Produced Fugazi among others.

He can't have been that old. That's a shock.

Legend is thrown around too easily in my humble, but there's debating his status as one of great producers, particularly in the rock space. 

Righteous fella too.

Vale Steve.

Yeah. Aged 61. Heart attack.

I used the wrong emoji first time up!

sad day indeed. 

 

Carlton I think are a very good team and much like us are very hard to beat. I expect it to be a very physical hard fought game and hope we get the win. 
 

I also want to apologise to everyone on Demonland and the club. I was one of the people who had us missing finals in the pre season poll. The clubs performance last week and the way the season is going is full credit to the coaches and players. There is still a hell of a lot to play out this year but it’s very hard to see us missing finals from here. 

I was wrong about us and I am very happy to be. Now let’s really turn up the heat on Carlton and get the win tonight.

I was already emotionally dead after the Collingwood final, that this loss meant nothing to me. 

After what happened against Collingwood the entire season was done and dusted as far as I was concerned. 

That we lost the next final because we couldn't kick straight, and also had JVR suspended while Maynard went free, is something I totally blocked out.

 

Don’t remind me. All I want is to jam Collingwood a new one on KB and then again in the finals. Personally I think that’s being very reasonable considering the circumstances. But first let’s just win tonight.

Go Demons, unleash hell.

Like many others suggested at the time, that qf was the grand final match and we came up short (for various reasons). I basically checked out after that, and watched the Carlton match on semi-delay-fast-forward. 

No one think BB might play/

Agreed. We're not winning if they're kicking plus 100.

What percentage of teams win when the opposition kicks 100-plus?

Vale Steve.

One of the good ones who fought for the little guys. A titan of, and for, the music industry. 

Never liked being called a producer, because he saw his role as simply capturing bands in their authenticity (even if he subsequently trashed them later haha). And never took any royalties.

Total legend, Vale indeed.

Any budding meteorologists here know what tonight’s weather will be? Seems like a small chance of shower but I wonder if it’ll be dewy again?

I went to the Carlton game and I was just numb. Considering the ramifications of the loss, I literally couldn’t care less. I was ready for 2023 to end the minute Maynard was free to play.

Absolutely Roost it far.

The big picture is smacking the pies and tearing them a new one come June. And then the grand final.....

It's just a must do.

So we need as much form and momentum as we can get. Gotta go in there tonight and take no prisoners.

At the end of the day I forget. This whole season is about beating the filth and then facing them in a granny where one could argue that we want to see a few bumps back on the day and the pies beaten like never before.

Then again I'm not much of a fan of Carlton so tonights win will be enjoyable too.

Straighter kicking tonight please lads, I do not want a repeat of last year and this time take care of @freekickCarlton.

I was completely the same. Albeit it's a long season, but for the most part I have far more confidence in our team this year as opposed to the previous two seasons. 

I wouldn't go as far to say that I'm completely happy, but we're trending in the right direction and very impressed that we've gone down the path of bringing in some youth to the 23 each week.

Given Fritter owns Q4, I think the answer is to re(sign) Jesse, and maybe go for McKay for Q1 haha (DEFINITELY NOT CODY and Naughton, meh). 4 qtr team right there.

Nerve shakin MFCSS over here.


I have a 9pm meeting I cannot get out of. Why does life suck?!

Why do we play footy on work nights?!

 

Curnow will be dreading this game

Who we got?  Melbourne?

Oh no, Steven May haunts my dreams

 

We owe them from last year. Lets hope it's not close like last year. 

Hope we have a good win & lever, McDonald & may play like they did last week 

McKay didn't play the last two times we've faced them.  In the 3 games prior to that, we haven't a match up for him he's kicked 9 goals, taken 10 contested marks and 12 marks inside 50s. And fwiw,  he towelled us up during the practice match earlier this year.  He's a very good player and the one we need to stop imo. TMac strengths matched up well to Cameron,  I'm not so sure for McKay, so hope he gets lots of help.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
