Saturday morning is one of the best parts of my week. Lie in, brewed coffee and toast. All spoilt by having every media outlet (TV, social media & internet)gushing over everything Pies, Collingwood, and Daicos. Vomit inducing.

Having said that, yes Daicos can be soft, but he is an absolute gun if you give him a centimetre of space and has a habit of being "lucky" late in games. No luck, simply a very good footy brain and super skills to execute in high pressure moments. And channel 7 constantly showing his dad Peter is excruciating, but he is now a channel 7 person so this is going to go on for some time.

Is it wrong to want a whisky so early in the morning? I will leave the Dalmore, and maybe go the Monkey Shoulder (best budget whisky in the world). This might get me over all this Collingwood BS. 

Does not complimenting Daicos earn you  3 weeks on Lands sidelines.?

Saved by alcohol reference I guess

    This is going to sound strange because I know we don't pull the crowds, but I was surprised they didn't get at least 90,000 last night

    Was at the MCG last night. Other than the first quarter, Collingwood out tackled, out pressured a fairly listless Carlton. Quite simply the Pies were hungrier, wanted it more and Carlton had too many passengers. The worst performance by the Blues this season and amazingly still only lost by one late goal (mostly due to the goals of McKay and Owies).

    If the Blues bring that level of intensity on Thursday the Dees will win.

    I think McGovern is back for next week so perhaps a bit more stability in defence might be seen for the Blues.

    Still, I think the Blues are playing better than last season at the same time and being competitive and a chance to win even when not switched on.

    88,500 is still a big crowd for a Friday night.

    I hate the filth. That daicos goal made me vomit.

    I put watching a Pies win and a pap smear on the same level of enjoyment. 

    Except one is necessary and can save my life, the other is just torture for no gain.

    You could put the pies and the Pap smear in the same petrie dish without causing confusion.

    Did I just hear the commentator say welcome to a sold out SCG?? It's either half empty or a lot of people have come dressed as aqua coloured seats.

    I reckon visiting interstate clubs bring a bigger crowd with them to the SCG than GWS do.

    Coz Gws usually pants Sydney and the Swan's fans are the biggest fair weather supporters about. But I'm expecting a Sydney win today.

    That's because all interstate clubs bar Gold Coast have far bigger fan bases. I would hazard a guess that Pies have more NSW based fans than GWS have fans in total.

    Or perhaps the SCG to them is what Marvel is to our "supporters".

    Can I please take this prediction back?

    James Jordon.  Nice goal.   Wish he was still at the Dees.  A free agent gift to the Swans.  
     

    The bloke 23 Hogan for the Giants looks like a very good key forward.  😭😭

    • 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?

      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.
