Was the most stupid and funniest movie of that year. Had a certain Mel Brooke's feel about it.

    Hibbo is a massive loss if he doesn’t get up. A perfect match up for Papley. 

    He will be fine. One tough hog.

    I’ve read conflicting reports on Hibberd. Cleary is saying he had gastro symptoms, however the Fox Sports person reported that he’s just under the weather and The Age has said he’s unwell but not actually gastro.

    I’d be testing Goodys food. He enjoys dodgy fish around finals time and needs to learn to fully cook his chicken.  Did he have Hibbo over for a meal!

    If we can’t beat the Swans without Hibberd we aren’t winning the Premiership. 

    Have to agree with this.

    If we can't win without our 16-23rd best player, it's not going to be a very enjoyable September.

    He will be missed though if he's out, or off his tucker if selected.

    I guess one good thing may have come from Covid 🇨🇳🦠 and that is they don’t share water bottles or at least squirt them rather than put their lips to them.  
    Hopefully they haven’t shared bottles or glasses etc

    I will have Gastro Saturday morning after a few frothies 

    The severity of which will depend upon the scoreboard.

    I reckon Hibberd will fine. 

    Gotta catch a break ( figuratively speaking of course) with our backline eventually.

    It's never just one bloke, about a billion times more contagious than Covid, please hook him up to an IV, it's the lack of fluids that flattens you.

    just mind games to confuse swans

    I'd reckon that there are a few of these mind games circulating between and across the Demons and the Swans. Sides selected tonight from which some second-thinking may be clarified. Those secrets and innuendos are difficult to ascertain, so we have to wait until Friday night, I guess.

    Maybe he’s just sick of the standard of journalism in this country?

    He's possibly preparing the alimentary canal for a great opportunity upon his opponent Friday night.

    Running 12-15 Ks in an AFL game the day after copping a bout of gastro can't be great preparation. 

    Thankfully not wearing the away shorts tomorrow

    No Hibbo wasn't there. It was roast pork apparently, and he declined the invitation stating it would be too cannibalistic.

    My big problem with this story is has Goodwin peaked early this year.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
