    Yes, a tad scarred after the last predictions. Going light early on.

    Harmes to join the leadership group.

    Pickett nominated for goal of the year.

    I know it's only a prediction but there is no logic in Trac's one.

    More likely to be an AA than above.

    And to make a Prelim we would have needed him to star.

    Youthfulness and inexperience will limit how far we go, so no premiership. But we will at times put the fear of god into other teams.

    Dees make it to the GF against Brisbane Lions  

    Go into the final quarter with a 35 point lead. 

    Extend that lead by kicking the first four goals, stretching it to a 59 point, unassailable lead. Tears begin welling in the eyes of all Demons supporters. 

    Two minutes till full time. 

    Aliens arrive out of nowhere and begin attacking the earth. 

    Nobody hears the final siren over the panic.

    Turns out there was a whole planet of aliens who were Demons supporters and they only came to celebrate. Melbourne membership goes to a record 2.3 million in 2021 with a new category, intergalactic membership.

    As i have said for the last 49 years....

    Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

    Finals appearance with at least one win feels like about par given 17 18 & 19.  Anything less a bogey.  Anything more a birdie etc.

    2021/22 premiership window should be well open (subject to injuries and 2020 coaching /player efforts/performance).

    • 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.
