If We Beat Richmond, I Will.......

... Be pretty happy.  You know the last time we won the first six games of the season was something like 1965, right? 

 

Edit:  Or was that the first seven games?  I think that team won like eight in a row anyway.

    Be releaved that the side is finally starting to live up to its potential.

    To be honest, I won't be that surprised as we really should have beaten Richmond in at least one of our encounters in the last few years.

    Time we stop being intimidated by these sides.  Richmond are good, but they are not invincible.

    Richmond came out the favourites, super-confident and arrogant during the pre-season for a practice match against the Dees. They did not impress and went down rather embarassingly to an underprepared Demon outfit. It's going to happen again this coming weekend. This time, we're prepared, despite key injuries.

    Head down Swan street to drink a few beers and luxuriate in the afterglow of a win against the benchmark team, then home to jump on DL to post some rantings, watch the replay and read all the newspapers articles I can find.

    Mind you if we lose I’ll do pretty much the same thing except I’ll wallow in defeat rather than luxuriate in victory.

    Cue pessimistic Demonlanders writing on 'Is Goodwin the right guy' thread, that if we still make finals, we're just making up numbers, thus it's and indictment on the board for agreeing to a contract extension for Goodwin.

    I would be absolutely disgusting to be around. Richmond supporters would have nothing on what I would be dishing up.

    I’ve been as critical of Goodwin as anyone but it would be harsh to criticise after a 5-1 start to the season with the only loss coming against the premiers. Best leave that thread until the end of the season I reckon.

    ... be surprised. Looking at the recording of the Hawks game, I got a bit disheartened about or chances Saturday night.

    If MFC beat RFC we will laud Goody’s cunning ploy to appropriate and assimilate Dimma’s gameplan into the Demon playbook.

    Pop the lid off.....a bottle of beer! 

    But seriously I will also start to believe that might be something this year.

    This is a dead set critical game for us

    It might even be a “line in the sand game”

    Anyway in honour of this game ,and of course The Warrior’s 300th, I have decided to have a moment of morality 

    If we win..... I shall confess to the maid that lockdown is over and she can actually leave The Manor

    • 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.
