Good to see our kick ins are still abysmal.

Hibberd looks the part for someone who hasn't played in 18 months.

Haven't seen much of Johnstone yet.

He's been adapting for 12 months 

Which is nothing in the scheme of things when you sit it next to Barrassi's 5 year plan

This chick is a terrible umpire. 

no way, she's been great 


I have waited for the day that Melbourne players would get the ball, know exactly what they are meant to do next and be able to execute quickly and cleanly. We just look very even with everyone knowing what to do. Our ball movement out of deep 50 needs work (please move Vince up the ground) but otherwise looking good.

Im calling it now.

Spencer and Weideman as lock ins for round one.

Weed works so hard and is very smart, a perfect foil for Hoges.

Spencer is in good form and allows Gawn more time in the forward line.

Both make us a better side, much more balanced and dangerous.

I'm pleased for Spencer but I'm not sold on having two rucks against the Aints at Etihad, round 1.

 

Loving Oliver, Hogan and Salem. 

Not loving Tom McDonald. Give his brother the ball. 

Hibberd can have Melksham's spot.

Disagree, Spencer hasn't taken a mark hasn't troubled the scorers and only had 6 hitouts. All of Watts Frost and Pederson are better choices


Tom McDonald has been one of our best.  No errors, no turnovers & he has beaten his man.  Is giving us good drive out of defence as well.

He's made the dumbest decisions with the ball he could make. 

Missed Hibberd in an acre of space which resulted in a turnover. 

Can't believe the size of this crowd!  It's 4 times bigger than a large VFL crowd.

Still managed to find the E&B roll stand 

:wub:

Tom kicked the ball out in front of Hibberd and Hibberd then transgressed the rules

Instead of diving at the footy Hibberd should have taken out the Carlton player with a hip and shoulder and then gathered the ball.


Melksham with good moments in the third quarter so far.

Max Gawn kicks his second.

Petracca is going to be a headache for opposition sides. Hard match up. Going to be some player. Last week he out bodied Marcus Adams, this week he is pin pointing blokes and moving like Jayden Hunt. What a hard match up.

Are we that much better? Or are Carlscum absolutely disgusting???

We are controlling just about everything. OMac has done some good things.

Meanwhile, Jesse kicks his third.

Are the blue naggers missing a heap of players? 

Wowee looks like a training run for us. The pressure we are putting on is exceptional.

In saying that our skills will cost us a couple of games this year.

Considering one of their goals came from a freakish boundary shot (from a young rookie), and now the umps just gifted Cunningham a goal (why I do not know). Carlton should only be 2-3 goals.

  • 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.
