The regular season has come and gone rather quickly. With the game over a week away, maybe it’s time to remember some of the moments that made you go bananas during a match this season.

    Beating Collingwood and Melky sinking Brisbane.

    Generally seeing the development of McVee, JVR, Woewodin and last two weeks Laurie and Turner.

    No stubborn Goody at team selections. Clearly he identified this in the off season from last year because it's evident this year that he isn't afraid to make tough decisions and move players around.

    The torpedo bump. To his credit, Smith shrugged it off

    Melksham's goal was right up there but seeing this kid run out of the G and receiving his last wish was special:

    Great thread, DZ!

    Mine is an off-field moment…. that Thursday night when we learned that the two-match suspension given to JvR had been successfully overturned. 🥳

    5. The train ride home after the Brisbane win. 

    4. The last half of the Brisbane game…you could feel us coming 

    3. Fritsch’s return against the Swans

    2. Melksham’s block of games….tragedy for him doing his ACL. He’ll be in rehab when we’re playing finals….simply unfair.

    1. Beating Collingwood when apparently it couldn’t be done

    eq. 1. Viney’s goal against Brisbane, GOTY for mine.

    The Petty/JVR/Melk combination netting 14 goals against the Tigers was top shelf.

    BEST H&A MOMENT OF THE AFL…

    Oh, wait, I thought you meant BT’s best H&A moment… EVER.

    Only got to two games this year - beating Sydney at the SCG - and seeing Jack Viney nail swans players in the last quarter

    Seeing the demons fans respond to the the Brisbane win was something special.

    I reckon that was the best non finals moment I’ve had at the G.

    In order:

    1) the Brisbane miracle thanks mostly to Melksham. You can’t describe that feeling when you’ve resigned yourself to a certain loss, only to be singing the song 15 minutes later.

    2) beating the Pies on Kings Birthday. The atmosphere was phenomenal and we needed to exact revenge after numerous kings/queens birthday losses.

    3) the comprehensive master class we put on Sydney in round 3 in a statement win against a bogey side.

    4) The Sydney win at the SCG. Very enjoyable last quarter to attend live after it looked like we’d packed up for the home and away season. Only reaffirmed our belief that the club means business.

    5) The Dogs win in round 1. After the 2022 finals collapse, it was extremely pleasing to start 2023 with a bang and prove to the league that we were going go be a serious player again.

    Hopefully there will be many more special moments to come next month across three MCG finals.

    I have no idea. But many of them look about 12yo so maybe that’s why.

    Massive kudos to Smith for how he took that.  He went right up in my estimation after that.  He would've fitted in perfectly in the 1980's.  Win 'em and wear 'em.

    Genetics mostly. Or decreased levels of certain hormones. Keep in mind you could have two people in the same family that have differing levels of hair body hair so it is complicated.

    That, or they shave.

    Watching McVee progress.  

    Call me crazy, but there is a very good midfielder in that kid. Hope he gets a chance to spend some time in middle in the coming years as his player awareness is Pendlebury like.

    Gotta celebrate all Melbourne premierships. Rd 1 cheering the girls around the G for their Premiership was indeed a highlight of mine.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
