The Demons return to enemy territory. The last time I went to that ground Jakovich lined up on Gary Pert. Who would have thought back then that Pert would be our CEO now.

    I remember the last time I was at Vic Park. I am sure it was 1992 when we were down the bottom half and they were 1st on the ladder. We won with Sean Wight kicking the sealer. Don't know the last time we played there but it was around that time. Considering going but it is a fair hike but for memories sake. All the venemous filth sitting in their grand stand was quite a sight.

    Taking my nearly-4 yo girls to their first footy game today. Last night I presented them with their first MFC jumpers as my heart burst with pride on such a momentous occasion!

    Lucky Paxman is playing, we could be on 0.

    Paxman and O'dea doing the damage in the middle. Phillips has been very good as well. Pearce dominating the ruck.

    I hope the Dees players don't mind cold showers.

    Well done Dees beating the Filth comprehensively. How good was O'Dea?❤️Pearce is a pretty handy footballer as well. Keep it going Dees I want to see finals.

    Far better performance from the mids taking away the Pies style of play (they love to keep it in tight and march it forward). Pearce and O'Dea were excellent but the midfield group in general got the pressure and effort right.

    Backline did very well although the Pies forwards aren't a big threat. Edmonson looks a player. Lampard took a step up. Liked Kemp at half back.

    Forward line still not perfect but really good pressure and created chances. Hanks is a little beauty.

    And more than anything it was a disciplined team effort keeping the ball to the dead side for 2 quarters in to the wind and then using the open side with the breeze.

    Footy doesn't have to be pretty and playing the percentages is often what's needed. The Pies couldn't get it to the fat side or get anything going when they had the wind, they couldn't stop our girls hitting the open space when we had the scoring end.

    If it wasn't for Brazill the margin would've been 4 goals more.

    Yes Chantel Emonson looks like she’ll be very good.  Played well against Roos too, who look like the team to beat at this early stage.   L Pearce has started the season off really well, expect coaches votes again.  Mithen is a natural footballer and I loved Hanks’ performance.

    Thought Cat Phillips was good today, particularly defensively. 

    Best for mine were Pearce, O'Dea, Cunningham, Hanks, Downie, Mithen, Paxman and Cordner.

    • 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.
