The Demons face a fired up Richmond Tigers who are playing for a position in the Top 8 whilst we have another opportunity to consolidate our own position by retaining our 2 game buffer within the Top 4 and as a result of some favourable outcomes in other matches there is the possibility of us sneaking into third place on the ladder. Carpe Diem!

    Great wicket by Hazelwood just then…

    What a way to start off the game day thread with the Aussies up and about!

    For those of us that can, it is our duty to rock up to the G and loudly support our boys.

    We cannot allow Richmond to have the crowd become their ‘19th man’ on the ground.

    Poms have been giving us another lesson today though?? I need your optimism for both codes. We have a door open here & need to finally control a game - but will take Ashes 2-2 & todays game by a point please. 

    A slight worry is the late afternoon rain; otherwise I’d be confident we’ll beat Richmond by 5-15 points. Go Dees!

    From a new article: ”Statistics show Carlton are ranked 5th in the AFL for scores against per entry and 6th for inside 50s against. Remarkably, 15 of the last 18 premiership winners have ranked in the top six for both of those categories–and the only other club currently joining the Blues in the top six for both is Melbourne.”

    On Richmond, here is one of my good memories: One year, there was one game between Richmond and another team in MCG, the scores were tight. With only 5 minutes left and Richmond behind, forwarder Nathan Brown ran back to help their back line—how sweet he was. He managed to take a mark 50 meters out and swiftly kicked a beautiful long-distance goal. He raised his arms, beaming with a smile…  then he stopped: “How come no teammate is running towards me? How come they put their heads down? Holy sh*t, I kicked an own goal!”

    I love Tigerland, keep your good work, Tigers, you are the best!

    First time we’ve played Richmond in an away game that isn’t Anzac Eve since 2014. We won that 2014 game.

    2019

    We lost that game.

    Tiges are always difficult to beat so we'll need to be on our game to win.

    Perfect world (and in keeping with the perfect weekend so far) Petty will kick 5 goals.

    Our leaders Max, Trac and Viney will drive us on to victory.

    Dees by 20 points

    The stars are aligning, this is a real statement game. Cannot wait.

    Northern Wollongong.

    Go Dees.

    Not another close one please.

    We should do a game day thread from all the different places we are watching.

    Ps you win

     

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Get the job done today.

    If it's not pretty footy then I'm happy with that.

    We win today and we're pretty much level pegging with the Lions and Port for 2nd or 3rd spot.

    We lost that game.

    That 2019 was a home game (was thinking we never play Richmond in an away game that isn’t Anzac Eve) but goes to show we hardly ever play Richmond twice in a season because of Anzac eve, and very unusual to play them this late in the season.

    Hoping for a good professional win and Petty answers some questions up forward.

    Port have Geelong and Freo away and GWS at home and Tigers in the last round.

    Lions have Freo and Coll away and Adel at home and Saints in the last round.

    The first three for both are tough wins against teams that have either a reason to win or no reason to lose.

    We have Tigers, Carl, and Haw at the G NM in Tassie and then Syd in Syd in last round.

    Win today and you are ‘one more win heading home’ than these two away from 2nd…

    Does anybody know where the Dees supporters can sit today? I have a h&a membership and do you know if you can upgrade your tkt for the day?

    I'll try not to complain about Goody's selections again after the cricket selections in the Ashes this year.

    Go to Rich v Melbourne on Ticketek, select "Club Members and Public Reserve" and enter your barcode where indicated".

    Worked for me on Sunday I got a reserved ticket on level 1 on the wing. It may be too late now but worth a try. Heres the link: https://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/Show.aspx?sh=RICHM2023

    My MFCSS is running rampant, especially given rain forecast.
    Please Dees, don’t join the crazy list of upsets this weekend. This is a golden opportunity ………. grasp it with both hands!

    The only upset I want is on the faces of the Toiges fans as we give them a belting…

    People are referring to the fact that the results in the games played so far in this round have been upset games but Richmond are on a bit of a run having won 6 out of their last 7 games which is a better run that we’ve had in that time. 

    So in reality, it’s us who have our backs against the wall and on that basis, I believe we’ll follow the trend of the round by upsetting the Tigers.

    • 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.
