Funnily enough the fact this is Buck’s last game makes me think our guys will take this match more seriously as they know the Pies will come out swinging. Maybe that works in our favour.

I'm somewhere between pfft-fugazi and oh-my-god-Hogan-isn't-smiling on the Buckley swansong impact expectations, but I agree that hopefully it will have a positive impact - not just the thought that the Pies will come out swinging, but that they indeed do and make it a high-pressure game. I have been a bit concerned about our inability to play our best outside of big occasions and genuine challengers. I know this is a partially flawed measure, but it terms of points gains and losses on last season results: 

Rich +61

Dogs +56

Geelong +28

Bris +26

Hawks +3

North -27

Adelaide -50

    Not sure I agree with the Max Gawn badge. Always picked her as a Salem fan.

    Anyone else concerned about our forward line on the SCG? Hoping to see Oliver, Harmes and Petracca kick a few between them.

    We’re down in Bay 15 in the Trumper, just under cover; hopefully the rain will hold off regardless.

    Looks like media are having a field day about Collingwood and Buckley it being his last game. Making it all about them despite it being a Demons home match and sitting top of the ladder.

    I have a lot of respect for Bucks.

    He'll easily snap up a jon within the AFL very soon.

    Did you guys hear about how Bucks is apparently coaching his last game? Apparently there was a whisper in the warm up

    To be expected. Do you think either way it matters to the players or the coaches though?

    Great MND slide, love Neale just smiling up there. The whiz & Sarah Jones BOG for me.

    Now lets go dees & smash these pies. Start well

    Extremely nervous about this. Hope we are switched on and start well. Crush their hopes early.

    Final games from coaches always make me nervous, and this is especially so given Bucks is such a fixture at Collingwood.

    Still, they don't always end in fairytales for the outgoing coach. I don't think we won our last game with Neale? I think I went to that game and it was a real close loss against the Bombers?

    • 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.
