1.10 is worse then right on Mothers day Lunches

I could think of nothing better to do on mothers than go to the G and watch this one unfold.  

 

I'm not a mother though so what would I know

    We’ve beaten this mob once at the MCG since the 2006 elimination final.

    Saints on an 8 day break should have recovered from their Cairns trip.

    Really hoping we can bank this win as we have some tough fixtures between rounds 11 and 15. Would love to be 10-0 before we face Sydney and Freo at the G.

    We can afford to lose 4 games this year IMO in order to finish top 2. Would rather not use one up today.

    Would you happen to have the breakdown of many times we’ve played them at the G since then? We rolled them last year but that was at Marvel.

    Yeah, we don’t do Mother’s Day at mine. 
    Apparently we do game day…

    Now to work out whose work this is: the hipster uni student or the bedroom-dwelling, PS5-playing teenager. 🤔 

    LOL found these in the bottom of the wrapping. They know I lose/break earbuds on a weekly basis.

    Added a pic of what was almost thrown out with the wrapping paper. 😬

     

    This haven't been tested B/S. The doggies threw everything at us and come up short. As did the Suns Hawk and Tigers. Port is the only team that rolled over.

    Bit too much taking in the media puffing up the Saints. We win this by 27 points.

    They just want a bit of excitement. "Best team wins again" is dull compared to "so-called best team is vulnerable" or "pretenders toppled from top of ladder."

    Wayward Saints seeking salvation. Last seen sliding for a slither of soap in slippery northern slimes. 

    Scraping like seagulls in a slather for seemingly senseless seconds searching for a slim score.

    Media mogul machinations on Mother’s Day may mirror minor minds.

    Determined Demons dastardly dash delusions of disorientated  delinquent delight.

    Saints or sinners saved for slaughter by the last quarter.

    I was more talking about posters in here believing it.

    I don’t have the breakdown handy but I believe St Kilda have won 8 of our last 9 meetings at the G.

    Nervous as all hell.

    (I hated mothers day; something always came 'unstuck' and then it was on....)

    Hope Tom has a great 200th game. Not that you'd know with little fanfare about it.

    But hope we have a good win & we carry him off

    Mothers Day is just the creation of Hallmark and retailers. Surely every day should be considered Mothers Day.

    Expecting to win well.

    At some point we drop a few games during the season.

    Still when look at quality across ground 

    Backs - May Lever Petty Brayshaw Bowey

    Mids - Max Trac Clarry Langdon 

    Forwards - Fritsch Brown

    Running power - ANB Kossie Spargo Sparrow Hunt

    Add system and we look very hard to beat!

    Go Demons!

    • 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.
