    It would be classic Dees to blow today so it is a good test to see how mentally tough they really are. Could be season defining.

    Why oh why do I see Toby Greene or worse a nondescript play outa their skin and we dont turn up ! That would be so utterly Melbourne. I of so little faith.lets see

    Never need to post these days. It all gets said better than I could say it. 

    Let's harken back to the Northey days, when we had finally shrugged off the easybeats tag and had belief.

    Langdon reminds me of the Febey twins. There is only one of him, but it always looks like two of him out there. 

    PS Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated, but the nusing home staff have learned better than to let me watch the dees games live. Too many solid objects thrown at too many screens.?

    Got my 50 year MCC membership earlier this year. Wondering if that trumps my 50 year ban from the members.  ?

     

     

       

     

    Well Posted there Rollinson 65!

    I'm with you on the great Swoopwer.

    My Northey take away is of teams that were never prepared to lie down or be beaten till the end. 

    Last week I saw the team challenged twice and deal with it professioanlly. Small sample size as they say but I felt the saints game would be some sort of marker for this season. I expect the same today at Canberra and be 3 - 0 by 8.30 AEST.

    Don't underestimate how deep the scars are!  I have never been confident before a game and I don't think I ever will be.

    With Saints going down to the hapless Dons, and the Blues towelling up Freo, I’m getting an uncomfortable feeling that beating both means little, and we may be in for a shock today...

    Gotta start well.

    Go Demons.

    Totally incorerct assumption here PaulRB. - although undertsandable.

    The issue this season is that once the Dees beat you, you stay beaten for at least another few weeks.

    Seriously, the saints would have pencilled in the game last week as a win - Rude shock .

    I've just been enjoying the Romsey sun while slurping down 4 stubbies of Jameson and cola that one of my acolytes left behind. It's rubbish but alcoholic - the sort of stuff that @picket fencewould rate as a very fine brew.

    Time to open a shiraz and start my pre game routine.

    I note that a few above are less than confident.

    Bah to that! I've loaded up on Sportsbet - my nethers tell me we're a good thing today!

    I imagine your nethers have made many of your life decisions over the years. Don’t lead us wrong today!!

    Excellent way to bring Melksham back in. 
    IF he gets a run he is expected to impact.

    If we come out flat, I’ll be looking to Trac, Viney, Gawn, May, Oliver, Lever, Jetta to lift us. That is why you gave leaders and gun players. You earn your money to correct the ship

    i wont be blaming the bottom 6

    I'm at Cape Paterson , Picket, you might hear me from there

    Any chance of Hunt going to Greene? Has the athleticism but may be challenged with the smarts. Hard to see who else could go with Greene.

    Yep. Still think we're favourites but it looks like we've snuck past the bottom couple of sides, aside from North.

    Looking for a clinical performance, this evening.

    Anyone attending that can give a weather update?

    Currently enjoying a convivial at the Kingston prior to the game. Judging by the team colours on display we should out number GWS support by 3 to 1. Mind you Mrs DW and I make enough noise to drown out 40 oppo supporters 

    Give em a few load BALL calls for me?

     

    At least they haven't got Mumford to thugerise Max this year. The endorsement of that game from the AFL was a disgrace

    If we win today it will be the first time since 2005 with a 3-0 start. Buts it’s like us to stuff up a great opportunity. I hope not.

    • 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.
