Bit of a different pre game for me this week as I am away from Homebase. 

Spending the weekend in the Champagne area in a luxury hotel in the hills above Epernay to celebrate my birthday. Champagne tasting and buying, Michelin starred eating, spa treatments etc. I will be watching live with a hangover.

Dees in The Alice by 6 goals.

First time I have started a GAMEDAY thread. Hope I have not stood on any toes. 

 

He always makes a stand, just sometimes it’s the Alamo and sometimes Rorke’s Drift. Will never die wondering will our Jack!

 

 

 

Win or lose this one against Port, I'd suggest that no matter what the opposition's form and talent may produce, Viney will give it his all. The challenge for him is a big one, playing his role with less selfishness that previously, replacing the drive of Clarrie, blending with Trac and Kozzie whilst exploiting what hopefully will be a re-energised Gawn and Jackson combination -  in all roles that he must play and under such pressure, Viney usually does produce those special games ticking off all the boxes for which he is notoriously famous and admired. Step up, Jack, and annihilate those Port misfits.

Good morning my fellow supporters of the best footy club in the known universe. 

A big win today by 80 points may get us back on top we where belong.

Will be tough with some of the outs but I get the feeling a few Fwds will kick a few big bags.

Come on Dees.

Gf not too far away now.

I'm not greedy but we deserve back to back flags  especially one at our home fans can actually go and see.

Enjoy folks.

No Clarrie so it’s time for the Captain Jacks to make their stand

At least Viney has been great of late.

Just now, leave it to deever said:

And some big games from Dogga and Max  too please..

Kozzie to steal the show with 5. 

Jack Viney is having a great year. I've no doubts about him at all today

It's the foot soldiers who need to lift. Spargs, Sprarrow, Bedford must give us more. Nibbler hasn't been great either. We need May to get back to his towering best.

Hope Tommo can slot in seamlessly. He was fantastic playing Petty's role before the knee injury last year

I'm hoping against hope that Melks can find the ball and deliver some gold platter service to our forwards. If he improves our connection today he will have justified his selection.

I'm not confident. Port are resurgent. Every remaining game a final for them if they want to make the 8.

Just hoping for the win tbh. Any sort of a scrappy, ugly win will do

Go Dees

 

Centre of attention we are today. A few teams around the bottom and outside the 8 cheering for us, a few teams up the top hoping Port do the dirty. Such is the logjam, but the most important part is, let’s do this for ourselves and remind everyone why we are the reigning premiers. 🔴🔵

We will be too big and strong.

Tracca will step up and perhaps Gus who like Viney is having a stellar season can spend time in the guts.

Relax we have this ....we will storm home this season with our spinniker up like last year.

I hope Weid takes some angry tablets and nicely pushes around a few opponents. 

 

You mean ‘opposition supporters’ as he watches from the stands?

I'm apprehensive. Port are in good form and have to win to stay in touch of the eight.

Life without Clarrie will be a challenge too.

With no recognised ruck for Port, I’m expecting Luke Jackson to step up massively today and put in an imposing career best performance.

I also expect us to come out fresh and firing off our equal longest break for the year.

Interesting to listen to Goody’s presser this week.  A lot of repetition re the challenge is in front of us and 6 weeks to go.   I have a feeling this is when we start our run to the finals.  We might be a bit rusty, but I can see us squeezing the life out of Port today, being better through half forward and creating space for forwards by faster ball movement.

Port are no slouch, so we will have to play well.  We were within a kick mid way through the last quarter against the cats, then got run over,  Can’t see them applying that level of pressure, but we will!  Dees to kick 80+, port to kick under 60.  That’s a 4-6 goal win.


I thought last weeks dude was pretty good leading into September. This one as well apart from Carrie out.  Thought Bedford and Melky were a bit “lucky”. But it’s still a very strong side.  We can overcome the opposition Go Dees.        
wish I could watch it never mind I will hear it and there is the replay.

I liked goody's presser too. I think we are set for these next six weeks.

I'm intensely jealous!!  Well, not the hangover part...

Happy Birthday 🥂, CHF!

If you plan on having a hangover I hope it isn't top shelf champagne! 

Reckon you will get your birthday wish of a Dees win!

THE TIME IS NOW!!

Goody is fired up and has set us for this one and the next 10 weeks

CMON BOYS!!

I might have a few Carlton draughts in my trackies so I guess we both have a pretty solid day planned

Am hoping after a nine day break can perform similarly to after our last nine day break against the Lions!

Will happily accept any winning margin!

Go Demons!

Think of me with my Sao biscuits, plastic cheese, kabana and VB

 

Just bring the pressure as against Brisbane and last year things will take care of themselves 

I’m nervous but hopeful.  Mild MFCSS.

  • 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.
