Neither Brisbane or Geelong to make the 8? He's delusional.

    Can't see Sydney making it.

    Also could see Geelong drop out this year, ageing stars at the end & the loss of Kelly...

    ...and unconvinced by Port.

    I thought everyone hated Kane Cornes cos he always bags us and doesnt rate us?

    17th to 5th would be an amazing turnaround

    it's actually the opposite if you listen to Kane he does back us he thinks in 2018 we should have won the premiership

    Putting the Dees aside for a second, I like that he's got the guts (unlike Dal Santo who said the 8 wouldn't change) to declare three changes to the final 8 - and there will be three changes to the 8 if you look at prior years.

    One of West Coast, Richmond, Collingwood, GWS or Brisbane will miss finals this year. Lock it in.

    Can’t see that happening but ill take it. 

    I can see it happening just based on the following games played last season by key players -

    Jetta 7
    May 8
    Lever 8
    Melksham 12
    T Mac 15

    Amazing that our 3 gun backmen played a combined 23 games.  Out two most important forwards missed large chunks of the season.    
     

    We are in prime position to rise up and get back into the finals....   god I hope it happens, 2018 was so much fun.  Its all about finals.  Nothing beats playing in September.

    Kelly out is a huge loss for Geelong. With Selwood declining, I have them dropping out. Sydney will finish bottom 8.

    I have to admit I love how Kane goes about it. Yes he can be a pain in the [censored] but he cops it right back. Love him or hate him, at least you will get an honest opinion from him.

    Not sure if it’s just me but I find Dal Santo adds nothing to my footy knowledge and is boring as bat poo.

    Only if clubs start learning how to beat them down at GMHBA stadium.

    Apparently it’s also been a “very, very good week for us” according to ol Kane - https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/02/27/cornes-hails-melbournes-exceptionally-good-week/

    He’s the equivalent of a shock jock at best, but I found it interesting him saying leadership groups are overrated. It’s not often you hear that coming from someone who has been inside the inner circle at an AFL club.

    I was confident we'd make the top 8 until I read the heading on this thread.  Damn him!

    He has either:

    1) Not watched a single episode of ‘To hell and back’.

    2) Refuses to acknowledge that he jumped the gun with his criticism and has a problem with the title, not the content.

     

    Weirdly though, Cornes in his media role has consistently rated the Dees- I think we were his premiership tip last year and he was all over us in 2018.

    Leadership groups are useless if they're not doing it on the field.

    Not just you. Tries so hard to sound intelligent but just come off as over-analyzing and petty.

    • 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?

    • 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.
