But it’s different when you’re the grandparent right? Aren’t kids generally well-behaved with grandparents despite being little [censored] at home?

The reason grand parents and grandchildren get on so well is they have a common enemy!

    Quick power workout done and now to swing to the sweet sounds of risk management.

    Petty, we’ve experimented with different set ups but ultimately 2 talls plus Lever works for reasons already discussed on here, and as good as Thommo was two weeks ago, Petty is a gun. I like the look of the fwd line as inexperienced as our two keys talls are (having Grundy / Gawn rotate through the fwd line allows us to do this). There’s a feeling of youth and excitement about it but ultimately what I like is we’re back to being mobile again. We have a great mix of players with Chandler taking his chances and Kosi who is well over due for a big one. Then there’s Fritsch who is possibly one of the most underrated players in the game. (I base this on his inability to get picked in an AA team, a team that I keep telling myself each year I care less about). Out of all of our learnings the quick mobile fwd line is the biggest so far.

    Love you comment on Fritsch. I comfort myself on his 6 goals in a gf and personally was key to saving us in 3rd quarter. Plus he has a medal.

    The AA does suck. Bit like the brownlow. Fairest and best midfielder only.

    Good time Charlie as the sub is what I expected.

    Could be some interesting moves made by Goodwin this evening and it will, of course depend on the circumstances of the game. 

    Petty could play forward or back and will be effective at both ends of the ground as required. 

    Something from left field I would like to see is Smith given a center bounce as an attending mid. might be something that would throw the cats. 

     

    Just made a mercy dash to the Romsey IGA to pick up a couple of "just in case" bottles of Shiraz.

    I couldn't resist a quaffer called "squealing pig " - I figured it might be appropriate to a post game Chris Scott.

    Just listened to Goody on Fox.

    He said Oliver had a bit of hamstring tightness ... and added that ... any other suggestions are incorrect

    So he's not on that Sub.

    Bloody freezing here in Sydney. Will be watching from a warm bed.

    My daughter sent me a text last night. Coldest June day in Sydney in 15 years. I'm part of a Kirribilli Walking Group that meets Thursday mornings at 7. A little bit brisk today 😀

    Sorry, unfortunately my model flipped to Geelong by 1.2 points following team announcements! It will update again once subs are announced.

    @WheeloRatings You're now predicting a 2 point loss. We need to get this game happening before it gets any worse!

    Looks like @binman was on the money. Charlie wasn't dropped. He's just having his load managed. I have mixed feelings. I would love to have seen Taj playing, but wouldn't like to have him debuting as sub.

    Geelong is known for late changes so it could still change again!

    This is a big game. Win and we are a game clear of the pack and well on our way to top 4.

    Lose and we are back with the pack looking over our shoulder each week.

    Form says we should win but we cannot afford to repeat our inaccuracy of the English King's Birthday.

    Dees by 22 !!

    What’s the bet we get smashed by the umpires tonight?

    Well we are 3rd worst for Goals from frees and against and the stat for our frees generally has dropped the last 4-6 games.

    We are also playing at Kitty Litter stadium, dominated by kitty fans, so it is pretty obvious what will happen.

    Mitch Cleary just tweeted that we won tonight’s game by 6 goals and then deleted it two minutes later…

    • 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.
