Well you may regret your action Hardwck now that the GF is a distinct possibility. !

?

 
 

So where will finals be then? There wasn’t any mention of an MCG GF so I guess that’s off the table now. I find it bizarre that Perth are almost the only ones being properly considered to host the GF, Adelaide Oval is a stunning venue and would be a great location to host. I wonder is the treatment of the olympic athletes that had to double quarantine has made that impossible now. 


After seeing covid numbers in Vic today you can just about kiss finals at the MCG goodbye.

    This is why a part of me doesn't mind the pre finals bye. Give that extra bit of time to assess where numbers are at and hopefully allows us to attend finals in Melbourne.

    A bit of history when we’ve finished top 4….

    we’ve finished 1st 9 times for 8 flags and 1 runner up 

    we’ve finished 2nd 4 times for 2 flags

    we’ve finished 3rd 8 times for 1 flag and 1 runner up

    we’ve finished 4th 8 times for 2 runners up


    (…our other flag came when we finished in 6th position at the end of the home and away season)

    I’m a bit the same in that I’m surprised they’re considering ditching the bye, I guess they might feel if they can see what’s happening immediately they know more and feel more confident. Whereas if they keep the bye it could get better but it could get worse. What a world we live in! 🙄

    Cool. Might be worth me checking my monthly payments as well to see if they charged me for it again this year. 

    I'm being charged the same as last year.

    Hmmm...I wonder what proportion of a tridents home & away season ticket is made up of the grand final guarantee* then Clint. I've just checked and my monthly payments are the same as last year as well. Maybe they've increased the price of a season ticket by exactly the same amount they deducted for our carried over grand final guarantee* from last season. 

    *guaranteed until such point that it can't be guaranteed. 

    We should all be watching Tom Stewart's medical report to find out if the pre-finals bye is still on.

    If it is 2-4 weeks then the rest week is definite on.

    Well things are becoming clearer.

    We beat the suns and cats...FIRST

    Beat the suns and lose to cats maybe 2nd if dogs beat port.

    Which would have us play port if they win this weekend

    If we are first we could play cats two weeks in a row.

    If port win their next two we could be third and play power away if only we lose to cats after we beat the suns.

    Hopefully doggies snap out of their funk and smash port next week.

    So If results go as predicted today n tomorrow with Melb, Geel & Port...

    Winner of Geel/Melb (1st) v Loser of WB/Port (4th)

    Winner of WB/Port (2nd) v Loser of Geel/Melb (3rd)

    Crazy round 23!

    If the Dogs lose to Port and Brisbane belts the Pies and WC then Brisbane 4th and Dogs 5th.  About a 90 point swing required which is possible

    Finals start in 13 days!!

    i need to change my undies already!

    If results go expect this round (Geelong, Port and we all win), then next week is huge: if Port beats the Dogs next Friday night, we'll need to beat Geelong to avoid going to Adelaide for the first final.

    I really do not want to play geelong twice in a row. If it is their home game in finals and they play it down there I willl become demonically insane.

    I think you should be more worried about playing Port in Port. Very real chance of this happening. 

    almost resigned to that or the Cats at Kardinia Park

    that's 2021

    • 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.
