    Was lying in bed cursing this faruking lockdown and trying to remember A: what day it is and B: what appointment I had after 4pm today. After checking my reminders and a bit of light surfing, I realized we are playing at 4 something or other today. What a strange time to play footy midweek

    Alas there will be no smoking meat for Josh today, I'll be farming the pig instead of eating it, but go the Dee's none the less.

    Do have a nice big brisket lined up for father's day morning though.

    Game day !!! Had forgotten until I saw the thread! 
    How many times can Dees supporters think off where we’ve won the difficult game ( aints ),  only to give back any advantage , by losing the supposed easier game?

    We won’t want to let our guard down this arvo !!!

    The Swans can’t score and our defence is peaking, there’s no way we can lose this game. Sydney by 27.

    I see there's a bit of MFCSS virus still lurking about Uncle.  Nothing a good Shiraz won't flush out!

    I'd recommend giving it a fair shake well before the bounce.  Finished the remainder of my Wolf Blass grey off on the weekend PRIOR to the match and it worked a treat... anxiety quashed!

    I'm having flashbacks of our loss to them in 2018, but I feel as though we've matured since then.  Plus our back line and overall team defence are in a better spot as well.

    Dees by 5 goals.

    4:40pm on a Thursday, I could get used to this.

    They are missing a significant amount of good players from that team.

    I am a little concerned about Papley. Im not sure who gets the gig but I hope they shut him down.

    One day Weid is going to breakout and kick a big bag of yummy goodies. Hope it is today.

    Funny time slot. We better win because its not a good look being 3 sheets to the wind b4  5.

     

    6 goal margin in our favor which is the same number that Weid kicks as well as the number of comfort franks I eat b4 halftime and the square root of Oliver's possies.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Things to watch for:

    Are we running hard enough to defend and reset the zone behind the ball?  This is a key indicator if we are on our game or not.

    Are we winning the contest / clearance?  For a team that prides itself on this, we have sucked at this for many weeks now.

    Do we have reasonable disposal to advantage, or do we play hot potato?  One works, the other makes me want to spew.

    Do we have enough presence forward of the ball to offer a suitable target (s)?

    Honestly, if we lose this one, we only have ourselves to blame.  Think it will be 42 points Dees win.

    What will the conditions be like? 

    26° at game start and maybe 23° at games end. Humidity is forecast to be 68% which is typical winter conditions up here. 
    Breeze blowing to the northern end. It will be a good coin toss for Max to win

    • 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 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.
