Almost forgotten the meaning of gameday .. I reckon if we actually display the speed and toughness evident in the selection, we will cr@p it in.

Inside 50’s:

Cats - 13

Melb - 64

    We will lose if we score the first 8 goals of the game.

    It probably won't be far off. Hawkins to kick 5 straight, Fritta to kick 1.7.

    As is almost always the case it'll be about which Melbourne decides to turn up. 

    Yep and that’s why I start drinking bundy select vat now. 
     

    It’s much easier watching the dees play with a few beverages prior to and during the game. ?

    Cheers to everyone ?

    What a lovely day in the Ranges, took the little lads out for some bike park/playground fun. Getting pumped for the game, come on here to check game day..... ppppfffttt who am I kidding I think we’ll struggle. Not enough cohesion with the season/players selection to date.

    As long as we are there in spirit is important.

    Dees, by 32 points. New-look forward line very impressive. Vanders and Tracc give the Catty Puts the nervous Nellies. Danger off the field for medical reasons. Carna Dees.

    One thing that will really annoy today, if Hibberd keeps kicking his long bombs to no one that seem to hang in the air forever, allowing the defenders to zone off.  Has he lowered his eyes ever ?

    Not just Hibberd but we can't afford to bomb the ball at all...it plays into the Cats biggest strength...but spread their defence and they are in real trouble.

    I hope we deploy melk as a lock down forward again, I reckon one of their big strengths has been stewards intercepting or at a minimum interrupting forward movement. I'd get melk to take him deep and away from contests as much as possible, without Taylor I think this is an area we could exploit

    Following on from the above point. Stewart is key to their attack from defence, if it's not Melk then it has to be AVB. We cut Stewart out and we're a long way to winning this game.

    I dunno, maybe the year he got All Australian?

    Nice to see all the 'supporters' up nice and early, lovely day to be so [censored] miserable

    Just watch the game, then we can have multiple pages of post game angst, no matter the result

    I need to get me some of those rose coloured glasses McQueen. 

    It makes everything the demons do on and off field so much better ?.

    I am going to, get ready to watch the game at local pub

    Nice chicken parma, few schooners of summer able, hopefully watch an entertaining game 

    A Melb win, looking forward to seeing AVB and Hannan, black, sad Nev is not out there, form dropped a bit

    Nobody will die if we lose, it is only footy

    I've tipped us. 

    On paper they look very good, but I think if Gawn can get on top we should be able to control the game. 

    My biggest worry is who is going to kick goals? Would love Tmac to kick a few, he needs some confidence badly

    It’s a bizarre season and I reckon points on the board early is going to be more important than ever. 
     And ..... as one A Clarkson said , “ Geelong aren’t that good “ !!!!!!

    Trouble is, we aren’t that good either.

    I reckon we should keep bombing it into the 50, eventually the players will click.

    • 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?

      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.
