We could be playing West Coast this week who have 17 out and our supporters would still be making a case for the Eagles to get up!

    37 point win, including resting some stars in the final 10 minutes.

    Relaxing evening to come 

    For so long as we are going into games with four first choice defenders out, including Lever and Salem, we are going to be at risk of conceding scores when we otherwise wouldn't.

    We did great against the Dogs last week but that was in prime conditions, not in slippery tropical conditions.

    And although we have come off one of the best seasons any side has had in the last 21 years, we dropped games to Adelaide and Collingwood and drew with Hawthorn, as roaring favourites each time.

    There's no objective reason to be concerned. We're the best team in the competition. But we won't get through this year without losing games.

    If it’s wet, that bodes well for us. We are a contested team, whilst the Suns like to run (not as easy to do on a heavy ground).

    Having Lever and Salem missing is a huge hole in our team. They are 2 of the best defenders in the league so any win without both of them is worth it. I hope Lever is ready next week. Also Petty is a valuable CHB and having him out is a blow.

    We should win and although the Suns might be plucky and playing at home, I’m feeling somewhat more confident knowing the team had a run on the ground last night, with rain - so basically the same conditions as tonight I imagine. Let’s hope we can crack in like last week and take the game away from them, and then keep going with it.

     

    I live between Brisbane and the Gold coast and sun is out but plenty of clouds around. Will be going down later and just hope the weather stays OK. Any storms later should be out west away from coast Looking forward to seeing them live again. Should win by at least 30 points.

    We are reigning premiers yet we get shunned to Foxtel. I know port are a top team to, maybe they wanted to put the Hawks on because of Mitchell. Anyway I'm happy to watch it and free

    Was unaware that this could be 10 wins in a row. As it should be against this Clayton's club.

    Yes  gone are the days Id lament the wet weather and how it worked against us.

    We thrived in all slippery conditions last year with ground ball gets and even contested marking.

    Bring it on,

    Your poor old Uncle Bitter had planned to give Metricon a boost by attending in person. Unfortunately ........you know.. circumstances changed..... and spectating shall take place in the The Manor's modest theatrette. Hopefully in the company of an immodest maid.

    While the Suns have some very handy up and comers , and may even, finally, become competitive they will be no match for the Dees.

    A comfortable 39 point victory beckons.

    Agree Uncle.

    Ill be taking the 1-39 pts on offer, as it seems early in the season the Dees just get out there and get the job done. We will leave the thrashings for the Cold Pies later in the season when we have a fit and firing full implement of troops. It will be wet as well i would imagine.

    47 point win with everyone talking about how we would have won by 80 if not for the repeated 50's gifted to GCS by the maggots.

    Sunny here at the moment. Hopefully the rain holds off.

    Rain bands to both the West & Sth at the moment, but neither seems to be moving at the moment.  Might get lucky!

    • 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.
