Weather looking pretty miserable for the game. Big Cox will be about as useful as one of those flapping inflatable figures at used car yards

    Just watched the last quarter of the 2017 QB game on Kayo, where Jack Watts kicked the sealer. The ball was parked in our forward 50 for most of that quarter and our pressure was fantastic. Another game like that tonight (with a bigger margin) would be brilliant.

    And I'll never forget the roar from behind us at that Punt Rd end when Jack kicked that goal. Goosebumps.

    To quote a headline from the back page of the Herald Sun (circa early 1960s) that has stuck with me over the years: "Today's Magpies are Tomorrow's Feather Dusters".

    I'd be happy with the headline tomorrow re-introducing another word from that era as in "Colliwobbles strike the Pies"

    I don't mind what Ed said about this game, just because i think it could get into the Pies heads a little bit. reality is they may have won a string of games, but they're 3rd with a percentage of 106% which suggests to me they're not winning convincingly, they're winning close games. 

    hopefully we give them a really blunt reality check tonight and send another warning shot to the competition. 

    I reckon the Cats form is just starting to drop slightly as well so can't help but feel we're building at just the right time again to give another flag a very serious shake.

    On the subject of booing: it’s likely Langers will attract more than his fair share tonight. Maybe only for the first quarter or part thereof, since average Collingwood supporter = attention span of a moth. 
    I hope they boo him loudly and often as that’d mean he’s getting a lot of the ball. 
    That said, we (DA) will try our damndest to drown them out. Hopefully all Dees peeps join in!

    I went to a game in the ‘70’s, horethorn versus Fitzroy. My mate couldn’t stand Normie Goss. Every time he went near the ball, my mate booed. I remember thinking half way through the third quarter, “[censored], Paul is booing a lot”. Goss touched it 35 times. :-)

    Loved Jack. He’s still one of us in my book.

    It’s the greatest demon roar I’ve ever herd!

    Just amazing

    I remember being so happy for Jack. One of the great modern day Melbourne moments… & I’ll never forget it.

    I certainly hope that we have very good umpires tonight that are not overly influenced by the the feral army.

    Not wanting to buy into the mental health issues discussed above (at least not in this post), I also hope the umpires don’t soften up on their interpretation of the head ducking rule because of after match comments from last week.

    If you get caught high going for the ball - free kick. If you look like your objective is to get a free, rather than the footy  - play on. Pretty simple!

    We’ll see what happens tonight

    I’d go further. If you’re playing for the free, whistle > free kick to Deez> + 50 metres > goal Deez > filth loose by 1 point.

    Thanks Dayzy. At one stage I though he was going to be the next Peter Hudson. Turned out more Waterman.

    Just had a look at the BOM and it appears these latest showers maybe?? the last. Could clear by time of first bounce. Mind you I'm up in Qld so got no idea really. Needs to be a firm track as I picked Dees by 43 points.

    Seems that way, most of it over the next hour or so?

    Loudest roar for a Dees’ goal I’ve heard at the G!

    Absolutely sensational!!! It was a great result.  Watts ran so hard from half back to create the opportunity.  
    And love the reaction. And Jeremy 💩Howe’s disappointing face

    • 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.
