Captain’s challenge time.
I want to see how the AFL tick this one off 

Excellent idea, as long as it is restricted to one challenge for game-changing moments.

Well I am just happy Geelong lost and will not make the 8. Excellent. 

As for peeing and moaning about the Adelaide goal I am glad they lost. Their supporters are an incredible pack of [censored] and they can rot down the bottem end of the ladder for ever.

Yes some good came out of today’s results, Cats, Crows and Bombers not playing finals.

However there is usually bad as well and that’s Blues win over Suns by 4 points, courtesy of Curnow and again poor umpiring.

You don't mind when games are decided by objectively incorrect umpiring calls?

Once again crucial results decided by goal umpires being piled on by 9 players and goal line technology proudly brought to you by Nokia 3310 

Nokia 3310?  No. Surely Kodak Box Brownie.

Longmire said Papley had tightness in his hamstring. Lets hope it keeps him out next week.

..... alternatively, he plays and twangs it at the first contest.

I'd rather hope we clinch fourth spot tomorrow and can give Max, Viney, Oliver and Petracca plenty of resting time on the bench next week in a match where the result probably won't matter much for us.

Tom McCartin might miss with suspension for bump on McAdam.

There was still 1:18 left. If keys goal was paid then Sydney still would have had time to score. And they may have.

Nicks is right though. The first half cost them where they played terribly. They also kicked 4-8 in that final quarter

Went to the game with some Crows mates and were right behind the Keys shot. On my kids life that was a goal and can't believe it was not reviewed. The level of incompetency is a joke.

This is all correct.

Although it's fair to note Sydney kicked 0.1 in the last quarter. The odds of them finding a goal in the last minute were low.

There's no doubt that if that had happened to us the overwhelming majority view on here would be that we were denied a win. You only have to look to last week.

Yes, he's a bit of a show-off but he's also a livewire who would bring some fizz to our up-and-down forward line. Some pretty grubby characters in AFL history have also been fantastic players. Luckily we have the mighty Max, who sets our standards for both character and performance..

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.

    CATCH EM ON THE HOP by Meggs

    A sunny Sunday afternoon feast of finals footy awaits at our team’s favourite home ground, Ikon Park.  Great vibes at Princes Park where we remain undefeated from 7 matches and counting. Expect the Dees to come out strongly, sparring and outmuscling the Kangaroos in the middle.  With Paxy back firing and our gun forwards mesmerising, hopefully we catch ‘em on the hop. Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have filled ten of the twelve Grand Final spots in AFLW history, and this dominance

    COLD AGGRESSION by Meggs

    “Cold aggression”, Lions star full forward Dakota Davidson called it. Brisbane outmuscled, outran, and ultimately overwhelmed us. They certainly came to play and exorcised their 2022 grand final grudge defeating the Demons in the rematch by 25 points. Stats count and Brisbane won the key ones. Inside 50s 42 to 24, centre clearances 8 to 6, uncontested possessions 133 to 75 and 51 marks to 27. The Lions’ sustained pressure is the kind we usually bring for other teams.   There

    HOME PRIZE by Meggs

    Big stakes this weekend. For the winner, will it be a Dees minor premiership and potential home grand final or will it be a Lion‘s Top Four finish and a double chance?    Huge interest circulates in the how the ladder unfolds over this weekend’s final round of the 2023 home and away season with some 10 teams vying for 8 places.     It’s AFLW Pride Week, a celebration of people from all walks of life coming together, being respected, loved and accepted.

    WICKED WIND by Meggs

    Hang out to your hats. The strong blustery conditions made it extremely difficult for either team to execute footy skills but nonetheless an entertaining match ensured for those brave enough to venture down to Casey Fields on Saturday. Impressive Irish player Aine Tighe was a late withdrawal for Freo. Maddie Gay was also a late change, and she was replaced with 19 year-old Georgia Gall, the 6-foot ex Melbourne Stars BBL cricketer who has been impressing the coaches in scrimmage games.
