Good on ya Nev and well done and best of luck to the debutantes.  May you have a win first up.

Anyone else find these elbow bumps etc a bit of a futile exercise, considering the number of sweaty, salivating players in packs, tackling opponents and all touching the same footy?

    If the hoarders return all the toilet paper will things go back to normal?

    No. I'm either going to need all of it to either cry into if we lose tonight, or (as @Bitter but optimistic would say) give myself a jolly good flogging should we win.

    Bruise free football coming up for both teams... and fair enough. 

    There is genuinely no point playing.... perhaps someone can tell me what political mechanics allowed the football season to begin anyway.

    Leave it all out on the park tonight boys! Break a leg & she'll be right to go by rnd 2

     

    Go dees. 

    Thanks to all posters and huge thanks to Andy for keeping demonland going.

    I am always positive during the preseason. Exciting we get another one. By golly we will be fit!

    Go redleggers

    Nope, you can include all of WA in that Blood!

    Except you of course @Chook in Perth

    Two points and WC go coast to coast from kickouts without us getting a touch


    Bit late to the party but there’s nothing but strange feelings. Haven’t felt like this since the merger game in 96. 

    Poor kicking hurting us right now. 

    Nothing has changed from last year. Turnovers, short kicks to opposition. Unfunctional forward line.

    Oh no. That game i was very angry and [censored] off. This game is a lot more insignificant for me.

    OPPO waltzing out of the backline all day

    Social distancing in our forwardline going strong. Nobody getting near it.

    • 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.
