The Demons' outcome of a smashing victory will depend heavily on the small brigade running Port ragged.  

Yep. Port will be quick no doubt, but reckon they kamikaze run leading to fatigue later in games. If we’re smart, our smalls (particularly forwards) will be able to hurt them on the transition.

Also need to watch out for Marshall, he usually reserves some of his best games for us.

I'll be watching the match at the Sporting Globe (Richmond version). Any other Demonlanders going there?

PS. I'll be easy to identify ... an old man with a Demons scarf.

Are you my father?

    Get off to a flyer Dees.

    And the umps thanks.


    Nervous about tonight 

    If Port kick straight we will need to have a perfect night with all stars playing well

     

    I really want Petty playing forward but I'll understand if he doesn't.

    The fact that Hore is in bodes well for it to happen.

    Those two early marks he took last week reminded me of how much of a good fwd target he is.

    Bbb,Petty and Jvr will be tough to counter.

    Might be the afternoon of slugging ice cold beers but I reckon we’ll make a serious statement tonight. 
     

    Dee’s by plenty 


    Disaster ... the Sporting Globe (Richmond) is closed for renos.

    Can someone else suggest another suitable inner city pub at which to watch the match?

    walk down to the London or the Corner?

    To be honest I won't be surprised either way tonight. 

    But I hope we win to start off our Adelaide trip well & win for Jack

    Beg to differ on May’s performance/presence in the 2021 Grand Final. Definitely not a cardboard cutout, gave his fellow defenders and teammates a great deal of confidence. Had ‘Astroboy’ and his teammates totally bluffed. He was still standing 24 hours after the final siren.

    Agree.  Blanketed Naughton, as he has done countless times.  Dogs goals came from bontempelli and unlikely sources like Treloar and Johanissen, talls couldn't get a snifter...

    Hey Bingers! Can you make your way to South Melb? 50 Tope Street. Neita’s brand spanking new pub called Brewmanity. Neita’s gonna be there, as well as Robbo and Brad Green and members of the DA who aren’t here in Adel.

    Then let me know what it’s like coz I’ll be going there to watch Thursday’s match. 👌🏽

    Definitely, the umps .... 


    Should we adjust expectations for this game?

    Port are a good side and a tough ask at home.

    I believe we are good enough but it's going to be difficult.

    Will need our best from our mids and some luck re no injuries.

    • 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.
