    Confident about this one. Kat Park doesnt worry us, although we have been worse on the road this year.

    If Tomlinson was any stiffer, hed be dead.

    Good opportunity today to bank another win against a struggling cats outfit and make our charge for top 2. 

    Pretty confident we will get it done but it will be a slog, especially if it rains. Let's hope we don't put together another wet weather performance like we did against the bombers.

    Dees by 22 point, come on!

    Yeah the only thing keeping this tight will be the wet conditions. Confident, otherwise. 

    Dees by 15 points.

    Here’s hoping we don’t have any “learnings” after the game. 
     

    I thought we buried the Geelong era in that prelim in 2021. Surely tonight is the chance to truly end it.

    You can't bury a club like Geelong in a preliminary final - they'll only get stronger.

    The only way to truly get the job done is to kill 'em on a cold winter night on their home deck, far from the spotlight of September, when there are no witnesses and nothing on the line but their own pride and dreams - crushed at last.

    Never easy at taxpayer funded park as their home record attests.

    They are undermanned and vulnerable. If we're about our business we should win. But it'll be tough. Always is down there.

    Yea, Finally game day has arrived. 

    As Bruce would say...A mouth watering feast tonight.

    Can't say I'm happy about Tommo but must move on.

    This will be tough at their fortress. They always are.

    But we have their measure.

    Go you good Demons.

    Kings Birthday game I was super confident but tonight I'm just nervous. The Cats are a five goal better team at home even when playing poorly. We have not played well in the wet for a while. But as long as we stop Cameron we should get the win.

    It's a coin flip for me, won't be surprised if we drop it but also don't see why we can't get the job done. Need to adapt to the ground and make it nice and small for the felines.

    The last time I went there it was a cold wet night like tonight and they smashed us,kicking something like 20-3, kicking them from everywhere.  We were our usual inaccurate selves, missing from straight in front, 20-30 metres out.

    I am confused by the confidence.

    Yes on paper we are a better side. They are missing some key players, but playing in Geelong always means they have the upper hand, especially in terrible conditions.

    We SHOULD win, but when you play them it's never more than a 50/50 proposition.

    Their season is one loss away from death. They know that and will come out super hungry.

    This is one game in which I have no hesitation admitting that viewing from the comfort of The Manor is far preferable to live attendance.

    However, I must also pass on my admiration to those hardy Demonlanders who are making the trek.

    I'm feeling very upbeat about this game and foresee a comfortable win. The ****ty weather won't help their key forwards and May, Petty , Lever etc will finish the job.

    I'm predicting a tense first half and then the Dees to runaway by 4 or 5 goals. The Manorial staff will be busy refilling my shiraz.

    Thomo is so stiff to miss.When he first arrived I thought when he played back we had a ripper of a player.He missed a GF and many games with his ACL and has slowly taken his time to get confidence ,fitness and form back,it takes some longer than others.He hits form so they kick him in the nuts again,hope he knows why because we sure dont

    I was explaining to Frau Nekkid that she is welcome to join me on the couch for the TV coverage (including any half time jollies), on elf the rare games I will watch from home.  I was explaining to her that GMHBA stadium is unfit to hold cattle, let alone an AFL game.  Basically chop a third off one side of the ground because there is a road there, and pretend it is up to standard.  Frau N will barrack for Maxxi (her favourite) and will sing the song if we win.  Otherwise she will take off to less touchy freely parts of the chateau.

    It's very refreshing to hear all the confidence in this thread and for a game against Geelong in Geelong.

    People keep saying they're undermanned but the only line they're undermanned in is the midfield. Sure that could be enough but they have 2 Coleman medalists and a talented backline.

    They will also no doubt have the umpires on their side egged on my their supporters.

    Bit of a no worries game for mine. Win, great top 2 looks good. Lose, we'll still win the Flag. Sit back and relax on this one folks.

    why are we confident? Cats are 1-3 in the last 4. lost to giants at alphabet stadium, lost to tigers and freo. 

    Duncan is their only decent inside mid. Cameron out of form (touch wood)

    We will smash them in the middle. bring the pressure should be an easy win

    • 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.
