The hoodoo, ladies and gentlemen, is over.  Just soak that in for a moment.

The one thing I think we can be proud of with this win was, when the game was on the line in the last term, our leaders stood up.  Lewis was terrific, not just with the goal he kicked but with his ability to identify that we needed to slow it down and take the right option.  Jones just kept running and running and running and drove us forward.  Gawny was also immense.

And we had others stand up for us as well.  Hogan was excellent.  Salem was terrific in the gut with 8 clearances.  Bugg with 4 was a revelation, while Kent totally justified his selection with 3 goals and some great work across half forward.  Vince was another who stood up, while Oliver fought through the tag to snag two at the end.

Really, you could list most of the players (can't forget Wagner either who played his best game for the club), but when our backs were against the wall after coughing up 4 goals, we absolutely smashed them.  It was great to watch.

Hoodoo done and dusted.  Enjoy every minute of it, then on to the Hawks next weekend!

18 goals to 9 after that awful start.

33 scoring shots to 21, +21 inside 50s, +35 CPs, +10 centre clearances.

Actual leadership in the fourth.

18 goals but only 1 kicked by Hogan.

Kent returning and looking like an AFL player (consistency is the next step). Bugg kicking 4.1.

Surely we can be pleased with this.

The 'hoodoo' is dead, despite that mob having 26 on the park.  Proud Demon tonight!!

Gawn was just incredible. Incredible everywhere. One of his best ever games. 

Loved the chains of composure with some of our younger players. 

Jones was great, good captains game. 

Hogan 2nd BOG for me behind Gawn. 

Can’t believe the ball went straight off Bugg’s boot a whole 4 times. 

Love  tubby Kent, welcome back. 

Frost v Hunt selection was the correct one. 

May North [censored] off and never beat us again.

Good win after coughing up a 4 goal head start (again).

Special mention to Wagner who was great.

And also Bugg, who I thought was lucky to stay in the team.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
