Paging the Demon Army @WalkingCivilWar

Collingwood want to go from a point as quick as possible (usually from the ball bag behind the goals). If the ball comes into the cheer squad from a Demons point punch/throw it as far back onto the ground as possible.

The umpire will stop the game to get the second ball off, and give us the crucial few seconds we need to structure up.

Also... I got away with saying 'ball bag'. Cop that Demonland filters.

Love your way of thinking. Only one problem… oftentimes the ball that comes into the cheer squad takes out a pair of glasses or someone’s state of consciousness upon landing thereby delaying its return to play and by this time another ball’s been fetched from the ballbag.

edit: I deliberately didn’t put a space between ball and bag and still no censorship! Seems we’re both winners tonight 😃

    Watching this game, I can really see us giving the pies serious trouble in the finals. Like us, there forward line is their weakest link.  
     

    If you rob them of fast ball movement, they will absolutely struggle to score.

    I would’ve picked DeGoey and Howe as your two favs.

    DeGoey is in a league of his own.

    Another week that the teams behind us are gifting us the top 4 place.

    We take care of the Saints tomorrow and we'll be 4 points plus percentage in front on that tight race for 4th on the ladder.

    The media [censored] about the Pies is pathetic. Would think they have won their last 100 games.

    Don't like him - he reminds me of Stuart Broad too much

    No way!!!! Stuart Broad is painfully uncool. He has terrible posture. He walks on the balls of his feet like a toddler, he pulls the most exaggerated facial expressions and he wears that stupid white kerchief around his head which looks even stupider when he tries to put his cap on over it.

    What part of their footballing are you not impressed with?

    They’re a bloody good side - play with a lot of freedom and fun.

    Naicos seems capable of playing midfield without getting a speck of dirt on him, why can't we play one our smooth moving half backs thru there 🤮

    Any side performing as well as they have since midway last year would be receiving the same amount of media attention. 

    But don't let that get in the way of your hatred of them. 

    Also, @binmanand @A F, would love to hear a breakdown of how their loading is tracking vs ours.

    Collingwood like every side have their weak areas. 

    But they're streets ahead of us right now in almost all facets. And we are well behind Port and Brisbane. 

    They way they play is so exciting and attractive to watch. And they're just always in games, no matter how much they're down by. 

    Tomorrow is a true test for where we sit compared to teams 5th-8th.

    Can Goodwin inspire us to a comfortable win against a less talented side who have some significant outs? 

    I have little confidence.

    Well, watching Collingwood win tonight isn’t the best way to celebrate the end of dry July.

    • 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?

      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.
