The Casey Demons made it ten wins on end and secured a stranglehold on a top two placing and home finals with a magnificent come-from-behind victory over Geelong VFL at GMHBA Stadium.

The Cats had led the game from the seven-minute mark of the opening quarter and led by as much as 28 points during the third term. The Demons managed a solitary goal in the opening half and by the final break they had managed only three goals. 

They started the last quarter with a flourish and managed to bring up their next three goals to Jay Lockhart, Sam Weideman (his second for the day), Cory Machaya in less than ten minutes to draw to within three points of the home side. Casey had been subdued for much of the game and playing to a losing ruck in the absence of Mitch King so for most of the game they were being beaten badly at the stoppages but suddenly they had come back to life. Cam Pedersen was the team’s lifeblood.

The Cats were not to be denied and they scored their only goal for the quarter but the Demons responded through Pat McKenna, his first since joining the club in a trade with GWS Giants. There followed a long period of wrestling back and forth without a score until Mitch Gent’s goal gave them the lead with two minutes left on the clock for the first time since early in the first quarter. 

Apart from Pedersen, the hero for the club was James Munro who played a solid four quarter game. Lockhart and Cory Wagner were consistent on the day and youngsters Cory Stockdale was impressive in the second half. Declan Keilty was strong in defence while Tim Smith worked hard all day and even had a stint in the ruck when the team was struggling in the mid part of the game.

The Demons have a this week and look poised to continue their strong run to the finals with hopefully a few players returning over the next fortnight.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
