It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    Clarry and may are big outs.

    Hopefully the eagles don’t decide to turn it on again like last year but with our outs I reckon this will be a close one

    Not confident but I reckon we win by 15 points

    Go dees

    Clarry yes, but has May out, been verified, or is it still just a training thread?

    Not sure re may. I read it on here and assumed it was a definite out but perhaps not

    I think it’s very possible, in which case I’d have to think JVR will be back in the team.

    11.35am start over here for me. Good timing.

    Watch the first, an apero or 2 at halftime and a relaxed lunch after the game to celebrate.

    Expect a win. Viney to wear Reid like glove and pester him to distraction. Sparrow to take him if he lines up at HB. Rivers to step up in a midfield role.

    Petty and Turner to not change ends at the breaks. Half forward, half back.

    All good…. Dees by 30 points going away.

    I heard May was gonna be a late out from someone in the DA who arrived in Perth yesterday morning. He didn’t say who he’d heard it from but I believed it because Maysie didn’t look right at training on Thursday, so it came as no surprise.

    Before our Freo match remember we were saying Freo had the wood on us, they’ll humiliate us again like last year, we’re gonna be 0-6 etc. Nek minnit… we chalk up a win. 😃

    Ima draw on that energy and bring it into today’s game for all to feed off. I have nfi what that means but I’m vibing a win so I’m gonna roll with it. Again, don’t know what I’m saying coz three hours sleep and no coffee. Zero coffee. Not a single coffee bean😳

    The mighty Dees by Dazzle’s fave player… 30 pts. 👹

    For all the numbers nerds out there:

    We beat Freo by 10 pts

    We beat Toiges by 20 pts ergo

    We’ll beat WCE by 30 pts

    Simples

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

    Just want to see more of that manic pressure we came out with after halftime against the Tigers. Do that and we go a long way to winning it.

    A good last quarter would be nice to see for the first time this season. (Provided we have played the first 3 consistently)

    it's funny, from 2020-2024 i was incredibly confident us winning every game

    now i have uncertainty as to whether or not we can even be competitive

    my mfcss is tingling; not helped by some random stat i saw the other day that meth coke win more round 8 games than any other team or some such poppycock

    do it for plugger mac, dees

    Our game is built around pressure, and it’s been building nicely over the last couple of rounds. Bring it consistently today, and it’s game over by mid way through the third, if not earlier. I’m backing us to do just that! Dees by 50+ points going away.

    Expecting a Tim Kelly masterclass. That guy always plays well against us.

    Also, I mentioned this in another thread, but I get the feeling that Harley Reid will be pumped up for tonight considering he was at the forefront of our demolition around this time last year.

    Curtailing the influence of those two will go a long way towards a Demon victory.

    • 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 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.
