I'd have said 40k isn't too bad when playing the smaller clubs like St Kilda and Hawthorn. 

MCC dining room was full to capacity.

Saints supporters didnt turn up, not even their cheer squad.....

    By no means am I having a go at you 58er, but this really grinds my gears. The thought that ‘fans’ would decide not to attend a match (that they can attend) because we suffered a loss the previous week. I’m wondering if it’s only when the loss is to a team who’re down the sad end  of the ladder, or any loss. Either way, I just don’t understand this mindset. 

    I don’t either but fans of all Clubs can be fickle. Saints don’t attract fans either and for the last few years their MCG fans vs us has not been much more than 10,000 really. 
    TBH we have probably not had 10,000 fans to their home games at Marvel either. 
    So people in glass houses…….

    Solid win in the end despite some prolonged sloppy periods especially in the first half. The real test comes in the next couple of weeks though, let's see how we go against Freo and the Pies.

    Eagles losing by 99 points today makes last week's loss feel even worse 🤬

    Test result - a big, fat "F"

    Hard to believe we were 56 points in front of a side, just 2 weeks ago.

    That game was an absolute false economy against a side that didn’t put any pressure on us.

    We’ve lost 4 of our last 5 games, including last year’s wooden spooners. Our only win was, as you say, against a putrid St Kilda who is a bottom 4 side. 
     

    Hawthorn have won more games than us in that time. Against better teams too.

    • 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.
