Hi everyone!

We interviewed Gerard Healy for our most recent episode of the Deeluded podcast—please take a listen and let us know what you think! https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/deeluded-the-melbourne-demons-podcast/id1219118375

Gerard had some interesting thoughts on premiership medals for the entire squad (including Chunk), landing Cerra (he thinks we should throw up Weideman plus a pick, which seems ambitious!), and the midfield chess game against the Dogs. Is tagging Libba the answer again? Or are Macrae and Smith the bigger threats?

Hope you enjoy it!

    Re: tagging. Why is it that it is always that we have to tag them.

    With Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, Jackson (in his midfielder role), Langdon and Brayshaw its more than probable that our opponents have more to worry about for their taggers than we do.

    Great get Kiran. I'll make sure to listen

    He was a gun player, our bets, and I was spewing when he left for the Swans.  I have never really forgiven him for abandoning us.

    I was taught by Gerard's sister at primary school. I idolised Gerard and Greg. I had his number 3 on my little MFC jumper. It broke my heart when he left us for the mone.... I mean to play finals. One of my best moments in footy was when we flogged Gerard's Swans in the 1987 first semi-final, knocking them out of the finals. 

    It's fair to say I have forgiven, but not forgotten. :)

    There's already been talk of Dunkley tagging Trac or Oliver, so all teams are considering this.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
