Good question. He looked as weak as [censored] today.

That opportunity he had at goal in the third qrt I think he should have kept running and drawn the opposition player from Dawes and hand balled it over to him to kick the easy goal.

Instead he had a shot from 35 odd meters out and missed.

Was not on his game tonight but hey we still WON.

    What a great win. I'm so excited at the changes I see in the team and the way they are playing. Every week just a little bit better. Good on you boys. The song was song loud and clear in this household tonight.

    Jamar has been ridiculed on this site from a number of posters lately.

    Time to give him his dues he was good tonight and looked strong.

    Also liked that mark and goal he kicked too.

    A toast to Jonesy as well. For whatever reason he just couldn't get his hands on it, so he responds by laying the most tackles on the ground and kicking a crucial goal.

    At half time they showed footage of him pre match and he looked sore , maybe tightness in his hammy or possibly buttock, also went down to the rooms on his own before the match. We are lucky he saw the game out I reckon!

    Jones with another Captain's goal, why this feller wasn't made captain a few years back is [censored] beyond me.

    I agree Song "This feller" is a genuine A grade midfielder. He gets FA recognition because he plays for Melbourne yet he is in the top echelon of mids!!

    They showed Chip walking from behind and he is out of wack - back or something . He needs not to go to ground when tackling .he worked hard .

    I don't want to go too early on this but - we're back! Pigs can fly Melbourne can win interstate. Anything is possible.

    Now Reverend I think you may have had a wee dram to much.

    Cork back in the single malt.

    However IMHO there is nothing like beating the crows in Adelaide.

    Jones doesn't pass in the 50 arc

    He is good but pisses off a lot of players

    Can't see him being dropped in the next five years though .

    Saw that, which makes his effort more admirable. He's a ripper.

    One game out of the 8 atm and we should have beaten gws saints and gc.

    Is it possible we are much better than we realise?

    Lets not get ahead of ourselves a Gutsy win by our Finger tips . I dont want to rain on the parade but still plenty of bad habits to get rid of

    After last weeks Game I said the positive was we no longer capitulate.

    Today's game proved that in Spades !

    For now I am happy and ecstatic about the win and we all should be so . Lets just hope there are more before seasons end and I will dine out on each and everyone of them . But for now the change is happening lets enjoy the ride both the ups and downs in the knowledge that maybe we have finally turned the corner and seasons need no longer be like having teeth drawn!

    Agreed. There was a looooooong period in that match where we simply couldn't buy a goal and it took a pretty soft free to Dawesy to break the drought.

    There is still a mountain of work ahead but these are very positive steps in the right direction in terms of structure and effort.

    What the hell is this RD?

    Even with my bi folkies I can't see it.

    I think you can click on the image to enlarge it.

    It's Mitch Clark tweeting "It's a Grand Old Flag"

    Thought it was noteworthy.

    Do we have to start the negatives? Every supporter knows where we are at, but we can celebrate a win, all I care about tonight was we didn't wilt, we got in front and stayed there, it's a great start...and the players know for it to happen again they just have to reproduce

    If Jones kicked the captains goal then Grimes made the captains spoil. Very nice work by our skippers.

    • 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.
