Well this is the most nervous I have been on a game day for a while, not necessarily because of Fremantle but I am a little superstitious and this is my first game since pre covid. If we lose it may well be my only game for the year.

Nice work WCW

what happens to banners after they are used?

have a feeling this one might end up at your house? Imagine having it in your driveway and driving through it everyday 😂

Unfortunately, once used, the banners are scrapped. Not able to be recycled since sticky taped crepe paper. 
With milestone ones such as today’s the pic is saved in case the family of the milestone player wants it. Tmac’s dad jumped on the opportunity. He was v keen  to get this…

Now you’ve opened the floodgates, Dub. Ima tell y’all a story that’ll warm the cockles of your heart. (Be warned: I’ve had two large coffees and a 500ml can of Red Bull. There’s zero chance of shutting me up😁)

So, 

Hunty’s 100th game was our Anzac Eve game. The banner that week was already full of pre-planned content so unfortunately his milestone couldn’t be acknowledged. 

The Army decided to make his milestone banner the following week. It was decided it would be a surprise. Everyone but Jayden knew. Even his mum knew. 

So, on the day, the players all stopped at the banner and looked back at Jayden and Harmesy who were bringing up the rear. Jayden was looking towards the ground. Harmesy tapped his arm and pointed to the banner. Apparently the look on his face was priceless. And this is what he beheld…

His mum also took home the awesome pic.

 

This week my kids got selected to play Auskick at half time today! And I’ll be alongside them either as a goal umpire or ‘sign holder’ (whatever that means!). 
Not sure who’s more excited , me or the girls! 
CARNAMIGHTYDEES!

Let's get behind Melksham:  unforeseen-success-melksham-s-role-in-demons-rise

“I actually didn’t come to Melbourne for finals and flags and stuff like that,” he said....“The club was struggling – or hadn’t had much success...“It’s been awesome.”

While Melksham didn’t receive a premiership medallion in the Demons’ historic 2021 premiership, the role he played in getting the club there should never be underestimated.  And seeing some of his best mates achieve the ultimate is something he is incredibly proud of.

He has been very good for us, not great now but he was key when we needed some silk and experience while our now stars developed around him.  And have now overtaken him.  He should be praised for his role in their development and his role for us.

Take Mundy’s games out of Freo total and the remaining 21 have an average of 50

Eight players less than 30 games

Amazing stat.

We are missing a handful of our best, which brings the two teams closer together, but I expect our system to prevail.  
Dees by around 5 goals, I reckon.
I’d love to see a significant improvement in our forward half connections and goal kicking accuracy.

Excited to see us put another team of pretenders to the sword. Had a quick word to the big fella this morning and he tells me it's "...in the bag!"

Don’t you mean the big lady Rev! I hope you are right I am off to the game this afternoon. I think we will miss Langdon , him and Tmac out levels the field a lot.

I am hoping Milkshake puts in a big one for his 200th.

Could not agree more he is still one of the best kicks at the club.

i was one of those anti-milkshake haters during his first season with us

but it was when he was shifted from half-back to half-forward that i became a HUGE fan - think it was defensive effort on jj in the game in which lever did his knee at the docklands carpark that made me admire his workrate, and the goal off two steps in the final vs hawthorn that made me love him

hope he has a ripsnorter today

I am unsure about this game. MFCSS again I suppose.

Freo are a low scoring team as it is so I don’t see them kicking a winning score against us

Our superior talent and forward options to get us through in a low scoring, dour defensive affair

Dees by 25 points

At IKEA in springers. Fair to say I’m earning my day at the footy today

@Demonland Andy, we need a 🙄 emoji. 

Missed last week - had to take the kid to the Harry Potter Show. Missing this week for the wife's birthday dinner...

Not a happy camper here.... at least I get to watch most of it on the stupid box this week

I'm going to miss seeing ed running down the wing today. 

Have no idea what to expect but as I say each week just hope we kick straight, win well & no more injuries

  • 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 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.
