Norf, based of exposed form, will pull our pants down.

Sounds like our form is going to be exposed.

    Clayton’s hand reinjured at training…clearly hasn’t been right all year. 

    Any mention of how long?

    No mention that he will miss, but they were doing a tackling drill and Kolt got Clarry and he got up grimacing and holding his hand.

    I thought the guys were on a 6 day break? Was there a training session? 

    A bloke from an inner suburb  on the north western side of town said he  thought he heard something went on down at the local in regard to wagering.

    They are. It ended today. If there was a training session today (on a Sunday?) they weren’t all in attendance.

    edit: they did train today. Not all were in attendance

    After watching North vs Pies today I would say that North are red-hot favourites to [censored] us next week.

    If it was / is that dodgy he was probably a week to week proposition anyway.

    Then you have to ask, why did we play him vs Brissy when all the signs and the timing said don't.  He even came off the track after the Cap run that week and looked very worried, chatting to trainers for at least 3 to 5 mins.

    Give him that week off, get the opp, then another 4 to 6 to fully heal.  He's back for the Saints match (latest).

    Instead we gave him the bye to get over the opp and straight back into it again for Anzac eve.  Has never looked fully right besides maybe one or two reasonable games since.

    He effectively missed the pre-season, and has been playing catch-up ever since. Regardless of what's going on with his hand, he's never going to be fully right until next year.

    The players were mostly back today for the mid season breakfast meeting with their club sponsor. Training was after breakfast and I was told the emphasis was on goal kicking. From what I saw on the news the emphasis was on tackling and pressure (Clarrie came uo saw in a wrestling match with Kolton).

    I believe McVee wasn't available not sure if he has an injury. I would really like to see him in the midfield for a stint.

    Our best in form wins came against Port Adelaide, Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs.

    Can't count St Kilda as a one of our best wins lol. They're absolutely crud..

    No coincidence that BB played alright in those games where we had blokes like ANB and Langdon playing their natural position. 

    And beating the previously-undefeated Cats. Which feels like it was in a different season.

    Pies were bad first half.  Loading?  Were witches hats for Norf training run.  Switched on 2nd half and shot them lame duck that the shinbones are.  We got this.

    Yep.

    Unfortunately same goes for petty, McAdam, BBB and possibly tmac (I say possibly because tmac has looked in remarkably good nick given he had an interrupted preseason).

    Jon Ralph had a red hot crack at her last week on Foxtel's mid week tackle.

    He said you never hear from her in the tough times.

    • 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.
