Are we a chance for our lowest ever live television ratings today? 

The demonland podcast live audience numbers might give it a nudge.

I for one will be watching it live. Cant wait. 

My weekend will be a lot more peaceful not sweating on a match. And we only have to wait till Monday night for the next game!

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 shall certainly act on that advice Rusty

Nice leather seat option on the Range Rover there Northern! 

Leather, an option! It is compulsory my good man. Air-conditioned leather is the option.

Have to admit the changes have left me a little flat and very uninspired.  Pickett out I understand first year player but he brings some level of excitement to our side, ANB is plain boring and offers little.  Smith, I think can play needs a period to adjust to AFL speed, Fritsch/Hannan same but different, Fritsch is a marking forward that can kick goals, Hannan offers a lot more on the defensive side, a lot less on the attacking.

Harmes/AVB both try hard, lack the decision making and disposal skills.

If we keep the Swans in the game, I'm worried that youthful confidence will beat us, they have a lot of talented younger players with some seasoned mids that can shut our midfield down.


Who would have guessed that after the Bulldogs game that we would be playing footy in SEPTEMBER.?

The least excited I've been about a Joel Smith inclusion since he joined the club. I feel as though he's purely in the side based on need and short turn arounds and less on his form in the practice matches/training. Either way I hope that means he has a good game.

Unfortunately for Joel the backline is pretty deep this season at the medium-tall back positions. This along with poor run of injuries has really stunted his development at AFL level. Looking for him to really show something with the opportunity tonight.

It’s a day for role playing and sticking to the system: working them over methodically and then going over them in the last quarter. Hopefully ?

One small step by the Demons ...

One LARGE step for DEMONLAND!

I think @willmoy is from up FNQ as well. Are you going mate?

Looking forward to those going keeping us up to date on this thread


Very interested to see how Tomlinson goes re pointed to the wing. 

We are playing an injury depleted Sydney outfit. The only way we won't be ahead at the final siren, is if we are already ahead of ourselves. 

It's fantastic that AFL and FTA partners consider Melbourne supporters are again more interested in 4.00 News  and The Chase on 7

Medical Emergency, Storage Wars, American Pickers on 7-2  or Graveyard Cars andBargain Hunt on 7Mate.

Wouldnt want to interrupt this essential viewing with a game unwatched by demon fans.

Of course everyone knows that Melbourne Football club members and supporters all watch their game on pay TV, sipping their whisky with their feet up in the ski lodge they drove to in their Jaguar.

Im missing the skiing but would have been able to interrupt the outdoor physical activity to watch it in the bar of Zirkys in any normal season.

It's back to the radio coverage here as of course no outlets (pubs)in our regional areas are open for business with the now luxury of any pay tv options.

Oh well at least we'll get to see them on TV on grand final day. Get there Dees 

4:40pm on a Thursday! I just had to quickly block out the time in my work calendar so nobody sneaks a late afternoon meeting in.

I just want 4 points, and given our percentage is already healthy, I wouldn't be against managing a few players through the game if we are in a comfortable position. Tough 9 days coming up.

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

It was unusual that the saints smashed us in centre clearances and we won. If we had dominated in this area we would have won by a big margin. 

Im sure we will turn this aspect around today.

Have a ripper, non-Netflix time. Watch the Dees beat the Feathered Ones, what a dream. Pies, beer and football - nothing could be better.

But I don't drive a Jaguar. Other than that you nailed it.

PS. The snow is melting quickly.

I reckon we will have a down game over the last few rounds as we don’t have a bye and the short turnarounds and heat. 

I will be impressed if we turn up and smack Sydney but I won’t be surprised if this is a slog. As least for the first three quarters

Is Kayo an option for you?  Or AFL live pass for a game by game option?

I feel your pain, I’m not quite sure how I survived before Kayo.  I remember having an AFL live subscription watching the games with my family huddled around my iPad.

Wasn't aware of this. Is it available on replays?

I'm having flashbacks of our loss to them in 2018, but I feel as though we've matured since then. 

That was the last game Jesse Hogan played for the Demons.

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

Your predictions are the best. 

Looking forward to a repeat of a Richmond like game from last night.

Irrelevant game unless we lose.

Had assumed it is a night game. Trade winds up north can be quite strong during the afternoon. Would hate to see a 4.11 score !!

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
