Bigfooty:

Not much to report so far. 

Understandably they are preoccupied with their injuries and replacements.  There appears to be some new injury outs that haven’t been reported in the media yet.   They are expecting at least 5 and maybe 7 injured players from last week to be 'forced' changes.

I detect resignation more than doom.   There was still room for a bit of humour by a few posters.

  • Well, everyone who wanted the over 30s out in lieu of playing the kids got their wish...
  • If culley doesn’t get a game I’ll spew
  • Lets do a Sam Mitchell Cleansing now get ready for Mid Season draft and then End of Season/Draft & Trade.
  • We aren’t beating Melbourne.
  • Melbourne will easily be the shortest price favorites for the round.
  • What was the injury to SPS? Been real good in the two games he’s played…
    • …s**t haircut
  • I have a morbid excitement to watch this weekend with the forced youth policy.
  • The emotional part of me says I've well and truly had a gutful of these highly remunerated but often absent 'credits' boys and can the lot of them.
  • The more rational part says if we chuck out ALL the oldies then we're asking for the pain that Hawks/Norf are currently going through and in the past Melbourne/Carlton have experienced.
  • What concerns me about this week is that with no rotations in the 4th quarter last week you can bet that those that were left were being pushed in the "red zone" as the sport scientists call it. In other words being more vulnerable to injury..
  • someone ******* throw this medical department out, enough is enough.
  • Fritsch is the one I see causing us big problems. I don't see a good match up for him.

My favourite:

  • Oh dear, playing Melbourne ...
  • Waterman would be great in a good team

I'll check in again later in the week after selections.

    Agreed.  Geelong, Eagles and Blues have been the guilty ones to openly gloat in recent times.

    We are slowly getting our own back...

    ... I thought we lost by 186 to Geelong?

    Either 187 or 188, I would love someone else to have the largest losing margin record - couldn't think of a better team than the Eagles.:cool:

    We owe Hawthorn, West Coast and Essendon the most I reckon.

    In the past we have performed poorly in games like this. The other team has nothing to lose and we have often coasted.

    I would like to see a ruthlessness that becomes the norm for us.

    Here are some things these delightful people said on reddit a couple of days ago:

    • Melbourne were dog[censored] in 2019 after we demolished them in the 2018 prelim
       
    • God what a [censored] day that was, was almost as good as winning the grand final. I just remember all the media saying Melbourne were the favourites, they were so desperate for it to be melbournes year and for us, the team predicted to not even make finals, to absolutely blow them out of the water was just chefs kiss
       
    • It was also made more delicious by them wanting to be able to beam in video of Melbourne supporters to negate our home crowd advantage. In retrospect I kind of wish they went ahead with it

    That was a precession! We could have won by 150 but kicked really inaccurately (18.20 to 4.6). We kicked 1.6 in the final quarter.

    Would it be OK to ask for a 191 point winning margin? It's embarrassing to have to point out that 186 is not our greatest losing margin ever. That (dis)honour belongs to the Melbourne team beaten by Fitzroy by 190 points in 1979. Final scores were Melbourne 6.12 48 to Fitzroy 36.22 238.

    We lost to Fitzroy in rd 17 1979 by 190 points. I will never forget the trip home from Waverly. Devastating.

    • 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 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.
