An article in today's Age on the North Melbourne win and Brown's bag of goals states " North's final round opposition comes in the form of pitiful Melbourne. The medal is Brown's to lose"

I just hope we pick a side that is passionate enough to show some fight and pride and provide some glimmer of hope for we long suffering supporters.

We  won"t! Just watch Oscar if fit line up on him!

Fred Fannings record of 18 goals is there for the taking!!

    For those that are going to Blundstone, prepare for 25 minute waiting time for a beer or pie and 15 minute waiting times to take a leak. I shudder to think of the waiting time for the ladies...

    A disgrace of an AFL venue.

    Also be prepared to wait 25 minutes for Melbourne to score a goal each Qtr so co-ordinate your movements.

    put spargo on brown and we can all back brown to win the coleman.

    Not a bad idea.

    Was also hoping we'd rest Gawn this week and give little Charlie the gig on Goldstein.

    Is our 186 defeat in danger of getting beaten? 

    If it is, Goodwin should clear out his office and say his farewells.

    Oscar McDonald should play.

    Will give Sideshow Bob an escort to each of his 20 marks, and gives us a tall to stand the mark for each of the 15 goals he kicks.

     

    Sounds like Max will play (?WTF??!!).

    Chandler is out with a broken finger (how many times did Goody have to slam it in the locker, do you reckon?)

    SHould play Preuss and OMAc.  Play Max forward, Omac on McFlopper and Frosty on Norton.

    Presumably O'Mac and Petty come back in for ... whoever. We need some height, and they're the only ones left standing. One goes forward, one goes back, take your pick.

    Preuss ... maybe, he's been so underwhelming. Depends on Max.

    Rather see Spargo in the team at CHBack than have OMac back in the team...anywhere at all!

    Dont rest Max its the last game of the season, it would mean a lot to not get destroyed.

    Insanity. 

    Rest the f$&@ out of Gawn (and Lever). 

    Further to this, if Max does play and sustains a serious hamstring injury, Goodwin gets the sack immediately.

    Looks like anyone who is fit will play.  Bring on Saturday afternoon so this nightmare year is over

    Salem and Hibbo both in the rehab group today apparently. Could just be a light run given the time of year of course, but Salem surely in big doubt.

    Out 

    1. Inept Coaching
    2. Inept selections
    3. Players that clearly are not and never will be up to it ( That accounts for about 7 )

    In 

    1. Man on man footy
    2. Selections that include TALLS
    3. Inspirational Captaincy
    4.  Gut busting running and tough footy

    Who ever is still standing..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Get ready for a 10 goal loss, or more. The Kangas will murder us, for sure.

    I reckon they will think they have it won already and could be vulnerable....

    Footy can become that way, '...anyone who is fit...' gets a guernsey; sad really. I cannot remember (ever) feeling this way about a footy season - '...so this nightmare year is over...'

    If the MFC turns a corner with form and game readiness, I will renew membership after the 5th round of the 2020 fixture.

    What I'd really like to see is players who dominate at Casey play in the seniors in the same positions in which they dominate the seconds. In other words, I'd like to see what ANB and JKH might do as proper on-ballers rather than being played in different positions. I'm not sure who else, but I've never understood why they aren't given that opportunity or, conversely, why they don't play at Casey in the role they are expected to play in the seniors.

    • 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.
