Excited to have BBB and Weid in the same forward line - could be the dawn of a very destructive duo if aggressive Weid comes to play.

Interested to see what Dunstan can do and looking forward to seeing sparrow in the middle for a whole game.

    Really looking forward to this game.

    Im tipping a 40 point win going away in the last as that seems to be our style.

    Great to be on prime-time again.

    Go Us!!

    I reckon this will be a close one - for about 15 minutes.

    It's pretty good to be our shoes at the moment. Two of the best defenders going around are out of  our side yet we can bring in quality like Petty and Smith and still have Tommo waiting for a shot. I can't see geriatric Jack doing much damage and Lynch is a frontrunner.

    Without their main man Dusty they lack both fire power and muscle.

    Really keen to watch Dunstan in the middle and also Sparrow with extra responsibility.

    Hope Weid and BBB don't run into each other but I reckon Kozzie will thrive on the big stage and  clean up.

    In a moment of rare generosity I've given The Manor's domestic staff the weekend off! I even shouted them a camping site (non powered) in the hills.

    I imagine they've well and truly pitched their tents by now!

    The Tigs will be fired up for this one, but I just don’t see the firepower in their arsenal.  I expect them to match us early, but when we pull the trigger for our 3rd quarter onslaught, the battle will be over in the blink of an eye. Dees by around 6 goals.

    Missed this game last year, which was a ripper, and cannot wait to head in for ceremony & spectacle.

    Hoping to see a huge crowd but the town seems strangely vacated again, like last weekend. 

    Figure Dunstan shouldn't be too out of his depth given Tiggers faultering midfield.

    Get along if you're able 'landers & go us.

    Really like reading Gameday thread when we are premiers and the side others aspire to be,

    the positive vibes are good to feel.

    we will lose unexpectedly but not tonight. The game will be hard therefor we expect to have to play to win.

    we should power away after the main break, Go Dees.  B2B in 22

    We go in favourite, and rightly so, but the Tiges are very well coached and their smaller players are in great form. It is their ageing stars that are letting them down, and I think they might struggle to score. I am hoping to see Langdon, Jordon, Hunt and Brayshaw tear them apart with gut running and relentless transition footy. And like many others, I have been waiting for an extended stint of seeing Weid and BB play together. 

    For me, into the train with 3 family members at 3.30pm and down to the game I go. Could be a late-ish night home - approx 12.30am - but worth it in anticipation of a great win.

    Since this one is an away game, will the cheer squad be at the ponsford stand end or the regular spot in the Warne stand?

    Such generosity is unheard of in Romsey, Uncle, I'm sure other townfolk and peasantry must look up in Awe and Envy of the Benevolence of the Master of the Manor.

    Shout-out to Hunty today playing his 100th game. He's been one of my favourites outside the plethora of stars we have in our side. He always takes the game on and plays with courage and dare. Let's hope we can get the win for you today mate. Congrats!

    I think it will be a pretty close game today and the Tigers will be up for the fight but we will prevail by 3-5 goals

    Ambition - day was planned, pub lunch with a couple of other Dees, arvo ferry from Portarlington staying in town overnight, dining room dinner on 2nd level AFL Members area, celebrate the night after watching the Dees, back on ferry in morning with probable hangover

    Reality - came down with Covid 2 days ago, will spend the day coughing and sneezing while watching the game instead !!

    Go Dees

    Our system is water tight. I expect Smith and Dunstan to slot in seamlessly

    The only Tiges player that concerns me is Shai Bolton. He's a gun. Overall though we have the better players

    Looking forward to a big crowd and a few celebratory beers on swan St post game

    Dees by 25 points

    Forward marking will be the key along with accuracy.

    If we limit their marking in the forward 50 and take a few ourselves... game over.

    Expecting a heavy defensive press from the Tigers

    A Hawthorn supporting workmate said “you’ll be going down to Launceston this weekend Marty”

    ”No and Why” I said.

    ”To watch the greatest team of our generation play of course”

    ”I’ve already seen them live once this year” I replied 

    “When did you see them?”

    ”1st game of the season at the G” I waited for the raucous laughter and retorts, but only got

    ”I see what your doing” then he changed the subject 

    What a time to be a Dees supporter. A lazy 30 point victory today and the tigers kept below 70 points from the greatest defence of any generation!

    • 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.
