    Melbourne 11.7.73 to Brisbane 4.12.36

    The rain was so heavy he could not see ground at times.

    Jake Spencer lifted in the last.

    Jnr asked Bailey who was the best in the youngsters and he replied, "They all had their quarter, but in the last quarter, it was Zomer!"

    Cam Bruce had a brilliant game. Jones also, particularly early in the game.

    Juice Newton had a solid last qtr

    Jared Rivers was good when was on.

    Brock McLean was dominant in the middle.

    Last quarter Brown got nothing, or was spoiled each time.

    Bradshaw was good, presented well deep forward.

    Travis Johnston brilliant, had ball on string, and disposal around 75% which was good for this game.

    Simon Black good 3rd qtr.

    That is all I got before he ran out of coin for payphone.

    Had just started telling me his Lions best when the phone cut out.

    I was pretty worried this would get ugly for us with the inexperienced team we sent to Cairns so this is a pleasant surprise. Fairly happy with how this pre-season is turning out especially in comparison to last years.

    Thanks for your efforts faulty, much appreciated.

    Not surprised to hear TJ play well, he seems to step it up in the wet conditions.

    We are a completely different team when Mclean and Rivers are out there.

    And if they can play a full season, we will be a darkhorse.

    This has been our best pre season for many years.

    We could have and probably should have won all 3 games.

    Sure they are practice matches, but in recent years the form a team takes into the season proper is a good indication on how they will compete for the year.

    I think we all have to re-evaluate our thinking for this year....the clouds are moving away and the skies are turning blue.....

    I just don't get why they don't televise these games, surely thee would get more viewers than half of the other stuff they put on TV.

    There is even no radio for these games. It's absolute stupidity...

    Good to have a win against a relatively full strength side with many good players missing.

    Woke up this morning to check the results and write ups in the papers. You would have thought Brisbane won! Both papers talk about Voss said this and that and then right at the bottom of HUN article a small comment from Bailey.

    We are the wooden spooners, it is only a practice match and we have no major sponsor so why go with a Dees heading!!!!!!

    Anyway practice match or not at least we still know how to win.

    yeah, the Cairns post has a pic gallery of the game, a couple of Dees pics somehow made it in towards the end :-)

    Same in East Bentleigh, but I thought the earth moved when a good looking bird looked at me then found out when I got got home the wife felt the same thing, lasted about 5 seconds.

    And post of the week goes to d3165.

    I have picked the Lions for the spoon this year, or at least 14-16th, so I take the result with a grain of salt, especially considering with the weather Brisbane were robbed of our customary 4th quarter fadeout.

    With that in mind, I am far mroe excited about the dees than at any time in the last 3 or so years. I reserve my greatest excitement for one Jared Rivers, who has proven yet again, what he CAN do.

    Well done demons, and have faith.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
