Smith has been really influential late in the second and early in the 3rd. He's playing a bit of a Brad Miller type role for us if I'm not mistaken.

    Hunt again so dangerous. Jeffry hitting the scoreboard again like he does every week.

    Keep up the hard run and intensity boys!

    Salem with the tackle! Also what's it gonna was take to get a 50?

    It's called turning your man or taking the tackle....he is devoid of evasive skills and confidence with ball in hand and instead always panic gives to either someone about to be set upon or out to no where in particular as soon as there's a bit of heat on.  Has no assets other than staying close to his man but then rarely wins in a one on one.

    May's slackness has cost us in this role big time this year.

    Not going to argue because i agree, he does lack those things,(but what full back would turn west coasts small forwards?) thats why i thought it was his best option. tonight he attacked the ball in a pack of eagles and took the mark. So far he has done a lot more good than bad, and his tackles have stuck. on his performance so far tonight i wont be checking for his name in the outs next week.

     

    one more goal to us , and it blows it open right!??


    Jones was on his own for an eternity. Got to lower the eyes and hit those short targets.

    Where's the BIG man in the square?!?

    The only chance West Coast seems to have of scoring is for us to f things up. And boy we did not disappoint there.


    What a waste that passage was. Can't stand Kennedy.

    Defensive shambles. All because we can’t use the [censored] ball!!!!!!!!!

    • 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.
