What they’re saying down at Arden St

I don’t want to hang on them too much as I’m all too familiar with that feeling of dread and hopelessness at the upcoming game, and their mood reflects that sentiment. But there is one lost Swans supporter on their BigFooty board foreseeing a boilover. Obviously hasn’t watched much footy this year; even the Norf fans are laughing at him.

    They still refer to us as the Draft Cheaters.

    I’m with you Nasher. I feel their pain. It won’t stop me enjoying a smashing win and laughing arrogantly at their ineptitude should that eventuate . But part of my heart knows far too well the territory they’re in.

    “Why is our spiritual home now named after the NZ PM?” might be something they’d say.

    They are in a tough spot (that we know only too well), but still plenty of contempt for the Dees in that thread. If we dish out a thrashing to them, I won’t mind.

    That thread had a real 'us in 2013' feel about it. Going to the footy, knowing you are ridiculously undermanned and inexperienced, and hoping against hope for a miracle. It's not a nice place to be in.... ?

    We have a few twenty goal beltings to dish out as redemption for all those dark, dark years. Could this be one?

    Lingering MFCSS says that this game will tell us just as much about where we are at as last night did, if not more.

    Bit rich coming from a mob that had no right to Carey and Longmire.

    It would be peak Melbourne to lose this game.

    I hope we win this game easily, but if we do I'm not going to laugh at their fans or their club. We've been so bad for so long, it would be good to have a bit of humility and enjoy our own side being good rather than rubbing it in the faces of other supporters. And as the example of Collingwood, Adelaide, St Kilda, us in 2019 etc show it can all turn around in the blink of an eye so let's not set ourselves up for massive bad karma coming our way. Enjoy the ride folks!

    We should bury them but they'll drag us down to their level. That's what lousy teams do, including us not so long ago. We'll overcome them in an arm wrestle and end up winning handily.

    I remember my daughters 4th birthday party, at Booran Reserve- one of the dads turned up in a North jumper and said I’ll be back after we [censored] the Dees. It was our first win in however many years.That day I lost all care factor for their supporters then and there.. another arrogant mob who deserve the ground end of the ladder.

    I cannot stand that club and their supporters are all [censored]. Never met a North supporter who I didn’t want to punch in the face. Hard. 
    I will never feel sorry for another club. We have been through more than anyone and nobody felt sorry for us. 
    I hope we smash them by 20 goals and BB comes in and kicks 12. But I suspect it’ll be a closer game and after coming down from a massive win this week, it might just be a boil over.

    Anyone feeling sympathy for North Melbourne wouldn’t need to look far through the game archives... we’ve been on the end of some absolute pantsings by the Roos over the last 25 years.

    Despite being 6-0 and 2nd on the ladder with a percentage of 150% and wins over three current top 8 sides, I still can't help but be concerned about this game.

    I should have faith, but we've played so poorly against North for so long, we play Bellerive Oval poorly (assuming the game is there), and there are always games in every season where a good side loses to a bad one.

    You mean like how many on here say Essendrug, Meth Coke and Carltank?

    They probably will also complain about the fact we essentially traded Dom Tyson for Ben Brown.

    Wrong - Tyson was traded for Brayden  Preuss. Brown was traded for a 2nd round pick.

    • 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.
