Hogan, Oliver, Lewis, Vince and Jetta have been incredible.

OMac and Melksham worry me a bit. TMac had a good second quarter.

Keep it up Dees.

Now that made me laugh

I absolutely hate this stadium.

It took 20 minutes to get a beer. Just as long to take a [censored].

It is absolutely putrid in here.  Humidity at 100%. Bar ran out of water.  

 

We have a number of players who can only play better in the second half. Hopefully the loss of J Smith does not come back to hurting the last quarter.


Salem and Viney need to give us more, both are capable.

OMac's 1st quarter was horrendous.

Lewis, Jones and Oliver our best, while Brayshaw had a crucial burst on the ball imo, and his mate Petracca has been very dangerous.

Experience can mean so much. Lewis, Vince and Jones were epic in that quarter.

Structure means so much in modern footy. Changed structure and Roberton is hardly sighted. 

OMac....

TMac beginning to redeem himself. Weideman working very hard.

The grunt of Jetta, Hunt and Brayshaw makes me want to watch the footy again. 

Petracca, Oliver and Stretch - Wow. 

How can we play quarter 1 and quarter 2 in the same match? 

 

Stare cam? Really?

Gawn apparently went down the rooms with a stiff back...

I had a stiff something after that quarter as well.

Couldnt care less if i get shot down over this comment but I've had an absolute gutful of Oscar Mac.

Seriously? ?? Still playing like a deer in the headlights. Absolute zilch mongrel factors and doesn't want the ball. Please heal quickly Smith and hibberd!!!

I'm pretty sure he sustained that in the first quarter after pushing membrey in the back. Probably just precautionary. 


Brad Johnson appears to be going for the Teddy Whitten hairstyle

Hopefully it's not premature priapism

Might be the noise from Albert Park. Remember one year I was there with the roof open and the noise was horrid.

I'm more nervous now than I was at start of the game.  

Yep, first 10 minutes is crucial.


Can Duhwayne Russell stop umpiring the game from his fugging microphone?

Dont see how they could justify picking him on the basis of today. Development is one thing but there's a limit, surely.

  • 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.

  • 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.
