It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    I actually am thinking towards seasons end in terms of just show me something (I think we’re actually we’re actually working towards to be in place by seasons end) to make go yep I can see it. The result whilst I want to win is secondary

    We're talking game style here and ability to execute it? And specifically, the back to front slingshot transition, winning whilst conceding territory or...?

    Yes I can see the slingshot quick through the corridor movement were looking for setting up deeper than pressing up and locking it in with repeated entries as our only plan.  I really like it, looking forward to 25 in a similar vein to seeing us develop our team defence in 20. But you never know we may progress quicker than expected

    Well this is a big one. 

    I'm not sure how good the Scats are but ... neither am I certain how good we are. Consequently, your good old Uncle Bitter is sallying forth from The Manor tonight to find an answer.

    I believe we will win this game on the strength of our superb defenders.

    Dawkins has been quiet of late and , you would think due to fire, but if he escapes any flailing elbows, May will be too good.

    There's been speculation about who takes care of Cameron but I reckon it has to be Tmac. He has the tank to run with him and the body work and nous to counter Cameron's expected advantage in agility.

    Our mids will win ( Danger out helps ) and surely Viney is due for a big bone crunching impact game.

    Forwards ??? Hopefully Petty finally finds some form and some goals. I'm not sure about Disco yet but if he can snag a couple in this setting we will know a lot more. Hopefully one, or ideally both of the above get into the game early as it will take some heat off Fritta and allow him to do what he does best.  He is our key forward.

    Kozzie, as always, will have the defenders on edge and a couple of goals from the mids will also be welcome.

    PS. Rohan is a prime goose.

    Dees by 19 !!!

    I really want to beat the Cats. Seeing them 7-0 and sitting pretty on top of the ladder is nauseating.

    But to give the devil is due they are very well coached, have been executing their game plan superbly and in Jeremy Cameron have the most damaging player in the comp. It will be a tough assignment.

    Would be a perfect time for Petty to rediscover his form. He has been a shadow of himself since returning from injury

    I'm not confident but with some luck we might just get over the line.

    Oh dear this is a big game.

    That confidence I had of yesteryear is slowly diminishing.

    If we win this it will be back in time for the blues game.

    Come on Petty remind us why were worried about you being poached.

    And Jvr we give you the roo chant so can you please clunk a few more.

    A must win game for genuine flag contention.

    What a way to start Game Day. Reading the Age's back page lead article this morning on big Max. Greatest ruckman of this century says Luke Darcy (with Cox), and has most AA selections of any ruckman, level with Madden and Cox.

    Nice one Max.

    But leadership qualities to go with it.  Like watching Petracca and co its a blessing to be watching this team and probably a generational talent pool of a players group.

    Worth a pre-game read to settle the nerves.

    From the parts of last nights game I did see, I saw two teams move the ball very quickly and Collingwood kick to an open fwd line and back their players in 1 on 1. We always seem very congested, I’d like to see that change tonight.

    Time to step up or shut up.  Time to deliver.  Cats are a top team.  Strengths across the park.  Genuine superstar in Cameron.   We need to show that we are still a serious contender.  All the recent news is about the Cats, Blues, Giants, Swans, Power, ‘Pies are back’, ‘Bombers are rising’ and we are forgotten.   We are not to be forgotten.  Lift.  Trac.  Clarry.  JV7.  This will be a pressure cooker. Finals like atmosphere.  A big game. Let’s show that we’re not a falling star and have plenty of talent and determination left. Go Dees. Fire up 🔥

    Game day baby. Pumped!

    I just watched round 4, 2021 at the G v cats. May went off early after a Hawkins “accidental” elbow to the face. We still won.

    Good times. Go Dees! 

    See you at the G.

    Our last game was appaling but the moggies are due for a loss.

    Need our best players playing well to win, if Clarry, Trac and Viney can get going to their normal standards we’ll go close, then we just need to hold Cameron and we should have done enough

    • 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.
