All this thread needs is a premature club mail out commemorating the occasion.

Hopefully our club isn't so starved of success they feel the need to release one of these

    I'd buy the 25 disc set (only on Blu-Ray though).

    Why start a post 'Top of the Ladder' before the game has been played? Melbourne has form in putting the cart before horses. Patience, let it unfold, if they are the real thing, they are the real thing. THat will be determined week by week. It has been a STRANGE season so far, topsy upon turvy and vice versa. Remember too, we would like to be September heroes for a change. March to July are one act preludes.

    How normal Melbourne supporters are acting right now exhibit A:

    Me to my dad: good news Port are losing 

    My Dad: things are going too well... bad [censored] is going to start happening soon 

    Me: yep

    Don't you feel it Jaded? This is it. There's something in the air, and for the first time in 50 years it's something GOOD!!! Just go with it, because if you don't then it might not happen.

    Enjoy the run... i certainly shall

    The challenge always was in the second half of the season.

    When I saw the draw I thought we could with luck go 8-3 or better for the first half

    Brisbane in Alice is looking tough along with the Dogs game

    Let's face it while we have had a few finals appearances the seasons themselves have been mainly excruciatingly close.

    A little MFCSS brewing in me that such a great opportunity can be blown by us, I’d just love the boys to be on from the first bounce and smash any signs of an upset away by quarter time.

    Well ... Golllllllllllllllllllllllly

    we're there

    it wasn't pretty but it will feel better in the morning

    Go Dees

    our team should be really fresh for next weeks game, given half of them didn’t seem to warrant putting in too much effort (captain included).

    “A lot” simply means we will struggle to put them away for most of the game by playing a lazy, selfish style of play.

    I think I nailed it.

    I also said today that McDonald wouldn’t play as a defender again and about 30 seconds later he was playing as a defender.

    They talked the other week about how Jones has played nearly the most games with his team without his team never being on top. Now he has, they don’t want to talk about it. So used to the Demons being the whipping boys, they only want to produce negative news about the Dees.

    In the words of the emperor Nero, may they self-procreate

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
