I see Stretch has had 11 disposals ... how has he been playing

thanks

He's been doing stretch things. Solid, playing as a link man in our defence to attack transitions. Definitely not a shoe-in for selection, but in the mix.

 

46-92

6 goals to 1 this quarter


How good was Hibberd there on Waite?  Terrific stuff.

I've also been impressed with how quiet we've kept their tall forwards today as well.  They have barely gotten a look in.

Killing them. I hope this is an indication of how good we will be in 2018. Already set a date to go to the North game

Hubbard absolutely schooled Waite there.

It was great play from the Old Mother!


Fritsch kicks his second on the siren. 52 point lead.

Absolutely smashed them that term.  Granted, we had a pretty good breeze behind us, but it was the clinical way we put them to the sword in that term that really impressed me.  

Interested to see how we play out the game, but they've shown us enough to suggest we have the capability to improve on last year's output.

Ron L?

Fritsch vs the Cats, it will happen.


Love it when we double their score. I think maybe now the game safe in our keeping, bring on some of the new kids and maybe some experimentation in position changes to see how they’ll work.

Is anyone else watching this on Foxtel and if so, are you getting a broken feed? I’m guessing it’s a problem at their end because the commentary’s not affected.

Fantastic spread of goalkickers. We've had 10 all up for our 15 goals.

Hogan 3, Fritsch 2, Neal-Bullen, 2, Harmes, 2, Hannan, Melksham, Vince, T.McDonald, Petracca, Bugg

Harmes is playing the wing much better. Stretch just doesn't take the game on enough. He has also kicked 2 behinds from gettable set shots.

I want it to happen too, but can we fit him in?  Garlett is an automatic inclusion down there, while Melksham and Bugg have shown enough to suggest they might be ahead of him.  Same goes for Hannan.

It will be tough to select a side in Round 1, but what a good thing that is!

Think there is a whole lot of really valuable team stuff going on.  Hannan blocking for Fritsch, running in numbers, getting to the right places.  This pleases me more than individual efforts.  Now to hold them against the wind by controlling the play.  

 

 

Fritsch and Hannan are very dynamic players who are hard to match up on. I am loving the look of a forward line

  • 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.
