Very easy task this week:  only a page and a bit to wade through.  Unsurprisingly their few fans are not that engaged.

  • I'm not saying i'd sell my soul (if i had one) for a win…Buuuuuuuut....
  • Finally had good communication and run and carry against Richmond.  Demons will be a totally different task.
  • Our midfield will need to be on fire and our forward line will need to click as well.
  • If we bring our third quarter for the whole game we'll win.
  • Unlike the previous 2, this isn't a must win for me, but we can't be carved up.  unlucky for melbourne playing such an inform team like the suns.
    • Ha just their luck coming up against such an in form formidable opponent.
  • Let’s keep the loss under 10 goals, dees will be coming in hot after pumping a poor kangas team
  • If we could some how pinch this one, it would be huge, especially with WC the following week and getting us to 4-4
  • Melbourne are getting a bruise-free training drill before next week. 
  • Saturday arvo 4.30.  At least if it's thrashing the rest of the footy world will have forgotten about it by lunchtime Sunday if not 10pm Saturday

    I won't be around much to do these for the rest of May so if someone would like to take over these reports, you are welcome.

    @Queanbeyan DemonI think this was your gig before I hijacked it...

    It’s truly telling how little engagement this club has after so long in the competition.

    Anyways our first quarter > their third quarter 

    Take this lightly and we will lose. Come out with the same mindset we did against Norf and it’ll be a 10 goal smashing.

    This is a fair point.  GCS seem to always give us a hard time when we go there.  We can't be complacent.

    And yet I don't think we've lost to them since 2014.

    I think it works in our favour that this game is at 4:30 and not at night, it will be less slippery and dewy which we struggle with.

    Having said that, I haven't checked the weather forecast and for all I know it could be pounding down with rain

    forecast no rain, light winds 22/23c at start of game, 20/21c at end of game.  sounds good conditions

    I think those comments are balanced, and will add two things. Be very interested to see how many frees Matty Rowell will get along with Lucretia and Is i hope we get Razor again.

    Autocorrect for Lukosius? If so, your device is impressively refined.

    Rowell vs Clarrie and Viney for contested possessions will be fun to watch.

    "Where's the road out of here?"

     

    What they’re saying at Nerang Broadbeach Road, doesn’t have the same ring to it 🤣

    • 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.
