The way to deal with a young team like this is to hit them harder around the contest than they have been getting hit recently. Second last round I reckon they could put the queue in the rack if we make it very uncomfortable for them from the jump.

If we let them play the way they're wanting to play this could go very badly for us.

Smash them in the contest and take a 45+ point lead at HT.

Then cruise the rest of the game. If they try to come hard at us in the second half we destroy them with scores from turnovers/transitions.

 

Now that we’ve seemingly settled on our line up with the exception of Fritsch. We simply have to activate beast mode over these next two weeks heading into finals.

 

I would hate to be a Hawthorn player today. This is the beginning of our run to the premiership. Today it all comes together Kossie 5, Trac 4, Oliver 42 possessions and 2 goals, Max 320 possessions and 6 goals! Heaven help the Hawks.

GO DEES!

Grammar

Who have we held over from the Casey game? Looks like Schache and Jordan. Guessing Jordan will be the sub although maybe Schache has he can play forward and back and even ruck

I think you may have got this one a bit jumbled rufus. 

The correct phrase is queue in Iraq.

According to Greg Stafford, Smith will start forward today 

Obviously. We brought in Tomlinson. Where else would Smith play?

Definite possibility. If we line up as expected and take our opportunities. 😜

Might have exaggerated Oliver’s goals. 

Craigieburn line, Dees fans outnumber Hawks 10:1. 

Here I am early today at the G, managed a seat in the nth stand so on a bonus. Beautiful later winters day.  How many here today my estimate 41110. 

Schache sub

50k at least. My understanding is they expect 45k-55k off the back of pink lady, Gawn's 200th, and lots of free tickets given away.

Schache sub.

I love this. It's different by Goodwin and innovative. Gives us flexibility whether that's in the ruck or up forward. 

What a ripping day! Tram ride in is pleasant for a change!

Interesting choice.

Can only assume that the FD don't have much faith in either Smith or Tomlinson and will make adjustments accordingly.

Interesting. Well we'll see what he contributes when he gets his chance

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
