Jake the Snake killing it in the midfield. Jack Watts like in his delivery but mad as a cut snake around the ball.

    Two players stood out the most:

    Tim Smith.  Clunked some marks and used it pretty well.  Can he cement a spot as a third tall?

    And I've loved Goodwin's move of giving Hibberd the job on Martin.  He's kept Dusty quiet while also winning a bit of the bill himself.  Great to see Goody trying a few different things.

    Over ran a ball, then missed a handball, otherwise going well for his new contract negotiations!

    Once again being murdered by the umps. 

    Weid needs to watch Tim Smith take a mark. 

    When Oliver can be tackled around the ankles and no free kick that says it all.

    Can we sustain this intensity in the second?

    At the risk of sounding like a broken record, he is the WORST special comments person on air.  Loves the sound of his own voice, points out the bleeding obvious and can't say it succinctly.  Has to waffle on and on to make his point.  Can't stand the bloke.

    The uncontested turnovers are absolute killers.  We must have had a handful already.  Just bombing it from defence and it just comes straight back in.  

    No run from behind the ball.  One or two too many at the coal face.  Need at least one of those coming off the back of the contest for the receive and ideally another forward of the contest (Geelong are brilliant at this in defence).  Get it forward by hand and commence overlap and create run

    Lets stitch Harmes and Petracca together like Siamese twins after this season.   I want them to Trac square fore 3 months after the season.  

    Should see an improvement, immediately after removing the sutures.

    Our general field kicking may be the death of us.  Clean it up FCS!

    With the election coming up, I'm thinking of forming my own political party. The 'Get Ling Off The Air Permanently Party'. I only need 500 members to register.

    Let's be honest - we're not the cleanest side at the best of times, and this dew is playing havoc with us at the moment.  Can't fault the endeavour one bit, but if we don't clean it up a little, then we can't win this game of footy.

    • 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.
