Need to avoid being the first team in the current finals system to go out in straight sets two years in a row.

Wild to think we haven’t won a final since 2021.

We will. The media can go and get .....

Seems to be a Carlton intra club going by the media.

Faaaark why is this umpire doing finals?!

I'll be heading in quite early today to enjoy a couple pf pre game coldies. Perhaps I should call it a pre game celebration as I'm extremely , highly, fully confident of a win!

There has been a lot of criticism of selection but to this I say 'bah" - we could play the drovers dog at CHF and still beat these pretenders.

Prediction - All over at 3/4 time.

Trac, Viney, Lever and a few other senior players disappointed last day out. They won't be as poor again.

Dry deck so no excuses for poor goal kicking. TMac and Fritsch will be better tonight

Carlton faded badly against the Swans and should have lost. We'll run over the top of them.

Max to lead the way as usual. He's a champion.

Dees by 25 points

Just cannot see how Smith and Tmac as our two main talls are going to kick a winning score. Chandler and Pickett have barely fired a shot the last couple of weeks as well.

The brunt of it all will be left to Fritsch unfortunately. 

Carlton have all the momentum and emotion wave going with them where as I question if the the mental and emotional toll from all the Brayshaw fallout will have an effect. 

Prove me wrong otherwise Melbourne. 

Pretty sure your not alone in thinking this. Throw in Spargo whose been out of this team for a while and yea, it's a nervous wait.

And Tom McDonald you have been given quite a few chances. 

But Im hoping Fritta will excel in these dry conditions and Kozzie and Chandler to put on the proverbial clinic.

Let's move the ball into our fwd line with speed and precision. 

No way Viney will have another quiet one. He will dominate tonight.

The big factor in this game is motivation. I imagine this close knit bunch are still fuming over poor Gus.

Not just the dog act itself but over all  the pundits who supported it.

The same ones who are delighting in hoping we lose four finals in a row.

Aint gunna happen.

If Gus does the pregame talk, we will win this on pure adrenaline.  This will not be a slow start.

The blues caught us napping a few times last game we met, but things have changed. 

If I can quote that strange orange man, I think this will be a game of "fire and fury" from us. 

I'm still so pi33ed off, I just want us to play a gf now so we can have some old fashioned justice. And I know it's wrong to advocate violence but I just really don't care. The Afl certainly doesn't.

We'll be fine tonight...  with our finals experience....
Yep all good ...oh wait...lost our last 3 finals... going well..hmm 

We'll  need to be ON from the first bounce... that'd be novel !!

Goodwin is backing his system  ( there is NO fwd system )..  he is expecting the goals to come from ???   Our kicking has been [censored]..  Petty was ok.. oh wait..  Milky was great....oh wait again..  Rooyen can kick...  oh oh...   Fritch got the yips... hasnt been too crash hot back from injury..   no one can hit a barn.
My advice to self ....get on the beers !! ;) Go Dees ( just not out the door....again ) lol

I agree BBO, I feel pretty good about the game today. Reckon we'll be fired up in the 1st quarter and likely have 3-4 goals on them early.

I was so nervous and excited last week.

I feel nothing this week. Footy has been less than enjoyable since last Thursday if I'm being honest.

Hope we put on a good display tonight and get the win.

It's Game Day and the Demons take on the Blues in a sudden death final at the MCG. A win for the Dees will see them face the Lions at their fortress at the Gabba in Brisbane and a loss will see them bundled out of the finals in straight sets for the second season in a row.

Carn Dees.

Do it for Gus. Do it for Petty and the Milkman. Do it for yourselves and us...

    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.
