Okay fellow Dlanders, I'm going to call that we will finish 6th this season.

Hopefully we don't suffer too many injuries this year and our midfield gets back to its prime which sees us into the finals.

I imagine that the giants and dogs slip out.

Not long now.

Go Dees.

    Top 4 finish.

    Easy draw, everyone up and firing, seasoned team with good mix of youth, Rivers & JVR set to explode.

    Absolutely no excuses.

    Finish 2nd, smash Carlton in the QF on a Friday night in front of 97,500 fans followed by Brisbane in the Prelim by 26. Play The GF in front of a full house, Oliver wins Norm Smith, Disco kicks 7 and Max retires holding the cup.

    unless something goes horribly wrong, max won't be retiring at the end of 2025

    happy for him to be holding up the premiership cup bit of this narrative to happen tho

    Ok then Max confirms he’s going again but doesn’t mention a Dynasty this time around whilst also holding up the cup.

    I’m thinking top eight, but not top four. At who’s expense I have no idea, but I’m hoping that Freo implodes and does a Dees ‘24.

    We will finish 5th and Fremantle will finish 4th. Brisbane and GWS Grand Final. There are no excuses, and we have a great draw playing North Melbourne and West Coast twice. Harvey Langford to win the Rising Star award.

    We will be at the G on the last Saturday of September.

    To back that up I've booked a city hotel for that weekend - this year it is a non-refundable booking!!

    My long range prediction is that we'll win both the '25 and '26 flags.

    We have the cattle to finish top 4 but much depends on: 

    - a good run with injuries 

    - a competitive game plan. 
     

    if we don’t change the way we play, with a fully fit and with key players in top form, we could still finish top 8 playing predictable, defensive footy but we won’t cut it come finals against the sides playing the hard running, unpredictable, offence first footy we saw last season especially from Premiers, Brisbane. 

    The early signs I will be looking out for are:

    - Max taking marks around the ground and going back to take a long high kick down the line VS immediately dishing off a handball to a mid running past. 

    - the coach lamenting the lack of connection between the midfield and forwards after we have won the hit outs, the clearances, the contested possessions and inside 50’s but still managing a close win/loss VS the coach lauding our forward efficiency that got us over the line.

    No, No! 

    I meant the chant when the game is won!  ideally in the last minute after we had a 'Bang! bang, bang!!! series of goals ala 2021 GF but end of 4th qtr not the 3rd. 

    Oh such a sweet enhancement to the ChatGPT predicted 10pt win!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
