Anyone else already feeling sick with nerves or just me??

I’m gonna say it now… if we lose to Geelong next week I’m calling time on the year 2021.

 

Geelong hold no fears. Expecting a 5 goal + result. 

I was feeling nervous then my mate sent me this screenshot

The Cats had us covered until they started resting their stars at 3/4 time last time we met. It's going to be a huge test. They've definitely improved their side with their changes this week as well. 

Sounds like our boys had a good first week in the hub, getting some much deserved rest, but it has to be all business from here. 

Ok to all WA demons fans. We implore you to get to Optus next week, drown out the cats fans and get our boys over the line into the big one. Do it for all of us dees fans that are stuck in other states in particular here in Victoria where we cannot move. 

 

 

Esava makes more formidable structure

Please dear lord make me feel better this time next week.

I agree. If that's the best Geelong can dish up we win comfortably.

Goody cracked a bottle of red at halftime tonight.

This is rubbish, propaganda driven by Geelong people.

The only time they "had us covered" was the 20 minute patch in the second quarter where they dominated stoppages and kicked 6 goals.

If anyone had anyone covered the rest of the game, it was us covering them.

And they didn't rest anyone. Dangerfield was (allegedly) sick and spent time on the bench in the fourth but that was it.

Why do people have to minimise our win?

Did not want to play Geelong again but if we play at our best we will win and win big.

With the Rat brought in by the Cats, I think Smith will stay in to release Lever. 


I have just watched a pathetic semi final so why is my MFCSS running so hot ?

Not worried, Geelong were average tonight.

If we cant beat them comfortably (4-5 goals) then we wont win the flag.

Are we not forgetting they played with basically their full squad against the Giants who were missing, Toby Greene, Tom Green, Jessie Hogan, Sam Reid, Xavier O’Halloran, Brent Daniels, Nick Shipley and Braydon Preuss.

Yes my MFCSS is in overdrive right now but having said that the Cats were lucky not to face a fully fit Giants outfit and it’s not surprising they won by 35.

I'm trying to slap myself out of the feeling that we're going to win this easily and put ourselves in a Grand Final. Surely, surely not?

Yep, full strength minus Stewart (and Parfitt going down early). Plus had the extra day break, and didn't exactly exert themselves last week whereas GWS played a hugely intense game vs Sydney.

My MFCSS is also strong right now, but objectively there are plenty of reasons we can/should be confident.

Struth I hope we don't get those umpires next week, kept Geelong in it al night

 

 

Definitely a huge worry game for me.

Last time they didn't have Touhy, Duncan and Rata. 

Joel Smith will stay now especially Big sav down there. Bowey for me is still the vulnerable one down back. I said Hibbo last week but if Jayden Hunt is ready then I'd bring him to give us some speed out of the back half.

Our defence and mids have to be really switched on from get go.

so they'll definitely lose parfitt and bring back...higgins? simpson?

losing parfitt is massive for their mids as he's starting rotation

can't see stewart or o'connor being a threat

they spent a fair bit of timing just bombing it forward with those foursome of talls - hawkins, cameron, ratugolea, rohan - up front but i think that plays right into our hands, particularly if rohan pushes up the ground to use his pace and allows lever to zone off

  • 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.

  • 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.
