    Not much to write home about based on the first half.

    Fitzpatrick and Dawes are solid marks up front, Sellar and Davis good down back, but the latter is a shockingly poor kick. Clisby okay running off half back.

    Blease is too quick for VFL players but has no right side, and Davey is too good for this level.

    Big concern is Toumpas. Has no intensity whatsoever. Big bum and short stocky legs, and certainly doesn't have much pace from what I've seen today.

    What? But others in this thread have said that his kicking is a lot better?

    14 shots to 7 against Port, KC? Are they missing sitters or is it the wind?

    They're blazing away a bit but have Port's measure although the Borough seem a bit undermanned. Shane Valenti usually kills Casey but he's not out there today.

    Can't agree with the above assessment of Jimmy Toumpas. Along with Magner, who's probably BOG here, Toumpas is dominating.

    There's also a bloke over at Port Adelaide called Hartlett who probably fitted the above description of Jimmy T but is now considered to be moving towards elite midfielder status.

    Thanks KC, I trust your judgment.

    I think most are just scared after the Morton and Gysberts fall out. At least give him a year before you begin to jump ships - much less than many gave Morton or Watts.

    God will you give the kid a break for god sakes it's his second (or third) VFL game and he has fifteen touches to half time. He's not a 100 game player being demoted and not getting a kick. Some people just need to relax.

    Hartlett has never been as timid as Toumpas. It was injuries that held him back, not intensity.

    In saying that some great defensive work from Toumpas just now on the half back flank, resulting in a forward movement that saw a goal kicked by Bonaddio.

    Why would you want GWS to win? It would only make us look more pathetic. If there are two teams that we should hate most it is GWS and GC for they weakened the drafts when we have been near the bottom and they are the teams that will destroy any chances of us winning a flag in 10 years.

    Do you think he's done enough to earn a recall for Gold Coast at the G next week?

    Crazy day here with ABC going temporarily off the air and two undefeated AFL teams struggling. Could be a good omen for the Dees tomorrow.

    ... oops, Bombers coming back just as those peptides start sinking in (I know, I'm scurrilous).

    Add that to the fact that Coburg are wearing Essendon jumpers and Essendon are wearing their own clash jumper...

    Leading Possessions Magner 19 Toumpas Davis Sellar 15

    Sellar! We're getting to have half a dozen of these guys. Too good (or just very good) at VFL level, but not able to bring it to the big league.

    Good to see Toumpas getting his mojo working. Great for his confidence.

    Magner shoe-in for the Liston, even if he gets promoted mid-year. Another 3-vote game?

  • Quote

    Fitzpatrick another strong mark and goal. 57-41 half way through the third.

    Magner is dominating, and if Matthews was 5-10cm taller he'd be a permanent fixture for any AFL side.

    Retract your comments about Blease because you sound like a fool. He is a freak on both sides of his body. His left is as good as his right.

    dawes and fitz the dominant Big men on the ground some great contested marks

  • Quote

    Why is running around to try to get on his left all the time then?

    He just laid a brilliant run down tackle.

    D Rod with a goal, 63-41 now.

    Fitzpatrick has a real presence as a forward.

  • Quote

    Blease laying some great tackles, really pleasing to see.

    It is good to see because this time last week he looked exhausted.

    Scorps by 23 points. They seem to have settled a bit and are weathering the storm. It helps to have some big blokes who can take contested grabs like Dawes and Fitzpatrick.

    I don't know but he's a natural right footer.

    • 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.
