I have to say it's been a while since we won and won the first round let alone kept going, normally we would have just rolled over once GC came back at us.

Its even nice to see us in the 8. My kids ask me every time the ladder has come up on tv who are we ahead of.

I try to explain to them its round one, but the happiness is there for them.

    I'm still explaining it to myself. It's a slightly uncomfortable feeling in a way. Despite my eternal optimism I'm nervous that we will slip back. I guess we have to expect to lose more than we win but the enjoyment after the siren on Saturday was sensational. Uplifting, seductive and addictive. I want more!

    I'm still smiling, but I'm also watching Hawthorn play Geelong and realise we have a long way to go!

    But I believe we're starting to assemble a side for the long term.

    Just happy to see the smiling and happy kids (and their proud but relieved parents) in their Demon gear in the last 5 minutes, at the siren call and leaving the G. That made me smile

    I'm still smiling - I watched the replay yesterday and in part again today. I have threatened anyone in my household who dares to suggest that they will delete it.

    Happy to be back to work tomorrow to discuss the weekend football with my usually smug Essendon and Geelong supporter work mates!

    Still grinning letting a few rival supporters know about it.

    The real test will be when we have a bad loss and how we come back from it.

    I am hoping that this group learns to play hard attacking accountable football every week no matter what the outcome of indivigual games and yes I still have a smile! Will be hard to shift this week.

    I plan on buying another three os memberships for friends, I'm so happy about it. I even managed to stream the game and watch it live while sitting in a hotel room with a 12mm bullet hole in the window. Another win and I will be convinced it's time to return to the G to see a game live.

    • 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.
