The only good part of us being out is that we deny Geelong gloating over a revenge PF mauling.

    Half way though Friday nights game I thought we were going to win but I realised we would not beat Geelong. They looked tired, injured,

    Swans to bring Pies down to earth!

    Cats to tame the Lions.

    I just hope that the swans will chew up the filth and spit them into the gully trap they belong in. Hope lions win as well but it hard to imagine it will.

    If the Pies held on against Geelong last week, I honestly think they’d be in the box seat to win the 2022 flag.

    They would’ve faced and beaten Brisbane in a prelim and gone into a grand final with absolute sky high confidence.

    As it turns out, they’ll be playing in front of a pro Sydney crowd at a venue that probably doesn’t suit them as much as the MCG.

    Geelong 16.7.103 - Brisbane 9.9.63

    Sydney 11.13.79 Collingwood 9.12.66

    Looks like the airlines have jacked up the cost of tickets to Sydney.2022-finals-ticket-prices-for-swans-vs-collingwood-magpies-melbourne-to-sydney-airfare

    I wouldn't be too impressed with this:  "The SCG holds 48,000 fans, so only 28,0000 tickets are available for club members. The 50-50 split means Collingwood members have been allocated 14,000 tickets, but that could increase should Swans members not take up their entire portion".

    100,000 fans trying to get 14,000 tickets!

    I thought the PF had become the Final for club members.  Bit ordinary that 20,000 tickets have been reserved for corporates, sponsors etc.  I suspect that is more than is held back for the GF.

    It’s really hard to care. I wish nothing but pain and misery to all 4 sides remaining

    An embarrassing night tonight for the Melbourne Football Club - this contest will be akin to the 2019 GF or maybe even... the 2020 prelim💡 A ridiculous one sided spectacle that will only do nothing more than highlight our poor 2nd half of the season and the 'what could have beens' of an epic prelim clash between a defending premier with the highest ceiling, and the best team of the current season.

    Of course I'll watch, and I'll hope the Lions win - but it will be with very little fanfare and it will be akin to watching NM try and beat WCE in an away prelim in 2015 - ie a lost cause that will barely last a quarter or two - a story that we all know the ending to, even if it is close for 3 or 4 quarters - one team will always have the other at arms length, ready to flick that switch and win easily by a few goals.

    And even if the Lions were to get up in a Hail-Mary-Cats-Choke of epic proportions, it will do nothing but fuel even more Coodabeen Champion fantasies on DL

    Absolute Lose/lose situation. 

    I hope this prelim stings the players.

    Use to travel down to the Aust Open and watch Hewitt loss in a tough five setter,  only to see the player that won go on and win the title. Would rather see The Lions or The Swan take the title now but know I feel the same way after. Should have been us.

    A prelim loss for Geelong would make my Friday night guzzle all the more enjoyable.

    Would almost feel like a win. 

    And to see Howe out tomorrow night would just be icing.

    • 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.
