And now he can go home and smash 4 Scotch fillets to get himself ready for the big game

Got to watch the trampolining and now the diving in the Olympics and because of no footy can get all our friends together for dinner out tonight. 
Silver linings all around!

    Reckon we would have been better served with the late game. Nearly in a plane all of today but at least a game will go ahead and can watch up here on TV. Must win this.

    I don't know if this is good or bad ?

    no doubt that it's an early game as we'll be on a flight to perth straight after

    Coll upset of Eagles brewing ?

    So hope Eagles win - last thing I want is to play them at Optus on the rebound after being humiliated on the east coast again.

    Interesting how it's only other teams that 'get up and are hungry' after a loss, never the Dees.

    Each game is an individual entity - and has no baring on the next.

    Unless you believe that the only way to win, is permanently having  no confidence the week before playing the Dees, unless you win and in which case, you're supremely confident? [censored], it's even confusing for me to make sense of this logic.

    Surely we have been the most interrupted by CoVID:

    One of only 2 teams to play a game knowing the rest of the season is postponed.

    The only team to have had a game postponed because an opposition player tested positive to CoVID.

    The only team to travel for no reason, because a lockdown was called mid flight.

    And the only reason we can’t lose our [censored] about it to headquarters is because of CoVID we’ll need to put our hand out for the 800k+ we’ve lost in gate revenue.

    We have had a few games in the last two years where after a poor game/loss we have rebounded.  Not sure why you say 'never the Dees'.

    The Eagles have made an art form of rebounding from east coast losses then win at home this year.  Each game may be a 'separate entity' but don't underestimate what wounded pride can do when a team is back on its own turf.  

    Yes, couldn't make much sense of your last para...

    I'd argue it's not an artform - they play worse over here, and more consistent at home. Is it merely some CBF's for them when they're here? Maybe... 

    It'd be great to get some stats, on teams, or interstate teams that win back home after losing interstate. Debatable if it has a thing to do with pride/emotions.

    Fox listed the game as Gold Coast subs vs MFC. What does that mean?

    Eagles are a soft downhill skiing team. Would rather they lose and have their confidence down going into next week, as opposed to winning on the road and getting some momentum trying to sure up a spot in the 8.

    We didn't play finals last year, so we're behind every team that did.

    They will wait till we are half way there, then put us a 14 day hotel quarantine.

    Finally some luck for us. From Darwin to an away game in GC to a home game.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
