    If we go in with the same mind set we had against the Pies then the bombers will win this one.

    The bombers have their tails up and we suffered a loss to a poor team in our last game.

    I hope to god the rest has rejuvenated the Dees.

    It was a very poor win off memory.

    The Dons were horribly out of form and we had finals on the line. We cruised to a 34 point lead in the 3rd quarter only to somehow find ourselves only 7 points down in the last quarter, in shortened quarters.

    We were not behind at any stage after just into the second quarter. It was never in doubt. Frustrating that they made their comeback though

    I trust Melbourne enough these days that we won't play two horrible games in a row. Should win this convincingly.

    Have they really got their tails up though? Took until the last minute to break Hawthorn yesterday, allowed the Tigers to kick 7 in the last 10 mins against them the week before, bye the week before that. I except us to hit them with the reality bus.

    If ever there was a club I'd like Melbourne to make a statement against.. 

    How good would our first 10+ win of the year be?

    Bombers on media street this week glowing and basking in it, i hope the boys are taking notice and deliver one almighty reality check.

    This. Have hated them since the 2000 granny. I've been rapt with the consistent 4 goal wins but I'd love the boys to get some real bloodlust up against this mob.

    I hated them with an unholy passion before the 2000 grannie and thought it was impossible to hate them any more than that at the time. But yeah, I somehow managed to beat my PB. The scary thing is my hate of them is seemingly still growing. Where will it end? How much hate can one little person manufacture? Somebody slap me!

    • 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.
