Jones - better on ball

T.McDonald - had a presence

Melksham - a limited impact 

Fritsch - versatile and smart

Lewis - steady all game

Garlett - just some cameos

Kennedy-Harris - justified his place

Neal-Bullen - run and pressure

Hogan - very little involvement 

Harmes - wonderful tagging game

Petracca - continued improved involvement 

Tyson - had a go

Brayshaw - becoming a gun

Frost - confident and important 

Gawn - set the tone

Jetta - was rarely sighted

O.McDonald - fortunately rarely required

Oliver - a class above

Salem - important but iffy

Smith - some important touches

Spargo - tried but overwhelmed 

Vince - just a game

 

Joeboy your assessment of Melksham, Fritsch and Garlett makes me wonder if I saw the same game at all.

Melksham and Garlett were amazing at times while Fritta was ordinary for the second week in a row. Maybe carrying an injury.

 

Tyson : had a go

That is Joeboyspeak for BOG ????


Jetta rarely sighted??

Have to strongly disagree on that one.

Frost: very costly throw

Crows were throwing it quite a bit in Q4 (all I have seen so far) but only two were paid, against Jones who failed to control a slippery bar of soap, andFrost who I must say I thought handballed it.

I think this is pretty spot on. Melksham stiff though.

Frost - pluses outweigh minuses

Lewis - Good for once

OMac - Pants Jelly Jenkins

Tex - Saw Frosty’s dust

Melb - Monkey off back

Spargo - Let tackles slip

Brayshaw - elusive and elite

Oliver - nothing to add

Hogan - Trade in October

i'm not even gonna bite on the hogan thing. i hate his work ethic and he backed out of a lot of physical contests tonight when he needed to go hard.

Jones - missed captains goal

T.McDonald - accurate goal kicking

Melksham - costly banana miss 

Fritsch - love his versatility 

Lewis - handy early goals

Garlett - stop bloody fumbling

Kennedy-Harris - liked him back

Neal-Bullen - orgasm after goal

Hogan - almost embarassing presence 

Harmes - effort effort effort

Petracca - gradually getting better  

Tyson - didn't get pinged

Brayshaw - australia's fav dreamteamer

Frost - costly threw footy

Gawn - basically just hitouts

Jetta - smartly rushed behind

O.McDonald - anti-clutch set shot

Oliver - some crafty gathers

Salem - costly kicking decisions

Smith - just a game

Spargo - several missed tackles

Vince - smart sideways kick


Frost- deserves more love

Come on guys. Frosty isn't in many best 22 conversations, yet here he is getting the job done for us in our 22. Makes some mistakes, but overall has been a huge positive down back. His run and carry is a bonus given none of his direct opponents will ever catch him.

He is actually pretty exciting to watch when he is up.

All players make mistakes, earning his spot imo.

Jesse, was ill during the week, plus he copped a knee in the back last week.

no excuse. he was good enough to play and he was shocking before any knocks. a very polarising player, some love him but his work ethic is poor and he is soft for a big guy. needs to lift

Fritsch only had 8 disposals, which surprised me. I’d say every one of them was important, because I thought he was pretty good on the night.

Melksham was much better than joyboy gives credit for this week.

melksham was good. i just wished he kicked that snap in the last qtr coz i knew it was gonna come down to the wire 

Clayton Oliver - Machine, Robot,  incredible.

Clarry is in a level of his own.

  • 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.
