Yeah. We had randoms sitting in front and behind us all night in N53. Dees and Cats supporters. They would sit for a quarter and then be replaced by other randoms. 

Is because the MCG no longer checks tickets. It's appalling. I don't know what they can be thinking.

    If you set 2021 as the standard you will be disappointed. That season was elite. 

    Do you think we are a contender in 2023 or not?

    We weren't, we lost our two finals.

    I think we need to be putting more score on the board for us to be a genuine contender. 

    It is simply not sustainable for our defence having to continually keep the opposition scores less than our own when we aren’t scoring heavily ourselves.

    Do you all think Danger would have made a difference?

    As he wasn't there it doesn't  matter.  but think about all the games in the past when the opponent had key players out and we thought it was our chance and some random would pop up and dominate us.   So you play the best the opportunity can put up to us.  And we beat them.

    Chris Scott is one of the main reasons that I hate Geelong with the fire of a thousand suns. 
    He is the single most arrogant, self righteous, ignorant piece of trash in the AFL. 
    What a sore loser.

    Embarrassing game day thread as always. So little faith in the boys. 
     

    Great match. Great result. And eat [censored] Geelong 👏🏼

    Except my stuff in the gameday thread. That was just class, like Windsor.

    I agree with him for out team 5-2 ism good enough, we should have been 6-1 (Sydney were good) I take it saying with our talent, we should be at the top and we needed to show it tonight and we did.  Go Dees.

    Looks like we're watching in tandem. 

    We apparently haven't been good enough in the last 3 years for the quality of the list. 

    I know we've had two straight set exits but 3 15+ win seasons isn't too bad.

    He's overrated apparently to some bloke named picket fairy on here.

    I sat next to demonland royalty tonight, incl @picket fence, @Bitter but optimistic and @Biffen. 

    I think you'll find picket is taking the [censored] most of the time with his comments.

    I was, however, most concerned that he 'conveniently' left his cards at home and only brought cash. And very little of that too!

    It's fair to say that the MCG cleaners will spend considerable time and gurney pressure working on the area we were sitting

    Sure. Presumably so did our 3 extra days rest.

    Maybe Bowey, Salem or Melksham would have too?

    Well where Danger is concerned I actually don't think he would have made a difference.

    Unless he did his forward thing and gave us something to think about I think our defensive structure was set for anyone they would have run through their midfield tonight.

    I don't often delight in other people's misery but beating a Scott brother always feels good.

    Yes, it’s a pity that WCE did not spoil the dons party in the west. Even a draw would’ve been hilarious.

    Scott-enfreude?

    Personally I loved watching Scott have a post-game sulk.

    Can't help thinking that Geelong fans must really, really hate us by now.

    I mean... really. We 'stole' their minor premiership, humiliated (Correction: abjectly humiliated) them in a preliminary final, and even plinked them out of the 2018 finals, and now we've busted their winning streak and possibly their whole fragile momentum.

    And on every occasion it was flu or some other tragedy.

    Can it please also be us who have finally cracked their shell of invulnerability and ended their era?

    It’s going to be hard to beat for the GOTY I reckon. That degree of difficulty on that was off the charts.

    you mean a Germ gem!

    5-2 was good enough with our injuries and draw!

    of course i wanted to deefeat Lions n swans but we were without Kozalenko You Beauty! due to Kozzi's lack of discipline.

    Germ only thinks of life from view along Hypocrite Hwy - the Family Club which promoted toughness but it was legalised thuggery IMO  (Germ, Dipper, Ayres, Jeans the leaders - did I miss anyone like Tuck?).

    Germ from one awful club and he has no idea of current footy tactics!

    Great win. Nothing more satisfying than knocking off Geelong.

    Lever and May will probably go down as our two best key defenders in history.

    what about Sud n Biff?

    did Fritta look to put ball into goal rectangle with hope someone run on and kick it thru and happenstance "kicked in"?

    Haven’t had the pleasure yet of actually watching it. I’d be surprised (disappointed) if he didn’t make mention of having to travel to the G as another reason why they just lost.  
    (I’m guessing our next home game against the kitty litter will be in 2028 at the earliest.) GO DEES

    • 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.
