JFK topped the tackles

 

Pretty good this week joeboy.  I think you're a little harsh on Jetta, only because I think him being unsighted is a good thing.  It means he's playing his role down back and doing it with minimal fuss.

Otherwise it's pretty much spot on from the snippets and highlights I've seen and read.


Frost still turns it over. He’s looking pretty good but next week will tell a clearer tale

Didn’t see anything get past OMac so not sure what you’re saying there

Please back this up with a Qtr and approx times. I did break the seal but I only saw the JL momentum killer that ended in a Dogs goal.

 

Omac- Strong and Dependable

Punched well, bodied well, I thought he played well. 

 

Frost - Disposal lets down

Used his pace well and strong in the air but very sloppy by foot.  Hope he improves in this area because I'm a fan.

I agree.  Frost does turn it over.  But I am comforted by the fact the Frost can get back to the goal line to pressure a certain goal.  He will improve with continuity and faith.  More important than that is Frost is essential to our team that presses, yet needs to get back to goal when the opposition cut through.

That is Frost.

Maybe TELL HIM to kick it to them ( opposition ) ;)

That's a fresh interpretation of the word surpassed I'm assuming?  ?

Lewis - stop falling over

Bernie has been a great contributor during tough times, but he’s rapidly declining now. Lack of an obvious replacement at Casey is his best hope for continuing this season. What’s his contract situation next year?


I have not been a great fan of Frosty, but have never ever doubted his efforts. He has been better since returning because he provides abig strong bloke ib defence. However his disposal does leave a little bit of improvement. Maybe we learn to use his good points and cover for any deficiencies

Take exception to the above. Applaud your 3 word analysis with the rest who aren’t quoted. ??

 

Mine on these:-

Jones - perhaps his worst

Vince - kicking was inefficient

Frost - doesn’t think ahead

Hibberd - Few deplorable/costly decisions 

JKH - One good tackle. (Fullstop!)

Oscar - Only one error

 

Jones - Was quite quiet

Hogan - presented and converted

T.McDonald - could've kicked more

Garlett - converted but quiet

Neal-Bullen -  a slight slump

Spargo - a handy inclusion

Hannan - often goes missing

Lewis - great and terrible

Melksham - important opening goal

Oliver - showed kicking skills

Petracca - working through slump

Fritsch - 2 bad misses

Vince - played his part

Brayshaw - got brownlow votes

Frost - size and speed

Gawn - clearly surpassed grundy

Harmes - why the haters?

Hibberd - safe and important 

Jetta - battered and bruises

Kennedy -Harris - great tackling display

O.McDonald - always scares me

Salem - elite foot skills

  • 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.

  • 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.
