I stand corrected

Me too , Sorry Sam I really didn't think you were going to make it. How wrong was I ?  A truly brilliant game.

    BUMP

    Che??? Can't see why you went back so far to quote me. At the time Weid could well have been considered whipping boy. Nothing to see here

    Upward trend with the Weeds - thats for sure. Last 3 games have got better and better.

    Jesse will have to wins his flags with Casey. Can't fit him in the 22 now

    Harsh

    No doubt with Jesse not being the required target the team balance has changed and we’ve become more threatening probably because we’re less predictable.

    Jesse had been going up the ground more to become a more versatile player prior to his injury and when you consider his better application to chasing and tackling this year, the signs are there that he will be a real contributor next year.

    Long Live Jesse !

    How can we honestly fit Max, Hogan, Tmac and the Weid all together

    We can't it's a ridiculous structure, far to top heavy for the modern game.

    Maybe time for Hogan to go back...

    A standout performance like that  in a final is worth ten home and away matches.  We could have a pretty special player on our hands here...

    Going to be referred to over and over now. He's starred in a game that was ferocious, was either best on or in the bests depending on your point of view, against the best D in the game... in a final. That's it. You can't question his pedigree anymore.

    Easily. Jesse would dominate as a roving third tall, his tank would allow him to run between mid and forward and create a real nightmare for opposition match-ups.

    If I was his manager I wouldn't let him get stuck in the VFL for half of next year after his performances of the last three weeks.

Weideman is an absolute star, his VFL games have been insane and Key Position players take a few years to develop well....He will be a key player for many years to come, im drunk as hell but what a fan[censored]tasticgame by Sammy!!!!

    And Preuss!

    I think Jesse goes to a wing and pushes forward at times. Same as T Mac!

    Haha how far has this thread come from the start of the year me asking why I hadn’t heard much about him over pre-season! He’s definitely not the forgotten man now! What a way to have a break out game and announce yourself!

     The modern game hasn't happened yet. Who would have thought a bunch of fast 5 footers would win Richmond a Premiership, maybe 2 at the end of 2016? All of Hogan, Weideman and McDonald are very mobile. Exciting times ahead. I suspect quite a rivalry between us, Richmond,  Collingwood and GWS will develop over the next decade. Oh yes and and I was an early doubter of Weideman but boy was that first quarter fantastic

    I can't believe how good Sam was. Absolutely insane. 3 goals, 24 disposals, 7 marks, 3 contested, 2 marks inside 50, 4 tackles, 2 clearances 70% disposal efficiency.

    I knew he had talent, but for him to rise to the occasion in an elimination finals game, and be one of our best is so awesome for Weed's momentum and confidence going forward. So excited to see how he develops further. Not sure how we fit all of Weed + Hogan + Tmac into the side.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • 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.
