Lets be honest....How many of us thought we would be 3 zip after that pre season dogs game and our 2 key forwards out?

Whats changed?

    It seems that the players are prepared to back and show confidence in each other, and make second, third and fourth efforts (Kosi in particular). 
    Improved kicking for goal however remains elusive.

    I know Richmond were poor on the weekend but imagine if they were missing Lynch and riewoldt. Cant wait to see Brown and Weid back. Esoecially an open fwd line with Kozzie hanging around it. ?

    Just putting it out there that I think we're going to either win the flag, or only make finals but not win the flag, or miss finals and/or sack Goodwin.

    Well, I tipped us for the premiership in the season predictions so at this stage I can feel a little smug.

    At the same time, I think we're still well below that level and there will be a few stumbles to come before we really click later in the season and go berserk. Just makes getting the three 'should win' games done properly all the more important.

    As my brother pointed out; "That's three games in a row that traditionally Melbourne would have screwed up."

    I think there is much more self belief amongst the players.

    Dees of old would have folded against a gws start like that.

    Did you also know we'd be 6 and zip and keep that to yourself as well?

    Probably did. @Adiós; insightful AND discrete.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
