Disappointed to be having to watch the game on my phone; at least the AFLW can be viewed on laptop.  It is only a practice game for Pete's sake

Thanks Fox Footy. I just got over Round 23. 

Fantastic opening to the telecast!

 

 

Was looking forward to seeing Balic. Says a lot about where he is in the pecking order 


Loved that pack mark from Gawny. Even more than his ruck work, that's what we missed the most from him last year I reckon.

Neal-Bullen opens up our account for 2018!

Nibbler  is a gun!!!

Edited by Demon77


ANB is just continuing his ridiculous upward trend from last year. He went from a depth nobody to a first-picked player in about 12 weeks. Contributed to both our goals so far today too.

Absolutely loving this start.  Pressure is great, hitting targets and converting.

Yep. It's only early but we look a class above North right now.

Good start by Lewis.

Shite kick there though.

Haha Trac's a beast to be able to push off Majak Daw. That bloke is enormous.

Could have been 50 as the North bloke was over the mark, but yes, not a great kick.  I'll put that down to it being in Feb.

Trac just took a super mark one on one from some great transition... and missed.  Not like him to miss that!

We're looking dominant. Similar to last year though, we're dominating ball, dominating play, ball isn't leaving our forward half... but we're not capitalising on the scoreboard. Should be 6 goals up by now. 

Lever looking great. Also Lewis and Nibbler looking good.

  • 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 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.
