I think I would give Harmes a 9 or10 tonight 'Pick'...he beat Selwood up then did the job on Danger.

He's a tough kid and moving along nicely no matter what those who think he should be dropped every week say.

Nobody ever deserves a 0. 

Omac was hung out to dry and still had the composure to take a good mark and kick the ball nicely to Trac with a minute left. He had no help on Hawkins. They should have put Frost or TMac on him one minute into the last quarter. 

I am disappointed that I am yet to see Hogan ever stand up in big games. He is not a pressure player.

Not sayin it was but was comprehensively beaten!! Would Rance have been as compromised??

No because his teammates do not leave him out to dry. When they do, he takes dives and hits players while they’re down.

Just a statistical take on tonight to compare (somewhat objectively lol) to yours PF.  Keep in mind Max would usually place higher as i can't factor in hit outs to advantage.  Harmes played a pretty tough lock down role so his rank is probably skewed as a result.  Clarry a furlong ahead of anyone else and nearly got us over the line with that performance tonight IMHO.....

Which part SW?  The ultimate role of a defender, especially a key one, is to defend and keep your opponent from scoring too often (ie., limit the damage). Struggles to hold the better key forwards in the comp when the question's asked.

Goody stuffed it in part by stubbornly refusing to move him off Hawkins earlier, but O-Mac has to accept part of the blame surely?

Hawkins is a huge man. You cannot expect OMac to match him. Hawkins is twice the size

He ran off him well

Goodwin f@&$ked up not OMac

Bit harsh on the players that got 4 they should have at least got 5. JKH and O.Mac deserve a 0 even Hogan deserves a 0.

I didn't think he ran off him in a damaging sense at all SW.  If he can't handle Hawkins one on one (keep the goal scoring to 3 to 4 max) or any other decent KPF then what is his role in the team?  Goody should therefore not  play him at all.  Would be better off playing Keilty or Pedders in his place and having Frost take the big boys from the get go.

Anyway, it's the same old same old at Demonland.  Whenever a chance to secure a sound spot in the Top 4 or 8 becons, we always blow it.  Still have a very soft under belly against the rated clubs.

MOVE PLAYERS AROUND

OSCAR CAN RUN. 

 

USE IT

He's our full back but he not good enough to play there so he shouldn't be in the team. Frost can't be trusted should be on the second tall. Give Keilty a go at least he has some strength about him.

Jones a 4 is a joke.

Oscar and JKH scores are fair.

Our bottom six are NQR.

Agree. We finally have some players at, or stepping up to, elite level.

Sadly, our bottom six are absolute duds.

Scores for Jones, Milkshake and Brayshaw very harsh

Oscar was a lamb to bad coaching, not his fault, give Goodwin a 0 for that persistence

  • 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.
