Look Geelong are going to come out hard straightaway. They would be so annoyed the way we just steamrolled them and humilated them last year. 

We have to be switched on right from the start. 

Petty and May are going to have huge jobs tonight. 

Tonight will be the perfect time for our forward line to just suddenly click. 

To the Melbourne fans going down there well done, there is no way I could have gone down there tonight, god knows what time Id get home and have to get up so early for work. I know you will be drowned out but barrack hard as possible. 

And the thing that really annoys me is we still have to play down there. We are the reigning premiers. I would have thought this year we'd deserve to miss those trips. We should have earnt the right to play at pour ground for a home game. 

Lets hope this is the last time we play there.

    I see in the little paper Geelong are still banging on about the "virus" that "swept through" the team prior to the Preliminary Final and how they wanted to ask the AFL to postpone the match.

    'It's not an excuse mind you Melbourne were very good.'

     

     

    I want to smash this team like never before.

    I hope our team believes Geelong was rife with illness prior to the Prelim. To think otherwise might be construed as complacency.

    Agree, the virus thing, simply pathetic.

    Based on The AGE, AFL and some Fox tipsters we are the underdogs.

    We'll show 'em!

    Dees by 3-5 goals.

    It was the same on RSN this morning. Geelong this, Geelong that...........

    We got 'em.

    The football gods should reward this hubris and complacent lack of self-reflection with years of defeats to the Demons.

    Hard to get a gauge on Geelong, but they have two big forwards in red hot form. Shut them down and we are in. Geelong is my most hated side ever, I just cannot stand them or their coach.

    Anyone know what numbered clowns in yellow flouro we've got tonight?

    Looking forward to beating all 25 of them.

    Go Dees

    Odd football fact

    Melbourne now have more 100 game players in tonights teams (14 to 13)

    Not surprisingly, Geeolong are leading in the over 30's (10 to 4)

    Geelong average nearly 50 games per player more than Melbourne.

    It is the first of those points that give me hope for some years to come

    Probably better than most weeks. Meredith and Findlay very experienced.  Power is a rookie.

     
    Justin Power (4), Simon Meredith (21), Robert Findlay (23)

    Will be watching this one from home tonight. Not worried at all. Doesn't mean we'll win but I'm comfortable in the fact that we're every bit as good as them win or lose and will beat them when it really matters in September.

    I am more worried about the umpiring at kryptonite park than Geelong who I hate as much as the filth.

    Another lovely warm   morning in downtown Hua Hin  and I'm just about to break my fast at one of the many local eateries.

    The good news is that the mamasan of a nearby Sports Bar assured me that showing the AFL is "no problem for me", so I'll be watching the Dees win a tough one.

    I reckon it will be close  up to 3/4 time with Melbourne pulling away 20 points.

    I hate these ****wits so bad. 

    Viney to set the tone with a bone crunching tackle on Dangerfield at first bounce. 

    Huge game, huge. HUGE.

    The media are really talking up the cats in this one

    I don't get it. They've beaten no-one recently other than the Tiges. They are 1 year older. they've added Stengle who's been excellent but he ain't going to make up for the overall geriatric profile of this team

    We will strangle the life out of these cats and show the world that Geelong are not contenders

    Looking forward to it

    Can't make it either, just too tough. Godspeed to everyone going!

    Certainly talking a lot about 'the virus that wasn't an excuse'. This will end up being the new Freed From Desire.

    I think the midfield is where it will be won. If we allow them to get a 4-5 goal run on out of the middle it will be a struggle.

    Hopefully we learned frm Rd 23. Th ePrelim suggests that we did but I think the midfield is now their weakest link.

    No Stewart and no Koladashkneesupmotherbrown is a decent help as well

    • 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.
