    4 wins Demons 

    that is the mindset

    Whoever it is, wherever it is played 

    It’s 4 wins, get the job done

    Work with each other. Challenge each other 

    Yep 1 week at a time, but basically that is it.

    I really think port are not as good as their ladder possie indicates.

    Even though we did a great job v them at their gome, a finals prospect is different.

    So I really hope we can avoid that.

    Also think the dogs are a good side but in all honesty rely on a few players more than most teams. Lets be honest they get a lot of free kicks.

    The real contenders are playing tonight and i believe one of them will hold up a cup.

    So an emphatic win would be great.

    It gives us a home final and would put fear into other teams.

    Great to have Tmac and May back in.

    Also our fwd line has started to click.

    This really is a mini gf tonight.

    Dees by 33.

    We either Port in AO or the Lion in a neutral venue. 
    that’s the options?

    It's a glorious day outside so I'm keeping busy with some landscaping until beer o'clock at around 4pm. Then I'll put my feet up and have a look at the warm up act at the Gabba before the main event at KP. How good is it having the best Melbourne side any of us have probably ever seen and knowing they will probably only get better. 

    No doubt this is the best Melbourne team in over 50 years and they will get better. Only older players are Gawn, May, TMac & BBB who hopefully all have 2-3 decent years left, then you go Trac, Oliver, Salem, Langdon & Lever will be at their peak over next 5 years, look at youngsters in Jackson, Pickett, Rivers, Bowey, Petty, it certainly is exciting times. 
    Now is the time to be a Demon supporter, only major issue is I’ve suffered through over 50 years of losses to get here!

    Go Demons.

    A win for me today would be no injuries.

    They have 2 of their mainstays missing in Tuohy and Stewart, no crowd support. I also reckon their narrow ground could help our defensive structures. Think we've got this.

    It makes it all so much sweeter if we taste success.

    A few pundits claim this is the best fwd line going up against the best backline(ours).

    I think our forward line is now pretty potent as well so i think we will win.

    All I hope is that I dont need a new TV after tonight.  Might just listen to the radio instead for a while to save money.

    or dogs at a neutral venue if the lions lose to the eagles or win but don't make up the percentage to the dogs

    I feel physically sick. Between this game and Covid my anxiety is off the charts.
    Need to finish the domestic chores so I can relax with a calming glass of Shiraz.

    Somewhat nervous but not too bad yet. Nothing like a good bottle of Red to help calm the nerves.

    All of the above, almost same feelings as last round 1987 vs Dishlickers🥴

    • 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.
