Looking forward to seeing McVee and Laurie in their debut games tomorrow night. Not enough positivity around this for my liking.

    $161 for 3 people to have a reserved seat at the footy is nuts. We’ve all be fooled

    That is for sure! Who are these rancid, isolated opportunists?

    And lastly, I bet that when Bowey debuted you thought "who and why", and he turned out to be a gun and best 22 players.

    I remember getting into an argument with a poster here (can't remember who) that slammed Boweys selection. They more or less wrote him off from the start of the year because of his build stating he would get destroyed in finals. Was one of the more odd interactions I've had on here.

    I've been watching our round 23 game from last season.  The one where we were up by 66 points at half time against the Lions and playing some great footy.  If we play anywhere near that level, the Bulldogs don't stand a chance.

    Assuming Melksham who trained with the main squad at training today is the sub, the team changes from that night to tomorrow night are:-

    OUT: Hibberd, May, Hunt, Jackson, Viney, Fritsch, Jordon (came on as medi-sub for Jackson)

    IN: McVee, Tomlinson, Hunter, Grundy, Laurie, McDonald, Chandler

    I'm not going to try and mount a case either way as to which night was the better line-up because as far as I see it, it's really quite close.

    The outs are better than the ins. 

    We lose our premier defender and our premier forward.

    There are some terrific ins in Hunter, Grundy and T Mac, but I just feel the loss of May and Fritta tip the scales to last year's round 23 squad. We saw how we functioned without May in the Sydney, Collingwood (and most of Freo) losses and it wasn't great.

    Must be predicting a crowd of sub 30,000 if they're closing the top of the Ponsford.

    If they opened it up for the Melb V Freo game last year where just a couple of blokes and a dog sat up there, then surely it's opened for this one. 

    As if the top of the Ponsford is closed for Round 1? Just seems really odd.

    There was one game last year - either GWS or Freo - where they opened it by mistake and went around kicking people out at quarter time.

    Yeah layz,  it states it on the MCG website when I last checked…baffling.

    A lot of negativity with regard to the Tomlinson selection but we will not know how good or bad the selection is until the game is played. We could see Tmac and Tomlinson swapping ends if the game is going against us.  

    Will be watching a replay during a stop over in KSA.

    indicates they're expecting a pretty small crowd

    Go read the comments. They’re not far off. Pretty good. 

    Would have gone Turner myself but i back the FD to make the right decision.

    And best of luck Tommo. He deserves a bit more love around here given he was in AA form until he was injured in 21. And missed out on a premiership because of it.

    How could sportsbet have us as favourites?

    Bulldogs must be a huge chance now that May is also out.

    There will be alot of money going on the dogs today before the odds even up.

    I hope they know something we dont.

    Who actually cares what those parasitic blights say about us?

    • 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?

    • 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.
