Also if there are any supporters living near Wollongong please send me a message. I'm bored with forcing my basketball crazed son to watch games.

Would love to go, but getting anywhere beyond my local shopping centre is a bridge too far. They should be putting these things on at my local pub in Dulwich Hill 😁

Enjoy the event and Go Dees!

I hope the event attracts many people, Deeves. The NSW Demons sponsor Jeffo and that’s not cheap, and they’re his only sponsor.

It’s hard for them to organise events being that they’re not In Vic so I hope it’s a success.

Kelly’s a great guy and he’d have a lot of interesting things to talk about.

Great to hear from you GW.

I have high hopes for young Jeffo.

Apparently did well at Casey with five goals

He'll break through in the Seniors soon and then that.

Matthew will be playing in Sydney tomorrow at 1.35pm with the Casey team at Tramway Oval, Moore Park.

I expect we’ll also see Jacob Van Rooyen, Blake Howes, Koltyn Tholstrup, Taj Woewodin and Kynan Brown all playing. None named in the squad for Alice Springs.

Hope to see a few NSW Demons get along to support the Dees and Casey boys play Sydney.

Just trying to give this a bump to the home page.

Thanks.

You could’ve just bumped it, Deeves. You didn’t have to change your name

I wanted to change it to Leonardo DEE Vinci but thought it too lame . Then I had writer's block. As one can tell.

  • 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.
