We were parked on the grassy surrounds. I wasn’t the driver but since I paid for parking it was me who interacted with the parking guy. I asked the driver which road we used to enter the hellhole and she sent me this…

Yes your on part of the Crown Land reserve managed by the Trust. Just next door to the swimming pool.

Lengthy question sent off to the Trust last night.

 Stay tuned.

    Death, taxes and playing like [censored] at the MCG.

    I really hope this is rectified this year considering 6 out of our 8 losses took place there last year.

    This MUST be rectified, there's never an excuse to lose 3 in a row on that ground for this side.

    I’d have this number 1 on the improvement agenda.

    If we’re not playing our best footy and not winning more than 60% of our games at the G, then we’re not making prelims and granny’s.

    Makes you wonder how Melbourne would finish up if we played ALL our h&a games interstate mostly in Perth Adelaide and the Gabba.

    Top 4 probably. MCG is a worry.

    except that's not true. most journos are lazy and just say "out of contract kickett"

    it's not that hard to get it correct

    "Out-of-contract livewire" is the latest iteration.

    Umpire Nichols watching Max get a forearm to the head every marking contest and saying “nothing to see”. 
    I looked at him in the centre when BBB got those inside 50  frees in the final quarter and he looked so peeved.   Never would have paid them himself.

    Is he the bald one? Still upset with Maxy for belting the ball away at the centre bounce all those years back??

    • 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.
