Taking my wife who doesn’t care about football for the first time to today’s game. She asked me if they will play Country Road on the PA system.

    It automatically opens to ..... err "contact sports"... of a somewhat different nature.

    They even had the nerve to name one of the companies after yours truly, “Redtube”. I should sue, but I don’t trust lawyers.

    Melbourne need to keep the ball out of eagles forward half otherwise the 4 feral umpires could  slow us down. Are they WA based umpires?

    I'll be watching the match at The Sporting Globe in Richmond. Anyone else going there?

    In my day that was the name of my favourite pink sports newspaper.

    I would buy fish and chips on the way home from the game and eat them while reading the fabulous, just printed, pink Sporting Globe.

    Ah the wonderful memories.

    They might if umpires give Charlie a free close to goal, despite the fact he isn’t playing, or even in the State.

    I'm feeling a little uneasy about today's game for some reason. Maybe it's all the talk of a 100+ point win which is making me uncomfortable or it could just be caffeine overload, which I can counteract with a bowl of pho and a beer thankfully. 

    Let's just try and keep the oppo to a low score today and avoid any injuries. Enjoy the day everyone.

    I’m adjusting for ‘workman’ like win. 
    It’ll be heaven and hell at the top of the ladder 👍

    For some reason we never seem to put the pedal down when we have a comfortable margin. Maybe just the modern game and not wanting to burn out players, but then there is also the ever important % to consider. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

    Id like to see Kozzie kick a bag.

    Garry Lyon 94 SF v Footscray? Neitz kicked 9 a couple of times I think (and Farmer vs Pies) but no double figures since Gazza.

    We've had some big wins, particularly in 2018. I'd like to see a ruthless edge too but if we get a handy early lead, cruise and then pike on a few late ones to win by 40+ I won't complain. Just get the win (no injuries/reports of course) and worry about the rest afterwards.

    Farmer kicked 9 in the second half (41 mins to be exact) against the pies in 2000 after being singled out by Daniher for his poor first half

    If you played a good game in the u/17 in suburban footy you might even get a mention in the Sporting Globe 

    Only happened to me once but still remember it 50 years on

    • 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.
