Marvel is free on the Sunday but MCG has Essendon v Carlton. 

Melbourne North is much more interesting than those nonentities

    So they’ll still cop a monumental thumping, only now they won’t have as far to travel to lick their wounds.

    Would much rather play them at the G than that [censored] hole Launceston.   Looking forward to this game turning into a big percentage and confidence booster for the team.  Would really love to stick it up North.

    Marvel would be perfect.  We play great there and finally a dry deck for us to kick a mammoth score. 

    I said in another thread that I thought Melbourne supporters would be humble if we went on a Richmond-like run. Well, I was probably a bit naive looking at the arrogance of a few of these posts.

    FFS, after where we've been, you'd think we'd always respect every opposition we play. Apparently not.

    I wouldn’t risk going to Tassie lest another one or even two Covid cases (!) sees you stuck there. Imagine that. The horror...THE HORROR. 

    As that famous footy scribe Marcus Clark wrote ‘For the Term of his Natural Life’.

    North have lost most games this season by ~50+ points.  If we are not expecting to and planning to demolish them, we are effectively loosing ground on %to every other team in the comp.   Bulldogs are stitting above us on the ladder at the moment largely because of their dismemberment of North.  Want to see us get ruthless in how we go about putting away the rubbish teams of the comp.

    Personally, I've sat through the receiving end of enough thrashings over the years, that I'm going to enjoy whatever dominance we can achieve while it lasts.  That 100+ point win we had over Carlton a few years back was very enjoyable.

    I was fearing that might occur and we get shafted again and lose momentum. 
    Last years stuff up whilst not any excuse, didn’t help the cause with having to squeeze games in to a tighter time frame.

    While I agree we need to be prepared to win anywhere, I'm also not at the stage where I'm happy to give up any kind of advantage.

    Playing North in Melbourne instead of Tassie is a win for us. They play well in Launceston.

    I do feel bad for our Tassie supporters, though.

    I don’t care where we play them as long as the game goes ahead. The last thing we need is yet another interruption to our season and having to cram this game in before finals. 
     

    Also lol at the arrogance here. Nothing would be more Melbourne than beating Richmond tonight and then losing to Norf next week.

    If so then it is unacceptable that our home game against them is at Marvel. Surely they can't play 2 home games against us in a year. If so then next year we should play them twice at the G.

    More likely they switch one of their games later in the year to Tasmania. We only play them once this year unfortunately.

    If BB plays well for Casey today and the game is in Melbourne, you would think he plays.

    But then again who knows?

    Just took a big pack mark and goaled from about 35.

    Think he has 3 at least before half time.

    I think we owe Norf a few years of arrogance as pay back for their horrid 16 game win streak over us. And for the years of Boomer Harvey nightmares. :laugh:

    I can only speak for myself when I stress that there was not even a skerrick of malice in my comment. It was meant to be humorous. Granted, it wasn’t that funny; pretty ordinary in fact. Nonetheless, it was not said with ill will. I actually really like North and sincerely hope their fortunes change soon. I also like Tasmania. I need to say this since I may or may not have likened Tassie to being with Colonel Kurtz in the death-ridden jungles of Cambodia, and I wouldn’t want anyone to take it the wrong way. ?

    I’m a Dees fan, FFS. “Humble” is my middle name.

    Game will be played in Hobart folks unless this outbreak really starts spreading.  Checked the tas-gov covid site and it’s only from certain hotspots not all of Perth. Friends have a Perth friend arrive today and did not need to isolate.

    I am waiting to pay back so many opposition supporters for years of humiliation and torment. 
    In 1988 I was locked in a room with 4 Whorethorn Supporters for the entire Grand Final and only let out once the Cup had done the full lap.

    I was also continually reminded of the year before.... 
    That is ONE example. 

    I hate 17 other Clubs and it’s about time the MFC felt the same way

    • 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.
