Lever not in your best 22?

I still understand your point tho. We should win today. No excuses. 

Forgot Lever.

 

 

It will be very interesting to see how the players approach this game from an attitude perspective. I know last week they weren’t happy about the standard of accommodation and ground facilities (maybe sending a message to the club?), and played accordingly. Unprofessional you could argue. Another mediocre performance today, and it will be time to change something.

I have no idea where you got that intel from, but regardless, professional footballers making very good money shouldn’t be having a go at the club and putting up a stinker of a performance, because they aren’t staying at the Ritz. We won a flag when the players were in a hub for weeks on end. 


Freo played the same ground and probably stayed in the same or similar accommodation. Managed to win by 90+ points to keep their finals chances alive. 
 

If that really is the reason for the loss, and I very much doubt it is, then we have far bigger problems.

    I still remember last year when they beat us in the later round & as we we were leaving the ground some dim wit Collingwood feral yells out Melbourne fans can catch the train to Mount Buller station.  

    I didn't have the energy to tell him it doesn't exist.

    I just can't see how the Dees will kick a winning score. Forward line is a mess.

    I put money on the filth. I hope to lose that money.

    Well all now the first 1 minutes if Melbourne are going to turn up.

    Our bottom 6 players will determine if we win today.

    Billings, Laurie, Turner, Howe’s, Chandler & Tom “Free Fallin” Petty.

    What odds did you get for the team you despise the most? 
    A lot of money has come for the Dees the last 12 hrs.

    I got on at $1.94 last week. They went to $1.90 (favourites), but now $1.96.

    Demons now $1.84 on Sportsbet.

     


    Magpies have 7 top liners out. 

    we have 1

    We should win easily

    unless we play heartless footy like last week

    We will learn a lot today. Another meek performance and we've got a long road to hoe. 

    A genuine four qtr effort needed. Guts and determination before all else.  

    Go dees 

    Apparently Howe is playing forward

    Finally playing where he was recruited to play

    I'm sure we could all pass the hat and soften the blow( not on Maynard of course,).

    I'm not sure the lads will go after Maynard today. It will be interesting to see what will happen. Have they been given directions to just play the ball or will Goody use the incident to rev them up?

    There is the distinct possibility weim i will be sidetracked by the Maynard thing but it will probably be worth it. A blokes career was stolen from him so it warrants recompense. My monies on JV or JvR and a rare outburst from CP. 

     

    Would be great to see him flattened but in reality the real revenge is in winning the game, otherwise they'll be in their rooms singing their song and we'll be doing whatever losers do

    From a source very close to the players. And yes we do have much bigger problems

    Win and we go back into finals contention and top 8.

    Lose against a depleted Collingwood and we make the journey towards September even harder. 

    Up to the players now.

    If that is the cause of last weeks performance that is as soft as butter and an absolute disgrace, surely not the cause.

    • 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.
