    I really want to see Langdon stop and prop to assess his options today. Brad Hill is someone who does this well and when you have that acceleration you don't need to just run off the moment you get the pill.

    Cue the trade-in May vs. pick King comparisons 

    There is no comparison. King will be a star for the next 10 years. May was what we needed at the time. 
     

    Tmac to toe a behind for a 4th qtr last play victory that catapults our season!

    Yep his ball use has been trash and a major disappointment. Because other than his ball use, I’ve loved his run and spread and his speed on the wing. But he lets himself down with execution and decision making time and time again. 

    Melksham needs a big game today if he wants to retain his spot. When he plays well we play well forward of the Centre so fingers crossed he can pull a finger out today.

    I'll preface this by saying yes, I know, all that stuff since 1964 and over the past 18 months. But even before the media pile-on I detected something different in the players as they walked from the field after our last match, heads hanging lower than usual, and then also in the post-match presser with Goody. They are frustrated with themselves. Relocating operations interstate is undoubtedly difficult, but I think this week is a character test. Line in the sand stuff. If they don't come out firing then I'm not sure what hope we have.  

    Carn the Demons!!

    Big games expected from Viney, Oliver and Melksham

    As long as we continue to look to draw a ‘line in the sand’ we’ll continue on with the mediocrity mentality. 
    We need to be at peak mentality at all times.

    get ready for stress and excitement for 3 hours

    I've got a cherry coke to keep me happy if we lose  

    Was Lockhart practicing his [censored] golf swing during the warmup? Is this under 10s?

    I have no expectation of winning this, but here we go.

    I miss watching the set shot kicks for goal before a game while I eat a four n twenty pie. 

    They will miss it when they count

    I feel that it's reasonable to resort to cliches while trying to amp myself up for a game I've been pretending all week not to care about.

    Can we assess, hold up when needed,  look around and pick the right options.  Then hit them up particularly up forward?

     

    Do we play that ridiculous front half zone tonight as per the Cats and last year against the Tigers?  Hopefully that's well behind us and we bring the pressure intensity on our oppenent through the corridor.

    Can the Weid take a few grabs, get involved and hit the scoreboard?

    How does Harley go?

    Do Salem and Melk finally show "SOMETHING"!??

    Good luck fellas and lets hope we pull a finger or two out.

     

    Visible change in game style so far. Let's see if it continues.

    • 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.
