Best on? Injuries? What's wroning with Hogan and his 3 goals? How was Oliver? inhen should I buy finals tickets?

Help a sister with third world internet out!

Viney, Kennedy, Watts, Maxey, T-Mac up there. No Major Issues on the bench. For his first game Oliver was fanbloodytastic. Put one or 2 seniors to shame (Tyson.... ughh). Not finals worthy...yet. Check In again about Rnd 6 !

    It's amazing how much better we looked when we had to play one less tall forward in the last. 

    Watts most influential game of his career. The penny appears to have dropped. 

    Fell back into some old habits in the middle of the game but showed how good it will look when we get the balance right.

    Great game # 50 for JV7!!  An amazing game from him.

    He has been so good for so long its hard to believe it is only 50 games. 

    Champion.

    Once we managed to get some isolation in the forward line the floodgates opened.

    Amazing to think that we completely ran over the top of them considering how Round 2 panned out last year.

    Kennedy has been a terrific pick up. Viney was heroic. Watts and AVB a mixed bag but some crucial score involvements.

    Fantastic win.

    Rules question:  When Pedersen had that shot from the boundary against the point post, aren't the GWS players meant to be further away than they were. One of them seemed even closer than last year?

    I am now going to smash some cans, listen to the new Nile and Karma to Burns Albums AND watch the Drug cheats get Ar5e rammed by the Ronald McDonald Suns!

    Good end to a good day!:)

    Should have been 10 goals down at 3/4 time. 

    Got out of jail.

    Over the last few years that would have been a ten goal loss.

    but now we win.

    good sides win the close ones now I am not saving we are champions but now we have the skill level needed to comeback and finally starting to believe we can win no matter what.

    A good start to 2016.

    Despite the misleading DE statistic, we were far too messy with our disposal in the first three quarters and stopped running and moving the ball quickly in the second and third quarters, but when we move it quickly, we look so good. That passage of play in the last where Oliver somehow managed to win the clearance, Jones got it, kicked it down Kennedy's throat, who then kicked it beautifully to Watts' advantage was sublime and is a sign of things to come.

    Kennedy was arguably the most influential player on the ground in the final quarter. Had 5 scoring involvements in the first 7 minutes.

    Viney has well and truly arrived. He is a star and kept us in the game through the middle period (and GWS' poor goal kicking).

    Watts was terrific in the first and last quarters and Oliver's debut (with restricted game time - would he have even played 60% game time?) was one of the most impressive debuts from a midfielder you will see. I remember counting four centre clearances in a row in the last quarter. He became more influential than Viney.

    Honourable mention to Maxy Gawn. A very good game, despite playing against an underdone opponent.

    I'd like to dedicate this win to Tom Scully

    He is still a terrible kick and has no poise.

    Coming home on public transport from the game.  Dees supporters everywhere talking, wondering, not quite believing. HAPPY!

    Is it just me or did a number of the 50/50 umpiring decisions go against us? (I know the free kick numbers themselves were fairly close.)

    I saw that, couldn't believe it, he should have done the stevie j put the ball on the ground and step it out

    Oliver won the first two clearances decisevely out of the middle to set up back to back goals at the start of the last quarter. Thats how a team gets on a roll.

    Some parallels to the Richmond Carlton game here

    Winning side got up with a big last quarter from their forwards 

    Found a way to win ugly and just sneak over the line

    Loser kicked themselves out of it it inaccuracy 

    Main difference we beat a quality side expected to push for the eight.  Richmond bear a gutsy Carlton outfit expected to finish in bottom 2

    So there's two different ways to look at winning ugly...I like our perspective 

    Go dees!

    Agreed, should have been 50 metres

    It was a team win, two good reasonably good quality quarters and two p@ss poor quarters.  If we can play four good quarters we will win a lot more games this year.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
