I love the attitude... [censored] picks. I just want wins, if that means 9th place finish with pick 10 as apposed to a pick 3 I really don't care. We can just draft another Christian Salem rather than a toumpassĀ 

Absolutely. We need more than anything else to establish a cultureĀ of winning.

We have had 55 years of not winning. Done that.

I would love it if we win enough game toĀ make 9th.

I look forward to the posts on DL bemoaning the crows and WC losses.Ā 

Look at our last effort to bottom out. Netted us money bags, trenners and the toump (sounds like a bad SA breakfast radio slot). All gone.

Win. Win. Win. i for one have watched enough bloody losses by my team.

    Not sure if many follow the NHL around here, but here is an optimistic story for every Demonlander.

    The St. Louis Blues were dead last in the NHL on January 3rd this year (that's 31 teams).Ā This was around the halfway mark of the season. They then went on a huge run, made it into the playoffsĀ and are now one game away from winning the Stanley Cup (series lead 3-2).

    Maybe we shouldn't give up just yet?

    Also [censored] the Bruins

    Did Lever get through todays training session??


    Man it is exciting having May and Lever in the 18.Ā 

    JKH bit stiff to miss out but he did butcher the ball. Hannan was more deserving of the chop but stays in for positional need and as he is a better player

    INT: Spargo - HibberdĀ  -Stretch - Preuss - Weed - ANB - Garlett - Wagner

    My guess: Hibberd, Weed, Garlett, ANB

    out Wagner, Spargo, Stretch, WagnerĀ 

    Contrary to popular opinion I don't agree with everything this FD does, I'm struggling to justify the Lever selection.Ā  If he doesn't get seriously re-injured then I guess they're vindicated.

    I like the ins. Would be happy to see Hore, Salem and may or lever back. Not sure if we should play both lever and may due to match conditioning.Ā 

    Im just happy that we no longer have to hear about Jack watts and his debut game and hear the pies people say it's our grand final.Ā 

    Ā 

    Ā 

    I know that teams rarely line up as selected but I do like Salem and Baker on the wings.Ā  Both have nice kicks, have composure and aim at targets rather random bombs.Ā 

    And add Fristch as the attacking defender and we should see a marked improvement in delivery i50 from all three.

    Agree 100%. I hated the tanking year then and still do. That Richmond game Is in my top 3 of the worst games I have witnessed. Win as many as possible and worry about the rest in September.Ā

    Have you seen the video of Lever's rehab in the USA?

    It made me cringe when I was watching the amount of force and twisting and turning he was putting on his knee - and that was in January!

    Not sure if the link works but that's great that the boys will be leading melbourne out. I did think it was something the club should do, it's only a small think but it could give the boys just a little lift. I thought it could be done at a home game, not sure why but queens birthday is pretty special though.Ā

    Settle down.Ā 

    Just down at Rye for the weekend and every second car in a very busy car park at woolies has demons member 2019 stickers on the back. Donā€™t think we we have many at the game come Monday ?

    PS no snow here so not sure what weā€™re all going to do for the weekend? Drink?

    Final bench for mine would be Hibberd, Weideman, Garlett and Spargo.Ā 

    In: Lever, May, Hore, Salem

    Out: Kennedy-Harris, O.McDonald, Stretch, J.Wagner

    Goody may go with Preuss instead of Spargo, but I donā€™t think so.

    Bingo!Ā

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ 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.
