Society needs both optimistic and negative people. We've evolved this way. I'm naturally more optimistic but we do need negative people. This certainly comes through with how people support their footy teams.

Don't get me wrong, I'm negative during the game. I'm positive when my rational side takes over post game.

    I'll just stick to self abuse then.

    Haha!  Win or lose I'm sure the shiraz will be ready back at The Manor!🙃

    On second thoughts maybe it is flowing at the G or you have a stash to indulge, on the way back to The Manor...🙃

    I love how parts of Demonland is framing this one already. If we lose, we're hopeless and no contender. If we win, Collingwood were missing all their players. 👌

     

    Yeah frame stores must be doing a roaring trade, wish I had one.

    Slept in, cereal with fruit and Keffir, a nice home brewed coffee from local (and outstanding) coffee roaster Custom Coffee, into my Dees gear, about to jump in the car with eldest adult daughter who like me, is a mental Dees fan., and head the 'G.

    At this point, the Pies have played better football so they have to go in as favourites, but will yell my guts out and hope for a strong win.

    Not sure if I am more apprehensive about the umpires or game day thread today.

    The Yin and Yang of life. Superman had his Lex Luthor, Luke Skywalker had his Darth Vader, Kane had The Undertaker, Optimus Prime had Megatron, Kenny G had Michael Bolton, Albanese has Dutto. It's the circle of life.

    Collingwood are the hottest team in the competition.  They have won this round over us a lot more than we have.

    Despite Jvr winning a nomination last round our forward line is still very much in doubt. Our backline has Bowey out. Our midfield has our star Oliver out.

    Don't know why but I think we will somehow win today.

    Just hanging with the kids and texting the 4 collingwood mates I go to the game with. I've been in their faces for a month. If we lose I'm doomed.

    Fallback scenarios:

    - West Coast Eagles 2018 (We are the Eagles)

    - Swans prelim lose last year

    - Giants prelim lose 2017

    - Demons 2021

    I can’t see us losing this game

     

    so i’m going to leave at 3/4 time

    Me too, I'm just going to have my eyes closed for the whole game I'm that confident.

    JVR seems to have the qualities to be a big game player. Going into beast mode in the 4th quarter against RFC has been my season highlight - for the spectacle and the potential it portended. 
    Too much to ask for a repeat performance, but if he can play like he did against CFC, it will go a looong way towards us kicking a competitive score.

    ideally i want a Ricky Petterd type finish to the game with one slight change. 

    we take the mark and kick the winner after the siren

    Yeah I got a little lingering around on the balcony but I've invested in a good MFCSS swatter.

     

    I'm getting ready to go now, but I will see all you chums at the G.

    To be fair I think people are talking about selections and in-game moves rather than during the week training methods when talking about him being stubborn and not bold but I like the way this is going.

    Some will take a pottie at Goody at any opportunity and for any reason, not just in-game changes or selections. Says more about them than about Goody. Anyways, those snags ain’t gonna cook themselves… WCW gawn. 🤪

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
