They should just put the padlock on the gates at GC, let the kids go back to their home state to their families.

    Sydney are rubbish.  If we can't beat them then we don't deserve to play finals.

    My only issue with today was our kicking inside 50.  It's still poor.

    Huge man crush on Brayshaw. 

    Thought he was really good today and so far this season.

    A strong win against weak opposition today.  Sing the song:  enjoy the win:  recover well;  review the game;  and move on quickly to prepare for next Sunday arvo at the 'G".  The demands increase every week from now on boys.  Go Demons.

    If we beat the Swans AND some other results happen next week are we mathematically LOCKED IN?

    Anyone who wants Gaff at Melbourne next to Gus Brayshaw needs to think again.

    If we beat the Swans, the Hawks beat Geelong and the Dogs beat the Kangas, we will be locked in to the finals after next round.

    Edit -  unless we lose our last two games by 10+ goals and Geelong win their last two by 10+.

    The AFL has a bit of a problem on its hands with this GCFC experiment.

    1 beat Swans - go to 52 points. 

    2. Hawthorn beat Geelong. Cats stay on 44

    3. Footscray beat North. Kangas stay on 44. 

     

    Then - either one of them must win both last 2 games AND makeup 12.5 % if we lost last two and surrendered 12.5%. 

    Go Dees

    Hawks

    Dogs

    About 5-10mins ago sue, so about 15min mark of 3rd. You’ll see a replay soon enough anyway

    Great work, got the job done. Now the real work starts.

    Shame about Smith, was looking promising today, just needs to tidy up his decision making/disposal. Hopefully it’s a confidence thing.

    Clayton Oliver is that good! 

    Would say it was a Dusty/Dangerfield display... but it was a Clayton Oliver display.

    Smashed their confidence in the 1st and just preserved ourselves for next week and beyond.

    Joel Smith the only blemish. Hope the lad is ok, doesn't look good tho.???

    Great game and always, it is fantastic to have a win - and one so convincing as this game against the Suns. However, we must all wish Joel a complete, speedy recovery from a 'dangerous tackle' slinging him to the ground. His game, today, was the best he has played for the MFC with some great intercepts and running pick-ups, good disposals and coverage of his opponents. Well done - best wishes with the recovery.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • 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.
