Well at least we've gone like-for-like.

    I suppose they'll close the roof to ensure that it's a real game for running players.

    Having all those talls in the side at once should hold us in good stead against Carlton's runners.

    Another genius form of self-sabotage -- having too many slow bigs so that when (inevitably) one or 2 midfielders go down with a hamstring strain and another with a bad corky, we end up with Spencer on Judd at a critical point in the final quarter.

    When we're 52 points down?

    Been listening to the game? - no signs of that being the case just yet.

    May not be necessary, but it is good to have a contingency plan in place.

    Bailey is no fool.

    Nev Jetta, like Wonnaemirri, is under-rated.

    Could both become VERY important players for us in the future.

    Getting a little concerned. Sounds like we've got them well and truly under control. 4.1 apiece.

    My nails are already bleeding...

    Blues now 2 goals in front. You can stop chewing the nails.

    Long goal to Jamar early in the second...

    Geez, nifty and Jamar, with PJ a link man in there, Sylvia is back...

    If Ratten doesn't come out and grill the blues at half or 3/4 time, we're in trouble.

    45 plays 38

    What's wrong with Petterd? Also, Frawley doing a job on Fev, with assistance from Riv.

    Jetta has two and we trail by only 7 points - 6.2.38 to 7.3.45

    Poor mistake by Mcnamara, oh well. A 2-3 goal buffer all game will be alright with me.

    Whats wrong with Petterd and Liam?.....on the bench...

    Yeah my nails too!! :o

    Think Petterds strained his groin.. having a test at half time....

    Jurrah dislocated his finger in the 1st!

    Valenti fitting in well again!!

    I tell you what. If he kicks 1 more he's a chance. 2 more and he's be the leading contender to get a nom this week.

    A late season nomination is a bit of fools gold, especially in a mickey mouse award... But still... Reward for what has obviously been hard work that impresses his coaches.

    Jamar's best game, perhaps? 3 goals a PB. Against a good side too, BTW.

    • 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 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?

      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.
