He’ll go to Mitchell. I think Neal-Bullen will go to Isaac Smith 

He did a great job on a similar player in Lachie Whitfield

    Someone has to take Smith...

    Harmes has the weapons to do it, not sure who else.

    ...or stop his supply?

    Smith just put a target on himself when interviewed and asked about the Demons pressure..

    ”I reckon we’re alright at pressure ourselves, maybe you should be asking Melbourne that.”

    That is licence to shitmix him.

    Nothing like a back-handed compliment!  LOL

    That sounds more like Rod Grinter style, Bazz

    vandenBerg on Smith for me.  He has far better pace than given credit for round these parts, he has a great tank, he's the same height, and he can absolutely physically work him over.

    vandenberg confirmed this morning on SEN that Goody had him playing wing due to his tank and let's face it Smith will only get to use his elite speed on a handful of times and not at all if he's constantly under pressure.

    I may be wrong, but I could see a vandenBerg matchup.

    Forgot about Vanders & if Smith has been making a d...target of himself then Vanders is just the man to accommodate him...

    We shut Mitchell down in Round 4 and lost by 11 goals.

    Mitchell gets a tonne of it but the damage O'Meara, Gunston, Smith, Breust and even Shiels can do is far worse IMO.

    Vanders has an excellent sense of timing for his body pressure, have been pleasantly surprised how few frees he gives away, (I love Bernie, but he has been a tad slow and more likely to give a free away in the same type of play). I think Smith would merde himself a bit, AVB for the job.

    I could also see Vandenberg doing a job on Sicily. Will be interesting to see how they line up.

    This. ANB is the only one with the tank to follow Smith.

    Surely by this stage, the question needs to be asked the other way around.

    Who will Hawthorn try to stop?

    Viney? Oliver? Brayshaw?

    Seriously who do you tag if you're the Hawks?

    Looking at form over the last few weeks, they should be looking to curtail OUR stars, not the other way around.

    I am quite bullish about this game. The way we've gone about it the last few weeks has been tough and brutal.

    • 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?

    • 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.
