Going great guns isn't he!

Excellent game on Sunday.

Just shows you what decent coaching and a bit of self belief can do!

Well done Matthew (who knows, you may be better than your tall brother :lol: ).

Our best fullback in many years.

    Agreed gets the job done consistently, a very solid and reliable defender.

    It's funny. I didn't even think it was one of his better games on Sunday. I'd have him in the top 4 in our B & F at the moment.

    He's been rock solid this year. Usually gets the number 1 forward every week and has rarely been beaten one-on-one all year.

    He'd be top 5 in the B&F at the moment.

    Moloney

    Davey

    Sylvia

    Warnock

    Bruce

    That's how the top 5 would be looking IMO

    Criminally underrated is our Matty Warnock.

    Pick 26 in the Rookie draft of 2004, and amazingly has played just 35 games so far!

    Which just proves if we do not get the No 1 Draft Pick next year it may not mean the end of the world. Good players are still out there. Matty Warnock is a gem.

    His biggest asset is his fight.

    He hates being beaten, and gets angry when he gets beaten, as does Frawley and Rivers.

    Anger is useful to focus the mind and enliven the spirit.

    I think back to Nicho, who could get the odd towling because when he was getting beaten he would drop his head and have a sook. Defalting himself and those around, especially me in the stands.

    You've got to get your chin up, swear at a teammate, and tell the bloke who kicked a goal on you that the next one is going to an F lot harder to get...

    Matty will be 26 in April next year and will be valuable FB as we progress in the years to come.

    • 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.
