Very smart kick toump

It's the 3rd score assist I'd give him. Not bad for just over a half of footy.

    Trengove starting to get a bit of it.

    Vince is a star.

    We are giving players like Varcoe and Duncan too much time.

    Varcoe hates pressure, so can we just stick to our man, for christs sake.

    It's quite amazing really, last year we lost to GWS, now we're seriously challenging Geelong with alot of our guns out and people still aren't happy

    Bernie Vince 21 touches to half time. I remember days where we'd have nobody have 21 touches for the whole game. What an absolute bargain we got there.

    17 touches to Dom Tyson as well.

    i love Bernie Vince.

    That's what happens after our first decent win in a few seasons. We all expect it to simply happen again and anything less is not good enough. We are still making mistakes, which we will do, but there are still lots of positive signs for us.

    Duncan yes. But Varcoe I'd give the ball to all day. He's a black Sam Blease, plenty of run, not much game sense.

    Turnovers are destroying us.

    They have a run on, this is where we find out how far we've come, do we fight back or get blown away?

  • Quote

    At some stage we just have to hold the ball up. Particularly if we've got in on the far open wing. Just stop, hold it, take the 10 seconds you get then move it on.

    Turnovers are always going to be costly vs Geelong: they are still very classy.

    We can learn from this.

    Most of Geelong goals are from our turnovers.

    Left arm spoil there Tommy Mc! Walker is a plodder he could've got that. Frustrating.

    Cats really doing nothing this quarter. It's just us making mistake after mistake.

    • 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.
