NON MFC: Round 18

Lucifers Hero
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

When all is said and done, we were stitched up in Round 16 when the Bulldogs came off a bye and a long break to play the Eagles at Metricon off a 5 day break with Natanui pulling out late. They won by 2 points and their last goal just got through the score review by a fingernail. Next day, we lose to the Dockers off a 4 day break. We needed only one of those results to go the other way and we play finals.

Now we need a miracle to make the finals and get to play the Eagles in Perth.

    I knew it was Gil's fault

    Thank you for spelling out the details

    Save money, AFL, and abolish umpires. The game couldn't possibly suffer from it

    I disagree, turn it into a money spinner. Let's start celebrity umpiring, with a whole TV reality show. I mean if they refuse to be professional about umpiring, why don't they go the complete reverse? Imagine the possibilities.

    I'm imagining ...

    Every week, one team randomly draws the hanging judge ... the hanging judge awards every free against that team

    At half time, the team in front can replace one umpire of their choice with another umpire of their choice

    Viewer poll ... vote for the next  free kick and what it is

    Each captain has a free free kick they can call at any time of the match, anywhere on the field.

    Umps in WCE home games and all Hawks games can mark the ball, handpass it, kick for goal as if they were players for that team (not too different from now, but here it's out in the open)

    Ok so we need port to win tomorrow, then the pies have to go to perth and play west coast, west coast win and put them out of the finals. Job done. 

    I can't help but feel if we won another game it would be the filth sitting 9th

    Now we're getting somewhere. Think of the TV ratings, more ad breaks than ever before, the revenue Gil, the revenue!

    Playboy Bunnies as umpires. They have more brains than the lot we have now.

    I am watching the game on CH7, can anyone tell me how many goals De Goey has kicked in his last 2 matches?

    Is it just me or does Alastair Lynch gasp for air between sentences way too much? Sounds like he’s about to cark it.

    Enjoy your trip to Perth Collingwood. Hope you get thrashed. 

    The positive for C/Wood is at least Bucks and Sando can get in a game of tennis.

    I thought BT excelled himself tonight, in great form coming into finals.

    I honestly didn't think he could get any worse than he has been this season.

    I was obviously wrong.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
