Surprised not to see a thread on this, but clearly AFL finals have taken precedence this week. Hopefully the AFLW side can have a big win against a pretty underwhelming GWS side to keep us comfortably inside the top 4.

    • Demonland changed the title to AFLW: Rd 02 vs GWS
     

    A little background:

    Melbourne's Manuka win-loss record: First game at Manuka
    GWS's Manuka win-loss record: 2-4
    Melbourne's win-loss record against GWS: 4-1 (Melbourne last played GWS in R6 2022A, a 37-point win)
    GWS's 2023 formline: 0-1 (a 5-point loss to Sydney)

    Will be interesting to see who comes in for Fitzsimon, in a classic 'mystery injury of the week' scenario!

    Very impressive performance last time out after been challenged in the first half. Now that we've blown the cobwebs off i think you'll see a slicker Dees this weekend.

    Looking forward to seeing Chaplin run out for the first time this year. Loved her attack on the footy last year.

    AFLW is a nice diversion from the finals. Will help take my mind off last night's shemozzle. 

    Dees by 35 points

    I think the biggest problem here is going off into noddy land and forgetting about footy,

    I’m expecting another powerful win to stamp our authority on the competition.  Dees by 30+ points at chilly Manuka Oval (which has MCG dimensions).  
    PS.  I need a decent win to overcome my ongoing ‘Thursday Night Blues’.

    Paxy is a big out, but I loved the last half last week. We looked so dynamic. Excited to see if we can keep that form going.

    Would have to be one of the best quarters of anyone's career in AFLW!

    • 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.
