Someone needs to turn the lights off for 30 minutes so we can get this game back on our terms.

    This game day thread is a great reminder of why I don’t often read the game day thread.

    It’s ok to acknowledge the competition is tough, and we are a big scalp. Have some faith. 

    I understand what you are saying but I really do believe we are playing well below our best and quite lucky to be in front. Hopefully we will run over them but what we've bought thus far isn't great. Our backline looks like it did against Essendon almost.

    If Langdon is getting tagged we could send him forward and use Fritsch on a wing to get him in to the game.

    Otherwise I’d like to see Fritsch as a lead up half forward and the instruction to kick to the leads rather than bomb it

    The Suns have come to play so we need to roll the sleeves and get to work this half.


    Our lowest contested possession count in a half for over 3 years. Hmm.  Can’t believe its less than Port 2020 but there you go.

    You can see the hangover from the 90 point win with how many stationary handballs and Hollywood stuff.

    Why don't they just put on Suns Jumpers and play the team song on a loop.

    Kozzie you just make me smile

    Anyone who’s watched Disco at Casey knows he’s not a deep defender on big talls.

    That’s not a fair match up.

    No 3rd up from Lever either

    Put Petty back FFS. It’s going to cost us the game if Goodys not careful

    • 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.
