    Tonight is for our Fallen Brother!

    Like a vigil? The cliff edge where the digger was shot?

    Maybe we can just win it for him.

    For some reason the idea of bringing Tomlinson into the team and playing May forward keeps coming to mind. It's left field, but all the other options are underwhelming....

    If he didnt have a big left hook on his kicking AND we had a close replacement i reckon it would've been given some consideration Bingo

    Appears we are going with Disco for JVR this week.

    As Gary Lineker recently said on his podcast “when I went to Barcelona I was chasing and tackling and the players stopped me at half time and said ‘what are you doing, you’re here to score goals.’ I said to myself ‘I’ll have a bit of that’ but when I came back to Spurs I had to do that nonsense again!”

    Not worthy of a new topic, however, would like to know if people think this group of players gets a bit of stage fright early in front of big hostile crowds at the G?

    I know they’ve got Grand final experience (albeit at Optus) but it seems that whenever we play in front of a large MCG crowd against a another big Victorian team we start poorly.

    Some recent examples:

    Round 6: Richmond ANZAC eve - poor start

    Round 13 - Collingwood KBD - poor start

    Round 22 - Carlton - poor start

    QF - Collingwood - poor start.

    I know we had finals wins in 2018 but Geelong and Hawthorn crowds don’t have the same level of goading and intimidation as a Pies/Blues/Richmond crowd. 

    I don't thinks so only by the unfortunate stat that we have started poorly in quite a few others.

    I admire our fight backs but it's frustrating that we are putting ourselves in these positions.

    But kudos for attempting to explain them. It's quite strange.

    Once again we are mentally and physically falling apart in September.

    2021 was a blessed year... shame it happened 9000km away from most of our supporters.

    Great pickup RPFC. That old English work rate!

    Also didn't know he had a pod.

    Goodwin will have to be forced into playing Grundy he doesnt like change and will resist it he should have realized earlier Max cannot do it on his own and played Grundy against Collingwood just like his idea of a Forward Line he wont admit that he was wrong i blame him entirely

    My understanding is that Gawn has had this for a few weeks now and just has a needle pre match.

    Yes but if he goes down we only have TMac or Joel Smith to ruck. Grundy has to play

    And it should be said Grundy is an 2xAA Team member and a 2x Copeland Trophy winner.

    If he is picked he will go nuts wanting to play in a Prelim and a GF

    He is primed.

    If he isn't picked that will tell us a fair but more about Goody

    If only we had some other ideas as to using players........

    Amazing to see him up and about! 
    It truly is sad how little I care about this season now. I just want Gus to be ok.

    The C'wood supporting morons in the media and supporters will cite that as evidence that he was faking it the whole time.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
