Death Ride 2.0

Random Task
in Melbourne Demons

While nowhere near as interesting as the great Freo ride of '23, we have two chances to have an improved draft hand by finishing above both Sydney and the Bulldogs.

We hold Sydney's 2nd round pick which can land anywhere between pick 21 - 38 and the bulldogs 3rd rounder which will fall between pick 39 - 56 (pre-FA and other compensation).

Get your mobility scooters ready people. It's time to ride, at a medium pace.

    Fair to say we gave up Grundy for a half eaten ham sandwich and a warm can of VB that's been sitting on the front porch for 3 days.

    A text book salary dump.

    Sorry but after investing so much time and energy into last year’s death ride of Freo only for us to use two selections on players who barely figured among the main draft contenders for most of the year, the entire death ride concept has completely lost me.

    As it is, I’m still very happy with our three draft selections and rather than waste time on getting excited about a plethora of irrelevant match outcomes, I prefer to sit back and watch JT show his talent and do his thing at the end of November.

    I get where you're coming from. The thought of being within reach of Reid, Duursma, Watson etc.. was tantalising and added an extra element of excitement. 

    For me, this year at least, death riding is less about the potential names thrown up during the year, but the probable improved hand that will enable JT and Lamb to work their magic.

    I'd say both Sydney and the Dogs are a bit overrated going into the season - realistic possibility that neither will make finals.

    Overall at present we have

    First Round: Our own pick (18, obviously)

    Second Round: Sydney (call it 30)

    Third Round: St Kilda and Footscray (let's say around 45 and 50)

    Fourth Round: Our own pick.

    Jason Taylor is like a kid going into a 1980s mini-market looking for lollies with a $1 coin, a 50c piece and two 20c pieces and a five cent piece. He must now work out how to get the $2 grab bag.

    Hard to get too excited about this but I'll death ride the Swans. If they do underperform badly then a pick around 25 could be ours. JT will find any nuggets to be had with that pick, I'm sure.

    I'm sorry but I'm still attending DR (death ride) meetings after last year's addiction with Fremantle.

    Knowing Freo's luck that means Pies and Port will contest the granny

    The death ride is about the journey (****posting) and not the destination (pimpley 18 year olds)

    No. I’m happy to death ride Freo again this year. Only because…………….Freo & 🔔

    Yes until I physically hear the rattle, I must persist in my ride of Freo despite the attraction of jumping aboard the Swans

    As a small child I was once attacked by a large Swan so their definitely tempting.

    Can we death ride Collingwood because of you know who and just 'cause...? 

    They can be deathridden down to 9th. I don't want to see the filth enjoy higher draft picks than that.

    • 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.
