Hogan couldn't kick a 20 meter goal last week and nails this one. 

It's all about confidence!

He's always been a better snap than traditional kick.

Just calling it like I see it from the game.

 

Don't see you talking about anything positive though, only negative.  Plenty of good, positive stuff so far that you've neglected to mention.

 

Maggots have just one technical skill - bouncing the ball. Just not up to it. 


Hogan kicks his second.

He is just a good kick and sometimes he has a [censored] day. 

To say he is awful at kicking like some were saying last week, is not true at all.

Wagner nice intercept then Hunts run was very nice. Hogan goals!!

The Hunt run was fantastic.  Exactly the sort of stuff we need.

Truth lies somewhere in the middle


Another one to start well today is Bugg - 11 touches, 3 tackles, 5 contested possessions in the first quarter.

And some want him dropped most weeks.  Madness.

Good to see Hogan kick a few snags. Here's hoping he can kick a nice 1/2 dozen.

Cant wait for "Changes for next week" thread where someone will no doubt be calling for Bugg to be dropped.

Oscar Mcdonald needs to bulk up. lacks the strength to play KPD at the moment.

Agree....but has a bit of footy nouse 


We should be miles in front.

 

Need to keep scoring pressure high as when they do get some to run and carry they have the players to do so, if not necessarily deliver it.

 

Petracca's kicking needs refinement but the kid is highly exciting.

5 goals to 2 up at qtr time and we're all a bit disappointed, and we know we should be ahead by more except we fluffed some chances.

As we should be.

But it is a far cry from the years of feeling like being down 5 goals to 2 was a better than expected start!

Ought to be 8.3

Got to kick them  when they're there Dees !!!

A positive qtr. Reckon we are just warming up.

Gawn with 0 disposal and 9 hitouts.. Does not look right at all.


Is Oliver injured??? 

the mac brothers are shocking

Lucky

 

Up by 21 x 4 = 84 pt win???? I'm happy....car'n the redlegs 

The Lions do one thing well - dropping the shoulder.

Gawn gets his hands chopped and gets nothing.

  • 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.
