  1. 1. If we beat Carlton...

    • Sure, it'll feel great...and ultimately it is meaningless as they are not a reference point.

    Interesting. I've tipped against us which, of course, never works. Last time was against the Lions. Simple case of who is hungrier.

    A lot of Carlton supporters coming out of the woodwork at my workplace. Their uprising needs to be put down. Brutally if possible.

    If we beat them they'll be back to struggling to hang on to make the 8.

    Do it Demons, for all the AFL.

    It's going to be a finals type of game. I think we have enough talent and drive to put their streak to an end. But it's a nervous wait for me. Not only will it help cement second spot but will help quell all the media noise that the blues are a real chance for the flag. It must be done.

    You know the answer to this EO.

    Right now it's a big test and we hope we are good enough to beat them.

    If we do win then Carlton weren't good enough anyway and we need to be 'a lot better'

    I love it, nothing like a good solid frenzy! Ok so I was a bit mean to Jefferson but he’s a big boy and I’m sure he can handle it.

    If we beat Carlton it might shut that [censored] King up for 5mins until he needs to tie his wagon to the next team that suits his stats. He is fond of a big statement Kingy, this weeks was the Carlton midfield are "brutal", no one can stand in their way. You have to ask; can anyone believe a man that plucks his eyebrows?

    Blues supporters are everywhere, maybe even on Demonland 👤🧐

    I don't think think the Carlton team that is fielded on Saturday night is necessarily a 'reference point' as it will be missing Walsh, Cerra, McKay  McGovern and Silvagni.

    The Blues managed to get over the Saints with a depleted side last week and that was a spirited win, but the Dees are definitely a much tougher challenge for Carlton. Should be a great match, am looking forward to watching it at the 'G on Saturday night ...

    You can only beat the team that's in front of you and we only managed to get over North last week and Richmond the week before who got torched by the Bulldogs last week.

    I think winning consistently is a better measure and Carlton are there on that at the moment.

    It all hinges on Curnow. If a job can be done on him, I'd back our medium defenders over their medium/small forwards. 

    Not convinced we will score a lot with Grundy in place of Petty as they're a very good defensive team

  • Quote

    Don't buy into the hype.  The Blues haven't made finals for over a decade

    With a full team they are a 6-8 placing team. And they are far from full strength

  • Quote

    If we trample them this coming Saturday night those footsteps will continue to get louder and the panic will set in all over again at Princess Park.

  • Quote

    I’ll be more interested in how we play. Sure a win is great but if Grundy does nothing and somehow Melksham kicks a bag then I’m not sure I’ll take a whole lot of confidence from it.

    We are due for a statement game. We have had patches of great footy in the past month, but nothing from start to finish that was without compromise.. .a game that will send a shiver down the spines of everyone else in the comp.

    it has to be a convincing win in both the way we play and the scoreboard. the opponent is irrelevant.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
