3 upsets so far:  Ess d GWS.  Nth d Pies.  WBD d Power. 

Today might make it 4 upsets with a Dees d Lions!

Glad we had only one change.  Time to settle the team and get some synergy going among fwd, backs, middle and synergy with ball movement end to end. 

Optimistic that we can click today; if we do we win!

    5am wake-up call but the maid won't be around till at least the last quarter. I'll have to fix my own Irish whisky.

    I live 700 metres from the Gabba.  Clear blue sky right now although we had a couple of heavy showers overnight. Have had some rain most days this week so the deck may be a little slippery. Predicting 25 degrees though and no doubt for you southerners up here for the game, it will be sunscreen, shorts and polo shirts!  ? 14 degrees in Melbourne today.......

    Hope to catch up with a few of you either at the German Club pre match or the Pineapple post game.

    Are we ready for Frost-Ball?

    If the Lions are to play finals at least make them  earn their place. Hopefully last week instilled some confidence in our team and we go out there and play some decent footy. Keen to see if the young gun Andrews goes to Weid. 

    Big Call- Weid to kick 3+.

    Have a big fat weisenstaphaner and a schnapps for me @ProperDee

    first time in a long time I won't be making the two hour trip to the Gabba.

    I just can't be sure what they're going to dish up but here's hoping we've got the wheels back on.

    Looking forward to more beast mode from Viney. Go Dees

    This may sound optermistic but if we win today we are only 3 games behind them and 2 games out of the 8 .Can only dream we can still make finals

    Geez, I had hoped to get up there for this game. I had planned to impose on rellys for free accommodation and grog but, sadly, it fell through.

    I was confident of a victory last week and am even more confident this week. 

    I shall enjoy my own booze and celebrate ( in my typical style)  at The Manor.

    Contrary to your arrangement BBO she's the type who'd be far more likely to be handing out the jolly good spanking.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Win today and we are still in the hunt. A long shot, but still alive. 

    Go Hard Demons...

    I give us a chance but think the bears will be hard to beat on their own dunghill.

    Our percentage is quite poor. Even if we win we won't move up at all.

    Both jealous and proud of any Vic based dees supporters that have made a weekend away to fly the flag and watch this one. Wish I was with you. I’m bloody freezing.

    Yep and start winning big.


    Great day up here and the ground should be fast by start time. Reckon we have a big chance here. Bring the pressure, win contested ball and the clearances and win it will be. Lions played circle work last week as Saints put no pressure on and a couple of weeks ago Lions were ordinary against Blues. Go Dees.

    We are right on the edge, big time. But i expect to see the Club fight hard, i went to all those games in 1987. 

    The scenario could happen again. 

    A win on the road can galvanise belief. 

    I think we will do well today...

    Today we will be reminded that we’re a mediocre football team. 

    8 goal whacking coming our way.

    Im predicting a win for the second week in a row.

    Not at all confident, but there you go.

    I hope you have TV coverage in The Azores @Skuit. I will be listening on internet radio from Thailand* 

    *Not a brag at all coz if i was home i could actually watch the game. At least the food is good here.

    • 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 ... 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.
