As much I hated Hogan saying touched, I loved it. A batsman walking. Sportsman.

Although, he was saying it to prepare the defense.  

 

We wasted the ball all day but a win is a win is a win.

Rather Pederson than Watts. Any day. Oh and I'm not sure having two captains is such a great idea. Whose going to stand up? Jones. 

We have to learn how to beat teams that play defensively against us and have a spare or two back. When we are the "hunted" not the "hunter".

If we don't, we won't go anywhere.

Great sign we found a way to get the job done despite playing fairly poorly....last year we drop this one


Wow! I really didn't think that was going to happen.

Winning ugly.. after drinking ones own bath water

Take it and walk on

MFC 8  Carlscum 0

We didn't do it well but we did it. That's all I care about right now. 

Goodwin & co have plenty to analise from today, we need to look at forward structures when they drop a man back, but ultimately we were the better team and showed it when it mattered. 

2-0 feels a lot better than 0-2!

They learnt a bit in the last quarter, we shouldn't have won

But we did. 

Goodwin has had a great introduction to senior coaching

Brendan Bolton is a dam good coach.

I think Brayshaw can really play.  Got another head knock though, bandaged.  Really hope he gets a good run.

A wins a win......but yuk.

Better than losing. We may need those 4 points in 5 months

I think a game like today shows that we miss Bernie vince when he gets reported. Don't get me wrong, I like that he snipes, I just wish he got away with it.

Good or bad, it's nice to be unbeaten albeit after 2 rounds

OK. Didn't see it that way, but if so... hey, he gets they nice guy award from the world and the 'you're a smart boy' from the club. Nice

Brayshaw did nothing at all yet you want Watts out who was crucial for is in that last qtr.

Mind boggling

  • 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.
