    Or perhaps they’re happy to take 3 first round picks off our hands.

    Or a player and a pick or two.

    However our target may not be the obvious Reid. We may want a few players.

    So many defeated Demons posts on here. Sure we are not playing great but it’s May FFS. We lost to a top 4 team away by 4 points

    I back us to turn it around and to be playing a better brand by round 20. 

    And this aura around the Pies? [censored] me, stop building it up. they have this mental hold on the comp, the Blues looked beaten when then ran out. and the Crows [censored] the bed in the last quarter. 

    For me we need to play fast paced footy, we have the talent to do it. It does come with it’s fair share of turn overs but we can defend that and hurt teams more by creating constant pressure on them.

    The Filth look good unfortunately but it’s a long season with another 13 games to go .., we may actually see them travel away from the G

    i did. hence i said i feel we can turn it around. Pies are not unbeatable and we have plenty of talent and hopefully we can make some changes to our game plan and get our clearance game going again. 

    if you are sure we will not win the flag, why bother watching any games?

    Because I like football, I also said they are beatable, but if we keep playing our game plan we won't.

    What to Marvel, that's a big trip for them.

    WC might try to split pick 1 and use their picks on the best WA talent 

    Exactly.

    sounds like we’re in fierce agreement then!

    they'll trade with Hawthorn/North for a first and second. Would you want to play for North though?

    would North want another Number 1 pick though? risk another Horne Francis?

    I reckon Green would be the best player in the league if he wasn’t so injury/suspension prone. 

    5 minutes in, in the wet - one beautiful assist. one lovely goal 

    a football genius

    They just said Pies run the ground to score 1 in 3 times, from the kick out.

    What would our stat be for that, kicking to a contest on the left side, nearly every time.

    Also what is the stat for scores by opposition from our kick outs.

    We don’t seem to be as focussed on our pressure as we were in 2021.

    You know what helps. McCrae having a team that he barely has to make changes to. He has a steady reliable forward line that kicks goals. You don't see him rotating and still trying to work out his best forward line to kick goals. Take note goody 

    Exactly this. We won a flag and still have no idea 2 years on what our forward line should be. They got so caught in defense that they were completely blindsided by the comp changing tact and becoming more offensive and we simply have no answer to it. Should have seen it as the afl were all talking about making the game more of a spectacle.

    That's one glaring problem right there that's so easy to fix. Mark gets spoilt and punched forward to waiting opposition. So predictable

    And who's fault is that we have a ruckman as a forward coach, should have changed it last year, kids like JVR and co need to learn forward craft at this level.

    Nah, they're much better drilled then what we were last year.

    Their forward line absolutely shades above ours last year as a starter.

    their scoring indicates otherwise...

    their defence is excellent and their midfield outstanding

    Sidebottom....front on contact..unrealistic ....play on.

    I’m now in the mindset that we are unlikely to win the flag and if we do, then it’ll be a nice surprise.

    Both teams have had 20 scoring shots. Honestly Collingwood’s second half has been pretty ordinary. Carlton have kicked 2.8 since half time.

    • 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.
