in a Grand Final.

    • 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.
