And for all those who thought that having Jeffrey as our president was a good idea:

    Was thinking the same myself SWYL

    Have always whined to myself that we never seem to get the good run with injuries that other clubs get at finals time.

    Things are lining up for us in a way they havent for more than 5 decades.

    Time to make hay is now. 

    Yep. When we met in 2012 it was a long road mate

    On the 109 home. Last stop was Glenferrie Rd. Soooo sweet watching those sukkas skulk off! Hehe 

    I just so happen to live in Hawthorn, so got to look at their salty faces as they got off the 70. Sang the song on the tram, it was brilliant.

    Extraordinary win. Not our greatest win, and the Hawks threw everything at us in the first 10 minutes of the last quarter but the boys kept their heads and just plowed in again and again. 

    Those below-the-knees free kicks absolutely p**s me off so badly. However, as the rule currently stands both should be free kicks to Hawthorn. The rule needs changing to ensure the player SLIDES in, and not just goes the ball.

    The Hawks tried a dirty tactic tonight. Repeatedly, they pinned one of our on-ballers to the ground while the ball was being balled up by the umps. Sicily and Shiels the main culprits.

    Feeling rather good right now.

    4. There is a reason why Spargo keeps being picked
    There were calls for Jeff Garlett to replace teenage rookie Charlie Spargo in Melbourne's line-up for Friday night's semi-final, but that was never going to happen. For all Garlett's match-winning qualities, the Demons' coaching staff rightly prioritise defensive pressure out of their small forwards. Spargo delivers that in spades and complemented those efforts with an impressive offensive display, too. He ended the night with 12 disposals (eight contested), three tackles, two goals and seven score involvements.

    Wow! What a game! The boys did a tremendous job. The umpires did their best to turn it on us but they found a way to get through and comfortably. So proud of them. The crowds at both the games have been amazing, never experienced such a great atmosphere. Can’t wait for next week, GO DEES ?

    The kid works his guts out. His pressure was fantastic, and that 50 metre goal immense. We wouldn't have gotten that from Garlett.

    Thought we were well below our best, but got a deserved win.

    Need to play at our potential, better than tonight to beat Meth Coast

    The pressure was there. We were seriously challenged by the Masters of Finals, and pulled away. 

    Finals are not always pretty

    Frosty - torp from full back, down the guts for a goal.

    Spargo's goal from just insides 50 (when I said to my daughter he will set it up because he can't kick that far!)

    Brayshaw's mark and goal in last quarter.

    And Viney - very glad I never played in his era. Frightening footballer. 

    Max's towering mark.

    So many of our boys giving it to Mitchell every chance they got.

    Petracca laughing at the fool Sicily.

    Hibberd's run-and-carry.

    Good teams can win ugly when required. It shows how good we are, because we're deadly when we put it all together. And as the group develops we'll put it all together more often and with greater intensity!

    Never said pressure was not there. 

    Great win, but we can do better

    Petracca needs to improve his delivery into the forward line, on 4 or 5 occasions, straight to Hawthorn players.

    His positives made up for the errors, just those missed opportunities could turn a good game into a great game.

    • 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.
