    And I second that. Amazing. God he has a go. Given he's got what appears to be a rather fragile, giraffe-like build, he just throws himself into everything. Should be an inspiration to the rest of the slackers.

    So hoping he gets all-Oz again.

    Ditto. (And Max was extremely unlucky to lose out to Treloar for the trophy.)

    6.  Big M  - difficult to watch this bloke trying to lift us in a match so often and not many able to go with him.  Hats off to the bearded wonder!

    5.  Clarry -  Too many handballs that result in wasted possession and needs to learn how to kick to a target.   But without his ability to get to so many contests and hold up play until the calvary arrives we would get slaughtered!

    4.  Harmes - as above but great work rate around the stoppages providing 2nd and 3rd efforts.  Unfortunately too many turnovers killed off some of the good work.

    3.  Tracc - fabulous first half playing IN THE MIDDLE.  Finally looked dynamic, powerful and "On" with the ability to break tackles and run off into space, assess then kick to advantage.  His turn of speed then torp to Jeffy out of the middle for the joe the goose shows he has got it.  The Goody game style doesn't help him stay fresh however and faded in the second half.

    2.  Gus - cleaned things up a little in the second half and finally looked a little like old self.

    1.  Fritsch - ugly decision making at times but never threw the towel in and got plenty of the ball in the open (which i can't say many others managed to do well aside from Salem, Harmes & Gus....the Pies killed us in the uncontested gets then toyed with us afterwards).

    Our kicking for goal was soul sapping.

    6 Gawn - fired up after Robbo went for Grundy as AA pick ahead of him. Both are certs. But Max has shown why he's starting 18 with Grundy on bench.

    5 Harmes - had a great battle with Treloar for much of game and his run was super damaging.

    4 Brayshaw - how composed was he all game. Reminiscent of 2018 at last.

    3 Fritsch - finally played like his pre-season form suggested. 

    2 May - how good was it in the first half having a defender who wins in the air. Now we know why we got him.

    1 Petracca - Our only real link between middle and forward and again worked his butt off only to be let down by the odd bad choice of disposal.

    Olly was prolific and was almost brilliant, but still fell back on handball instead of taking the game on himself and kicking to a lead. Gave away a couple of stupid frees as well.

    So many useless possessions in this game,  headed by Oliver and Brayshaw.  A great reminder to ignore people who bring up 'supercoach' stats.

    Negative votes to Jones, T Mac, Garlett, Hunt , Viney and Hibberd.

    • 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.
