    Not sure what all the angst is about. Good sides win no matter where or when. Poor sides look for excuses. We will win both.

    we have a pretty good win rate in the meaningless games.

    It's the ones for points that we find harder

    Yes the other sides get serious.

    Still think a community series game in Airlie Beach would be a good idea.

    (not being selfish at all)

    I do get tired of the perfect weather and fantastic nightlife though.

    Nice!  Good test first up.  Freo should be very competitive next season and we traditionally do terrible in Round 1.

    We have to start winning on the MCG, our record there under Goodwin is shocking.

    Our draw has been kind and gives us the opportunity to create some momentum, get wins on the board early.  

    Freo, St Kilda, GWS and Hawks are must wins if we’re to have a crack at the Top 4. Win one of Geelong or Richmond and we’re 5-1 and well on track for the double-chance.

    Drop Geelong and Richmond and one other and its 3-3 and its just more of the same, inconsistent, mediocrity.  Anything less than 3 wins after 6 rounds and I’ll be calling for heads to roll.

    BB, Yze and Chocco are great additions and I reckon will give the group a real spur. Another pre-season with Burgess as well so I’m genuinely confident and think this group can deliver.

    Another Covid outbreak and the WA hard border has returned. 
     

    Will we even see the game against Freo given the quarantine period that may or may not be in place?

    Will the players be back in hubs before we know it?

    After the last couple of days Steve I would say it is less than a 50/50 chance. If the 2021 season goes ahead without serious change I will be astounded.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • 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?
