Majak Daw has no idea and is already so petrified to get into a tussle with Trac that he's giving away frees.

 

We have so much quality on every line. Very strange feeling as a Melbourne supporter.

They're flooding our forward line. 

Great pre-season tactics...... what a bunch of flogs

And yet I still feel like we're nqr...

I felt that way about Richmond all year last year too. Never rated them until the final siren blew on GF day.


Melbourne vs Billy Hartung at the moment.

 

Jeez.... getting shredded by Billy Harting. Embarrassing!

Still same problem as last year, dominate play but don't capitalise on the scoreboard. Bloody frustrating.

Something has to be done about the rebound goal.

Richmond were successful in pushing teams wide on the rebound that allowed for a forced boundary throw in and reset.

To dominate a game and give away 5 relatively easy goals is not smart football.

Hogan looking dangerous, just wish he was a bit more selfish and would have a shot more often. Hope he can stay fit and healthy this year, he's a big presence out there for us.

no forward line structure at all

The wind is ridiculous. 


We've been dominant but unable to hurt them on the scoreboard. Same old same old. 

Harmes kicks an important goal.

harmes workrate amazing there

Fair gather and kick from Buggy there too.

Considering how little AFL games they get each year, the crowd is tiny. Last year’s one in Casey was packed. I thought North had a considerable following in Tassie. Maybe I might have to reconsider my support for a Tasmanian AFL team.

 

Wagner won’t play round one. 

Trac is sublime, Nibbler has been very good, stretch shows a bit, Gawn is playing well.

Haven't seen Lewis since early in the 1st.

Injured?

  • 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.
