2023 GRAND FINAL

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Just in relation to The Incident in the last couple of minutes today.

It happened to us and now it happened to Brisbane. They didn't stop and make the player take the kick because there wasn't any advantage. It happened to Collingwood and they made the player go back and take the kick.

    And then we sign up the pea heart for another year!

    one of the very few players I’ve ever seen that looks dead set terrified on the field. 

    Recruiters dropped the ball … premiership team yet we couldn’t attract a gun player in 2 seasons

    I pray we can reload and contend again next year or my love of the sport might have died today. What a sad day it is in this country where we see a pack of sexual predators and thugs celebrated. 

    For mine, if it has died, it died the day Maynard got off. Everything changed that day and I’m just hoping the change isn’t irreversible. The AFL is the custodian of our beloved sport. How dare they cheapen it as they do.

    Just feels flat. Usually have some happiness for the premieres even against Hawks and geelong teams I despise. But this just feels [censored] can't even feel the emotions from the screen that I usually can.

    I really hope the story of that game is the advantage interpretation.

    There’s absolutely no justification for how that was to the Lions advantage. That was a pure, out and out, mistake by the umpire.

    There is no chance in hell that narrative will be allowed to live even in one media cycle.

    I know the popular thing to do is bag the umpiring. 

    But we have so much to learn from that game, and from Collingwood. 

    They just won a GF with Frampton, Mihocek, Cameron and Cox as their tall forwards/rucks. They are relaxed, they balance defence with offence, and their supporters support them no matter what. 

    They were the best side all year and it’s hardly like they didn’t deserve to win today. 

    Brisbane were great, and it will go down as one of the all time best GFs, but rather than trying to tell ourselves they only won due to our poor QF kicking or today’s umpiring, let’s all acknowledge reality - they are the benchmark and they are better than everyone else.

    I watched Moore's speech because he is actually likeable but they won 3 finals by a total of 10 points.

    We have a lot of work to do to get back to gf day. Smart recruiting would help.

    So now I'm going to avoid social media, not even going to bother watching any footy shows even the sunday one & radio. 

    Can we start trade week now?

    What’s the point …. Focus on our team who’s recruiting in last 2 seasons of our premiership clock has been below par… we get Hunter who can’t kick & Schace who’s failed @2 other clubs & plays 2 games & a sub ahead of Grundy ???

    Too late to learn pies had two average rucks who played a part in the ein without being major goalscorers. Lost season for us.

    Who’s saying the AFL caused us to miss scoring opportunities???? Of course they didn’t, but what they did do is make decisions that effectively impacted the outcome of games, directly as well as indirectly. If you don’t think the AFL are writing the book think again. Because they are.

    I dont remember a season where there has been so much

    criticism of the umpiring from the media commentators.

    They must make the rules clearer so that it is easier to get it right.

    They should talk to Glenn James, one of the greats!

    • 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?

    • 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.
