    Give us a three or four more Dees...the 8 beckons.

    When was the last time we defeated a team by more than 10 goals ??

    Rd 17, 2006, vs Bulldogs at the G.

    Hang on a second. Didn't we beat Freo by 60+ points last season?

    Sylvia with 5 goals. Hit the ground running... Even if most were junk time.

    Pity...Jones kicked a goal after the siren, otherwise it would have been by more than 10 goals.

    I'll take 55 points: I was only hoping for a 6 goal grind.

    Jimmy is greeting the boys.

    Woo Hoo!!!

    By the way. That's Sylvia's best haul of his career. 1st game back that he was apparently "eased into" according to the man himself on SEN.

    Daunting.

    Contested marks 15-11... That's huge.

    Stats corner with Dan.

    We've won 8/16 quarters this year.

    We've won EVERY last quarter. But lost every second quarter.

    most important

    JAMAR

    I remember seeing Jamar for his first game: slow, lumbering, confused, no football intelligence. Subsequently I fumed about losing Jolly. Hats off to the Club for persisting !

    Notwithstanding my obvious poor perception, I am still quietly hopeful the PJ will improve too - apparently he'll be considered for next week (after a stress fracture ?).

    Personally I still think Davey should be a goal sneak up forward, although more knowledgeable people than me argue he is more valuable pushing up from backline.

    We can do without 'A'- grade players for the time-being (but clearly we have some great potential players), but ultimately we will need a couple of big bustling bodies (a la Neitz and the Ox).

    So where are the people in the match selection thread that asked for Scully to be dropped?

    LMAO

    The kid is a genius, and already the best exponent of the handball I have ever seen at the MFC.

    Scully needs time but with his pace, engine and love for the inside footy he will become a possession machine...

    Trengove is just ticking along nicely.....next couple of weeks are exciting with north, brissie, watts, wona, morton to come back as well........

    Loving Bail - where has the kid been???

    Only beat tigers tho so true test comes next week, especially for backline

    Yeah, Scully has had his best game for sure, did all the right things,

    Allthough i must admit mate, i reckon he stuffed a couple handballs up, so dont get to carried away. Brett Lovett wasa fine handballer.

    All good though!

    • 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.
