Must have been 3rd. GWS heading back to Punt Rd end. Magner did a good job on the No. 1 P_ick.

    Grimes was the first to shake hands with Scully, and then had a longish chat. I saw about five players in all talk at length to him, but I did not see Trenners go to him which is interesting since Jack T was the one who most often was wheeled out in Scully's defence last year to talk about what a quality fella he is and how we all hoped when his decision came 'at the end of the year' he would stick.

    I did not think anyone showed disrespect to Junior. I even cheered when he ran down Jones in the first quarter. Sensational effort. And McLardy said at the prematch that he had told Junior he was welcome back any time he wanted and it was hoped he might come back in some coaching capacity.

    A thread about Sully who left our club for a deal of a life time & when our footy dpt was in a mess!

    Carrying about booing & how they booed... really cmon!

    I also was very angry when I left but understood why, remember we are not the only club that lost a star/potential

    Lets face it we beat an u19 team, lets not forget we are 1-10,

    This is life - if you make a decision that nets your father a paying job (oldest player on an AFL list BTW), and raises questions about your integrity with your insistence on the fact that you have not left the club as you boarded a flight to 'check the facilities' as it were - you are going to be ridiculed.

    He got booed. There were signs. There were kids with fake money.

    So what?

    He will be ridiculed for his actions for a few years yet and while I hope most of Demonland moves on, he deserves what he gets.

    I think it was when he tried to lay a shepherd after giving off a handball. Magner gave him a solid bump and he was winded and doubled over for a while...

    I watched the Sheedy presser after the game late last night and couldn't help thinking Junior felt a little uncomfortable as Sheedy spoke of Melbourne giving him the "sack" and Scully sacking Melbourne, regarding the jeers and cheers yesterday during the game.

    I'm hoping those at the club will get him back in some capacity. He's Melbourne and belongs among those to help rebuild our great club to where it aspires to be. The past FD are gone.

    Junior, do what you've got to do, then get back. And bring someone back with you....

    Does he actually live with the other players at Breakfast point? Wouldn't think he'd fit in very well.

    Junior KNOWS he is and will be welcome at anytime after his defection is over :)

    Junior didn't defect, we gave him the boot. We are the villains in that story, and I for one would be happy to see him back in a coaching role when his time at GWS is done. If you saw the way the Melbourne boys reacted to him, he still has a lot of respect from them and it is a pity we threw him away when he still had so much to give.

    • 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?

    • 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.
