What they are saying at Arden Street

Bitter but optimistic
in Melbourne Demons

With filtered ice and a drop of water, all whiskies are ripper, in their own ways.

    Definitely going to have to try this. I'm all about the Pinot/red wine casks.

    Been meaning to join the Whisky club for years. More than happy to get a decent whisky each month for reasonable $. 

    You can opt out each month too. We do t get them every month but occasionally get a real nice bottle as an add in.

    to bring it back to the topic at hand...

    • With no proper chf
      May, lever and Tomlinson are going to destroy larkey and get a intercept mark record

     

    • Clarko's first squad since returning, and the following things are notable:
      • Cunnington in
      • Turner not dropped (at least not immediately - still listed in squad)
      • McDonald and Stevenson still named as starting on the field
      • Not that it matters greatly, but Sheezel named in the Centre is interesting
      • Tucker named in the forward line - believe that might be a first?
      • No Cooper Harvey
    • Anyone that pays attention to where people are named on the field is an [censored]. People who actually have the ability to pay attention know we do stupid things like name Powell at CHB. Its all cause our media department run a weekly comp to name the team, so we make the correct answer obscure. But you know, anyone with such a great ITK that tells you Noble wasn't getting sacked right before he got sacked would know what the club actually does.
    • 40 points is just about party time territory. Last time we played these lads, in a 90 point loss, I high fived a bloke in front of me who was the only North fan in a Godees entourage. We were both delighted at everyone's fury that the margin ended up being under 100. Only time I'll ever be content with such a ****house performance
       

    gotta say, love that last one - i remember feeling like that just a decade or so ago!

    On the roos equivalent of dl, there's probably a very meta thread about the what they are saying arden st thread on dl that has devolved into a thread about high end whiskey, which as they rightly suggest could only happen on mfc related forum.

    They have no concern about this game. They’re talking whiskey for gods sake. We are a joke! 😂

    Further to this… last night Sophie (one of our three AMAZING leaders) told me that in 2013 if we lost a match by anything under five goals the cheer squad would sing the song. 😢

    In that era I would consider anything under a 10 goal loss as a moral victory.

    Fast forward to round seven this year and some Demonlanders were upset that we beat North by ONLY 90 points!!! 🙃

    Both of those do not exist… only whiskey with the e comes from Ireland or the US iirc, Japan and Scotland it’s whisky. It’s to do with the grains used. See, learning is fun with whisky! 😃😃😄😄

    Talisker for me

    Although if I'm going to nurse a fair few,  a good speyside malt like the Balvenie is hard to go past

    Love the Speyside single malts. 

    Do yourself a favour and get on the Macallan 12 y.o sherry cask. Sweetness.

    For sure. Macallan is high class. I don't believe I've had the Shery cask but have had a few bottles over the years

    Is it bad for the stereotype that I agree with old about brandy? (Well cognac actually).

    Talisker is my clan whiskey and from loyalty to the fine folk of Skye, is difficult to sidestep when buying a bottle of scotch.

    • 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.
