I hope Demonlanders don't mind a wee indulgence.

Earlier this week MFC attire was proudly and contentedly worn into 10 Downing Street. Photos below.

In a surreal experience, I was invited to a reception at Sir Keir Starmers digs with a small reception celebrating London Tech Week. I had low expectations as the quality of global political leadership is bog ordinary. Maybe because of low expectations, I found Keir (we're first name basis now - not) to be a most engaging listener and speaks from the heart. For our small audience anyway. But it was an easy environment. The UK is really backing tech to bring growth to the economy.

Everyone had to hand in their phones to police when we entered 10 Downing. It was just like an airport check-in with passport ID check, pockets emptied and metal detectors - except it was all manned by experienced police who were incredibly respectful and polite - big difference to an airport.

Walking through the hallways filled with paintings, pictures and busts of historical figures ws dream-like. There was a long staircase just like in the movie Notting Hill in which Hugh Grant busts some dancing moves. My younger daughter reckons Hugh dances like me, so I was tempted. 🕺😂 At the bottom of the staircase a staff member both guarded a side room and provided directions. I asked her if Hugh had danced in these rooms. She laughed and said it was all filmed elsewhere.

As I said - surreal. But, strangely, not unlike @Ghostwriter and her game socks, I felt comfort wearing those Dees socks and links.

Awwww this is great! What a wonderful experience and such an honour for you, and all while wearing your Demons Cufflinks and socks ♥️💙

Now you know what I have known for a few weeks:

There’s no power like the

POWER OF THE SOCK 👊🏼

 

Dunno about you, @Dee in a Kilt but I’ve got my lucky socks on 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I don’t have cufflinks but my Melky earrings should do the trick 😁

The sock pic gives away one piece of 'kit' obviously not worn, @Dee in a Kilt!

You're not a Hamilton btw? That would have been the almonds on the Dundee!

MFC supporters are clearly a class above the rest. Fine food, good automobile appreciation, fine wines and clothing. Enjoyment of the high country and less booing.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
