  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?

    Haha ...

    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.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
