Ha, ha. Which one? Perhaps all three!

equilibrium - a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced,

                       a state of physical balance,

                       a calm state of mind.

He actually forgot his underwear before the 1999 French Open, and didn't want to take up his coach's offer of wearing his, so he played without any. Because he won he decided to never wear underwear again!

I guess there was none for sale at the tournament ?  frilly knickers, non ?

    That would be coaching 101 to have T Mac playing as a defender tonight.

    Coaching 101 is also not to start throwing players around because the whole team is under-performing, or to start shuffling players who are down on form.

    (Though with May, Lever and O'Mac out, and the next generation not ready, the rule book could be ripped up.)

    King of the bleeding obvious- Cameron Ling. "Melbourne must win tonight." Spare me.

    Painful isnt it....

    Interested to see if we stick to the zone defence guarding space. Never liked it because requires everyone to know exactly where to position themselves and be able to adjust on the go with awareness of what's happening around you. Don't have the confidence that all our players have the smarts or instinct for this...

    T Mac and Frost walked out together, warmed up together for a while, walked back in together chatting the whole way.

    Backline Bros tonight?

    With any sense... straight to the pub !!

    Any reason why after years of linking arms around each other’s shoulder for the national anthem and Anzac ceremony we decided not to do it this year?

    So does that mean we're left with Weids and Bull up front? It won't matter how many i50s we have tonight in that case.

    Depends how we use it going forward, and how often we make a contest.  If we can at least break even in a marking contest and get it to ground, you would hope the additions of Garlett and Lockhart would go someway to helping us create some pressure and to keep the ball locked in there, which is what we want.

    But if we bomb it to 2 or 3 on 1s, then we're in trouble.  Big trouble.

    I saw that and thought instantly 'I wonder which poster will bring that up on Demonland?'.

    You didn't disappoint.  Means nothing.  We did it last year and lost, so it makes no difference.

    I was thinking Lockhart goes back as the Jetta replacement. We'll know soon enough. I don't have much faith in us doing anything other than bomb it in at the moment.


    Any reason that woman interviewing Hardwick was wearing a Dressing Gown? budget cuts...

    I'd love to see T Mac down back tonight.  I know he has the odd brain fart moments, but he brings some experience and we know he can match it with the best.  It might help to bring back some confidence in his game as well.

    Needs to find some form somewhere why not.  T Smith out of the square.

    Low long raking kicks get there quicker and create more chaos.  Quick bail out kick if no early options coming inside is ok but at least go long & low so the opp can't intercept as easy and chaos when it hits the deck...

    Good luck Demons!

    • 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.
