The crows always take 2 m over the mark with no consequence, we consistently hang 5-10m back from the mark.

 

11 rounds in  and it has finally clicked.  But still a half to go.

Get the job done  vs Crows and  then get back possibly all of Lever , May and Salem for QB.  Finals will be in our sights.

Effort in the last third of that quarter was brilliant. Everyone cracked in hard. Few skill errors/decisions and we could be another three goals up.

 

Just slow cooked and ate the most amazing lamb shanks whilst watching the footy. 

At last our football is looking as tasty as those shanks. 

Let’s keep it up boys!

    Rough as guts but he's competing hard

    First game back in how long? He has some upside. 


    Forward line looks Dangerously dangerous for the first time in a while.

    Jeffy and Weed doing great.

    I thinks sometimes it’s just finding that perfect balance.

    A good quarter. Oliver and Gawn just smashing it. Hannan does look a tad rusty but that's to be expected first game back. 

    Them losing Sloane helps. Memo to the ch7 camera man. Keep it on the footy. Christ nearly missed Jeffy's goal when Petracca passed it over because we had to see Pyke in the coaches box. 

    anyway lets keep it going melbourne. So far so good. 

    Crows have applied basically no pressure so far. Our midfield is dominating.

    Game would be over if Tom Lynch wasn’t playing. He’s been there only really good player. 

    Sloane out is big - need to take advantage of this and put it beyond doubt this 3rd qtr.

    A lot of players that were copping early flak from you lot, have done some redeemable things. All except one. Are we watching Omac’s last game tonight?

    This year, shank has had a completely different meaning for us. Thanks for reclaiming it for a much greater purpose.

    Yep, been better than the likes of Spargo, Stretch and Hannan.

    I was thinking Stretch was playing a role in defence and on the wing rather well. But there you go.

    how is weid doing great

     

    Hot Slippery conditions is going to really stretch the fitness of the group later in the night. They’re down Sloane, which is a lucky break fr us. Go dees. Let’s bring this one home and light up a bit of hope fr the season! 

    Looks like the Viney of Old so far.

    Marking, tackling and kicked a goal.

    This is exactly the style of play that got us into finals last year and boy when it clicks like it has so far then we look bloody impressive.

    JKH with 12 disposals and really cracking in. Not bad for a bloke in his 2nd game from missing 8 weeks of footy.

    Nathan Jones down back for me is a big win so far. Bilky Stretch also doing well down there also.

    Jeffy back to his brilliant Jeffy best

    I [censored] love Frosty

    For arguably the first time this season bar the odd five minute patch.

    No I am not.

    He always make a good contest and puts in good second efforts.Sometimes it not just kicks and marks.

    He came in last minute and is putting in a good show, even Darcy has been giving him a rap.

     

    Jones looking good at half back apart from that Galluci moment where he just pointed instead of going to defend him himself.

    Are you being serious?

    Just a coup,e of minutes ago i i heard the ABC radio commentators giving him a big wrap. Yuo know, paid objective observers 

    Doing his job. Again. Laid a couple of crunching tackles late in the lst quarter too which should satisy his critiics who think he is not aggressive enough

    Watch with your eyes not your confirmation bias.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
