I think we will win today.

Come at me bros.

 

Also have a gut feeling we’ll win. Not much logic involved, just a feeling.

That forward line gets me about as pumped as a two day old party balloon. Freo by 27 points.

Clarry v Fyfe and May v Hogan head to head will be fun to watch though.


A game a half average team should win. Playing an interstate team at home after a week rest. However unless it Carlton or Suns I have zero confidence particularly as Freo unlike us has the making of a pretty good team. They knocked off Collingwood so cant see them to worried about Melbourne. Whilst you always want to win in some way it will take more losses to wake this club out of it complacency and accept major change is needed. For the long term winning more game like this will just assign this year as unlucky and once luck return we will be competitive. Essendon have fallen for this trap and with our player and coach set up irrespective of winning a few game now how can you be confident of the future. 

Watch out for the New Rules........... run as far as you like, push the nearest opposition player into crowd whenever the opportunity arises, talk lovingly to opposition and  the judiciary.

Cannot fail....

Best of luck to Jade Rawlings in his first game back as forward line coach.

Heres hoping his influence has us kick 15+ goals and win by at least 4.

    I don’t believe we will win today. That said, I’m that far behind in my tipping comp I’ve gone for us. 

    Strategy. 

    I’m fully expecting a great game from No 11.........and I’m sure Max will also play a blinder....

    We’ve gone from $1.85 to $1.67 over night.

    Firstly why are we favourites?

    Secondly who had a big nibble on us last night and does he have some insider trading?

    I have no idea what to expect today.  A good start and kicking straight would help.

    So are people going to boo jesse today? I'm annoyed he left but with what he has been through i get it. I won't boo but I'm hoping he has a shocking day. May and hogan will be a good matchup.  

    I also don't think it will be a great crowd

    My thoughts too.

    Hope he doesn’t get booed but hope he has a dirty and undisciplined day.

    Expecting not much more than we delivered against GWS but will be happy if wrong.

    The three outs have certainly deflated the interest in this match.

    Why would anyone boo Hogan... infantile to say the least for those who do.

    Crowd wise if we crack 20k we will do well.. certainly won't have to worry about having less than half a section to myself in the AFL members.

    Thought the same thing no way should we be favorite for this game.

    Things have been a tad chilly at Romsey of late.

    I intend venturing forth to the warmer clime of Melbourne and basking in a mighty Demon victory.

    If your as bitter as you are optimistic then I pity your friendship circle

    No way we will win this. MCG is turning out to be a jinx of a ground for us these days.

    It's part of the theatre of the sport. Don't take yourself too seriously.

    $1.65 now, some punters probably still think Jesse plays for us.

    “Friendship circle” ? Got me on that one Josh!

    However, I must be lucky today. Dropped into the club for a pre game warmup. The moment I entered the spa everyone else chose to leave. Same with the sauna. 

    Go figure!

    Today’s crowd number  will be the perfect example of why we play games in Darwin

    • 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?

      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.
