Won't go down well with the flogger wavers on this site but the opinion was asked for.

As far as I know I’m the *sole flogger waver here, surely you’re not referring to me, Layz. 😉 🙃 🫣

*In terms of regular contributors, that is. A couple of my fellow flogger wavers read DL but rarely -  if ever - post on here. (Hey guys! 👋  Seeya at the next working bee!🥰)

    No we need those flogger wavers. 

    Just not the ones that pick you off with a shotgun when you say you aren't sure about top 4!

    And honestly they're fine too, I don't care.

    I’m both types then. 🤭 Except I wouldn’t pick anyone off with a shotgun. I’m more of a slowly torture someone into submission kinda gal. 😁

    I'm getting a nagging feeling we might just explode this season.  Possibly in a bad way, but I think we could just as likely explode in a good way and not just be compeditive, but really dominate the competition on the way to that illusive flag at the G.

    Starting to get a little impatient with the off season too and thinking about counting down the days till Rd 1, oh - wait does that even work?!

    I'm not interested in an illusive flag.  I want a real one!

    No doubt in my mind we’ll be in the top 4-5 teams competing for the flag. The Clarry sitch is a major concern but we just need to see what happens there.( i have low expectations there). we need tall fwds to stand up and a consistent fwd line that the mids can get used to kicking to. We need to regain that hungry winning mentality in finals. we have good kids coming in which will help. there are no unbeatable teams out there so we are in the mix

    We did OK last year whilst Clarry was supposedly hamstrung. I'm confident that with Rivers spending more time midfield (not unlike Young at Freo) and Gus moving to the inside, we'll fill any need for midfield talent. 

    My wish is that McQualter works on our midfield/forward connection. I have little faith that Goodwin can improve that without a fresh face on the coaching panel. Improve our i50 conversions and keep the injuries to a minimum and we should make the grannie

    Must admit I’m feeling less confident for the ultimate success in 2024 as the season approaches. ☹️

    We need to get some positive news soon!

    Hopefully someone will train the house down this week. Please…

    We will be in the mix this year. I have absolutely no doubt about this. We have recruited well and a number of our younger players will step up . We have been a force to be reckoned with for three years now.

    The more the media drills in on our finals losses just cements the fact that they see as a major threat.

    There may be a couple of issues at present but nothing that will makes us fall of the cliff. I also doubt that our forward line will be so decimated by injuries again. 

    Hold on good Demonlanders.

    It's time to be excited.

    This will be the year of the Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    Despite the Press’s constant niggling and rehashing our two problem children’s storyline’s I am feeling extremely confident that we are in a similar phase as we were at the end of 2020. Our list is disappointed and hungry, we have recruited to fill needs and we have a number of youngsters that will be pushing for spots in the team. We are ready and primed, we may not win the first nine games but we will be in contention when it counts.!!!

    • 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.
