    I don't even know if a win is helpful at the moment " just covers up the cracks". Still I want to see a win in fact seven more wins for the season.

    Feel this way as well, each year is the same it seems . Really confident at the start them ……..reality….jeez I hope win

    Got another two to smuggle into the ground for when I hit the wall which will likely be before the first bounce. 😁

    I am told to ignore how the team is selected, but I am hoping to see (as named) Langdon and Lindsay on the wings today and Viney forward, with Langford going through the midfield - looks like Sparrow might also go through the middle (because of the Viney move). Great day for footy in Adelaide. Apparently we have beaten this lot 5 of the last 6 times we have played them here. Go Dees!

    First of all we need to be switched on and highly motivated

    Then we have to share the ball with minimum long bombs forward

    Forwards need to play in front and give multiple leads

    Kick straight for goal

    Defensively we need to cut off and curtail Adelaide's offense. Our defence needs to play as a team within the team

    Recapture our harder edge

    Win the clearances, use the corridor and go direct

    Haha! Once upon a time we could do all of the above so fingers crossed

    Dees by 1 point

    Lots to be excited for. Be great to finish the year with momentum, take a few scalps and have the media on the Demon bandwagon heading in to 2026.

    Clarry and JV to quiet the naysayers, Tracc to kick 4 and Kossie the mark of the decade.

    Go Dees.

    Flew in Friday night with my daughters for their first ever interstate game, seemed like a good idea months ago. Nice day at the zoo yesterday. Brekky in Glenelg then will catch the tram in. This could get ugly. Any recommendations for a good pub near the ground for some liquid anaesthetic.

    mayfair, strathmore, hains & co, queens head

    10 goal loss incoming I fear. Only thing I'd like to see out of this game is JvR and Jeffo have a real crack and maybe kick a few goals between them.

    No one is expecting us to win this one, so a loss will barely make a ripple in the media landscape.

    A loss to North and then Carlton could spell an early end to Goodwin's contract though.

    Really no pressure on us so yep an opportunity for Jeffo to strut his stuff and Jvr to find his old self.

    Havent had time to read the thread nor look at last weeks VFL report, however, what has Lever and JVR done to warrant a call up this week?? Genuine question.

    We lost a mid sized defender and a key forward. We didn't really have other options.

    They are playing good team footy, they are hard at it and relentless, We will need to bring out very best today and try and nullify their playmakers whilst kicking straight. As previously mentioned looking forward to seeing our younger brigade earn their spots and contribute but if we are to be any chance we need all our older group to really come out of the blocks hard and play with real intent for the full four quarters. Go Dees.

    Nothing.

    No better options available to replace Petty and Howes.

    Can’t wait to see Nibbler play a blinder. What a loss he’s been to us!

    10 things I want to see today

    1. JVR leading up for the footy and not getting into wresting matches with Butts/Crows full back

    2. Trac and Clarry lower their eyes as they kick inside 50 and hit a target

    3. At least a 70% kick conversion from shots inside 40 metres

    4. Salem trying a few 35 metre kicks on the 45 degree angle into the corridor to create and impact (not 15metre kicks sideways)

    5. Tackles to lock the player in , not to let them get the handball away to running players

    6. May to shutdown Taylor Walker

    7. Langford to get more CBA across the match - hope he gets 7-8 this week

    8. Either Kozzzzy or Chin crumb packs as small forwards and create pressure and goals (Chin when Kozzzy is in the midfield)

    9. Harry Sharp and Tim Soarrow to hit the scoreboard with multiple goals

    10. Maxy Gawn to dominate and get another 3 votes

    And

    I’d like to see the umps give us a fair go and not be biased by the cries of the crowd as the 19th player !!!

    As much as I wish him the best perhaps best he has a quiet one.

    Answer. Nothing. Neither did guys like Spargo, Fritta or Sharp when they got dropped. It’s purely team balance that Lever and JVR are playing.

    Nibs and Tracc sharing big hugs during warmup just now. It made me sad to see them together.

    What is everyone’s pass mark for today, feel like if we can get within 4 goals that will be a great results considering where we are atm. Wouldn’t be surprised if we put up a good performance most of the game but get blown away in one of the qtrs and lose by 50 either.

    It’s rare that a player leaves our club and I wish them nothing but success. Nibbler is definitely one. Hunt another.

    Jeremy Howe on the other hand can shove it!

    • 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.
