I doubt you see a realist.


Viney - tom mitchell who

Jones - the quiet achiever

T.McDonald - hero we needed

Melksham - a clutch player

Brayshaw - quiet but good

Spargo - same as above

Weideman - more to come (Same as last week)

Petracca - couldn't be stopped

Neal-Bullen - very quiet game 

Gawn - game of moments

Hannan - competed for everything

vandenBerg - kicking was poor

Harmes - great three quarters

Salem - best kick alive

Fritsch - brave and ambitious

Frost - won his battle 

Hibberd - quick and clean

Jetta - never gets beaten

Lewis - safe and tough (he learned what free kick hawthorn is)

O.McDonald - Tough and composed

Oliver - proper [censored] head

Tyson - looked very sore (big last qtr but)

Just wanted to say i think everybody competed tonight. It's all that you can ask for really. Hannan had 6 touches but i think he flew for 5 or 6 marks and created a contest every time. Same as Tyson, he may not be quick or as clean as our other mids but he chased everything and did what he could.

Then you and I are in a minority.  You can add Mitch Duncan and Josh Caddy while you are at it.

Breust is only ever icing on the cake.  In a dominant team, he will kick 4.  MFC supporters and many others have been sucked into his actual individual brilliance.  This guy would have done zilch if he was at Melbourne for most of this decade.

Go to any hot hard final that Hawthorn has played in, and he has done nothing other than the odd 'joe the goose' over the top.

Come on Spargo 2 involvements. Try 7

Mate, I gave Spargo the glass-half-full treatment.

 

If I was brutally honest, the 3 words he would have got from me was "Lucky to Play"

For a glass-jaw like you, just accept the '2 important contributions'.

Tyson is a whipping boy but is needed in the clinches.

Tyson has to 'know his limitations', and sometimes doesn't.

Unlike Vanders, he is so easy to tackle.  Hence, Tyson shouldn't take the tackler on.  Tyson is also treacle.  Lewis might actually have him for pace.  Hence (II) Tyson's radar/antennae for footy awareness must be on-song.

So…Jetta's BOG for beating a bad player? Right.

Not bad JB. Agree with most.

Tyson was good in the last. Lucky for him or else he might have gone out.

Melk sat on Sicily according to Goody in the presser so whilst he was quite he did his job as Sicily didn't hurt us.

Fritter made a few bad errors but jeez he has good hands and reads the ball beautifully. Great move putting him down back. 

Omac - aka Dr Cool - played a super committed game. Got pole axed big time at one point in the second q and wobbled up to fight another contest. Ahe is a really nice kick. Fritter, Omac, Salem, Hibberd and Jetts are all good reliable kicks which is super important coming out from our back half. 

The back six and maxy saved us in the second quarter with their fantastic desperation. 

I nearly considered putting Melksham in my votes for his performance because he substantially diminished Sicily's influence. I thought he played a super, selfless game. The two goals in the last were icing on the cake (unless you're a channel Seven commentator in which case, it's "cream on the cake".)

and he should get some math tutoring

I will consult with my English tutor about the non-pluralisation of the word "math" and starting sentences with the lower-case conjunction that is "and".

Stay tuned.

Gee wiz, who was I a tad negative about?

Fritch and Tyson.  1 week later, Fritch is dropped and Tyson conceded he was "nervous" about his selection.

 

 

Your optometrist only sells rose-colored devices.

I was referring to your comments about Spargo which were way off the mark. But I doubt you will listen.

  • 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.
