So the new successful structure is 2 ruckmen and a tall forward line. 

And thank god. I hope this "real footy" thing takes off instead of pressure madness because I love the way West Coast play. They smacked us last week too, so to see them win takes the edge off a bit.

    The last 3 premierships have been won by a Clarkson protege.  The previous 3 by Clarkson himself. 

    Not only is Clarkson a master coach he is a master at training coaches.  Reckon he wore a wry smile on the siren.

    They had a shot McGuires face after the game. It was wonderful. After hearing him go on all week about the filth I was glad at the result.

    We're going to just have to break that run then ;)

    How's the Collingwood cheer squad feeling right now about that banner...

    Actually genuinely feel sorry for them with that, no bigger day that it could’ve gone wrong for them.

    Was always on the cards given the way they play. Still didn’t stop me paying out on eagles supporters during the first quarter. 

    The Eagles were tiring too, around that same time.

    They were 5 goals up. That's some Collywobbles...

    First quarter quick blitz, then it settled down. 

    Meth Coke were garbage in the first 20 minutes

    And now delisted. ?

    Probably one of the footy department's few missteps over the last few years. Still, the same draft they brilliantly traded up to secure Oliver before Parish, so these things work out in the end. 

    How do you figure that.  We got it right.

    We got the trade up to get Oliver right but Howe for Kennedy wrong. That’s what he’s saying.

    The Pies seem to have this history of getting great deals from us, can we please turn one back around on the them!

    Anyway for now the tears of the Collingwood players will do nicely!

    Deserved winners, were the team who held their form most consistently through the year. Makes getting some extra marking power over the off season a smart move for the Dees. 

    Yes, thought their overall marking power was the difference

    Really thought I'd be ambivalent today but soon as the pies got ahead my hatred for them kicked in.

    I really hoped they'd lose a close one and it all came true.

    That eagles team song is an abomination.

    Hope we get to sing a real song next year.

    Yes. That song is awful

    Hopefully those who doubt we need a Steven May will have seen Kennedy’s influence in the GF and understand why we need a true gorilla-minder in our back six.

    I know what hes saying... what I'm saying is, to change a culture out, to build a fresh one,,,  a club has to cut strings with many experienced players... to change things.

    I put Howe in that basket.  No slight on Howe...  but it was a plus for us, to show balls to start making hard decisions.  The club had to grow its own balls, instead of leaning on the MCG, and all that stuff.

     

    It had to again when we rid ourselves of the less committed types, who weren't goers... to the displeasure of many supporters.  But we did, and look at the new-way we attack the contests, in this 2018 year.

    ... it's a breath of fresh air in the lungs of a stuffy old Mfclub.

    Bucks is the only part of the Filth I like.

    He's a class act 'chook'...pity he has to coach Coliingwood.

    Taking the time to console the cheer squad members before the game is the measure of the man.

    • 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.
