If Preussy kicks a couple, gets 11 touches and 13 hit outs (as 2nd ruck) as he did in his first game last year he will be well on his way to earning his spot. 

I'll measure Preuss's performance not so much by his stats, but by how influential Grundy is, or, preferably, is not. If Grundy's name doesn't appear in the coaches' votes, I'll be satisfied.

    Don't think Pendlebury plays. Wait and see though.

    Have we seen a hard tag at all this year? I feel like its out of vogue currently with so many teams having an even spread of midfielder. Prime example being ours.

    Tactics very important for this game. Likely to be a low scoring slog in the damp.

    Pies will go in favourites but it will be a toss up. About time we had some luck perhaps.

    On another point, pre season I posted that 8 wins would save Goodwin.That was based on a 22 game season.With a 17 game season he's safe with 6 wins so I think we can soon put that issue aside until next year.

    Fanciful if you think 8 wins would save him from 22 games.

    Long time since I played footy but will never forget the season when I suffered a quad injury. It was painful trying to kick the ball and I ended up missing four matches. When I came back, I felt a niggle as I ran onto the ground after half time and when I got a kick, the same pain was there but worse. Missed the finals and was still having pain in the quad area well into summer.

    Advice to Pendlebury: give it a rest for another week. 

    Advice to Pendles: run out for this important match, blow up in the first contest, spend the match on the bench, out for 6 weeks.

    Didn’t think Pendles would play. He and Sidebottom have to be stopped, as they are the main goal assist players  for the Pies. 

    Any chance Goodwin could possibly think about putting Harmes on sidebum. Who knows he might even find some form ffs.

    Preuss to do a Mumford and squash Sidebottom flat the first time he attends a centre bounce

    8 wins fmd you are a easy marker Diamond. 
    Make finals and he stays otherwise on ya bike. 

    Will be three changes with Viney and Lockhart in with Preuss. 


    How's everyone else's MFCSS?  Must win, season defining game against Collingwood.  Had a couple of nice wins, media starting to talk us up a little bit again.  Playing a team who has been out of form.  Reeks of a classic MFC stinker coming up.

    Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.  Gee I hope I'm wrong and we have turned a corner.  I love nothing more than beating these guys.

    No chance we tag 2 players.

    Like the Idea of Preuss, he is fresh, he will blow up but he can bang into an already tired Grundy, even if it is for 10-15mins a quarter, Preuss is a big unit and just needs to be physical against Grundy, then let Tmac run him off his legs.

    One thing to note with playing Pruess is how GWS have played Mummy against Grundy the last couple games with good success. Mummy is not really interested in getting the tap out his job it to bash into Grundy and  atke him out of the contest and limit his follow up work and clearance strength

    Sidebottom has been in poor form. I doubt he warrants a hard tag. Maynard is their play maker so will need to shut him down.

    I reckon lose this game and it’s curtains for season 2020. Sadly injuries have struck at the worst time and of course Pies are welcoming back players.

    Hoping he has worked on his marking though, had some clangers last year.

     

    rain forecast, don't think it will be a marking day (luckily for preussy)

    Burgo said on the MFC site that there’s a scratch match against Collingwood (both clubs are in the Maroochydore hub) for the reserves players which would provide some insIght into who will play in the main game. 

    If there are any track watchers up on the Sunshine Coast, this is your opportunity to be the first with the news.   

    Demons won the game by 8 goals. That’s all the info that I have at the moment.

    They still will have Treloar, DeGoey, Howe, Sier, Roughead,, Quaynor and Langdon missing. Pendles could still pull out. 

    I think back to that last game in 2017, where we had to win to make the finals, against a depleted Pies side and we lost playing a shocker. That has been our mantra over the last 20 years.

    I’m with you mate. 

    We’re 0/5 in big tests this year.

    Would be easily the clubs biggest and meaningful win since 2018.

    Given game times are about 20% shorter, he's not actually far off his average. 

    Saw a post on a Collingwood site that Stephenson has been dropped!

    • 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.
