Looking forward to Rivers producing more and more of last week’s final quarter.

Chaplin on Rivers, scary.

I had a meeting with him yesterday and reviewed his tape and I was pretty honest with him, I said I think you're only at about 75-80 per cent capacity for what you're capable of.

    It’s currently raining here in Casey. Let’s hope it clears up. We know what happens to us in the rain 🙄

    weather will, you would think, keep it tight and make it a wet ball game, which probably suits the crom more than us

    mouch will revel as an inside bull who turns it over a lot, and they will REALLY miss laird and rachele's ball skills

    today's one of the ones where i just expect the dees to get it done in a professional, relatively gritty win

    Media still ripping into  MFC . Its been a long week. Now theyre hinting that Goodwin would make a good coach for the Crows in 2025.

    Get it done today Dees.  If for any reason just shut the media up. FFS

    We just need to bank the points.

    But on a side note come along for the bluey entertainment. The kids will love it. 

    Is this a thing?

    Genuine question. I am brining my son.


    I think today is a critical marker for our fortunes this year.  Adelaide will want to attack through the corridor, it's our best chance to practice and display our ability to deal with this.

    Weather will clear nicely by game time.

    Expect a perfect Melbourne winter's day, blue skys and hardly a breath of wind.

    Only a mll od rain has faen so ground might be a touch slippery, but not sodden.

    MFCSS is shrouding my judgement.

    Why did it have to rain. Makes it a closer call than it would have been if dry


    Hail rain or shine, if we're contenders we have to win this. We can smell September now so no more slip ups.

    Maybe not a bad thing to clean up our skills in the wet, in preparation for a potentially wet final..

    Win or lose, I'd like to see Tommo play a blinder

    Reckon he's underrated, way too good for VFL 

    Stiff I agree, just would like him to succeed and do enough to keep his place.

    Think it frees up Lever to float and intercept, which is his thing and benefits us greatly.

    Wet or slippery game, still drizzling here in the city. Forecast says the sprinkle is abating.

    Marks are so important to our structures. At least, I hope we play infront and have the right boots on.

    We have been playing consistently over the four quarters (better than previous years, and last week drop in 2 and 3 was an aberration, plus a little bath water), showing we have built our maturity.

    Love our young players. The mids are doing well, led by Gus, with Clarry out and Tracc foward. 

    C'mon those on the edge of selection, push hard today. 

    Our team is so much more flexible in our set ups and styles now, good coaching. We must be a headache to play against. 

    Go Dees.

    Training in now, plenty of red and blue around in this carriage at least.

    • 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.
