Well done Frosty. Keep sticking it up the haters & the doubters.  Played on their talls as well as Walters at various times and was terrific.  Doubtless, the haters will only focus on the 2 mistakes instead of the 10 positives.

    Was interesting to see May barking at the players in the back 50 and setting them up from all standing bunched together.

    Just need to focus on the younger players and hope like hell they learn to settle and calmly hit their target.

    Noticed that, who does he think he is Jordan Lewis ?

    But that is the value of experience, because Lever is only 70 games approx and some people expect him to be the backline guru

    Frosty was great. Can we please move Frisch forward, his disposal is still a worry down back,

    Agree on both.

    Frost's last quarter arguably won us the game.

    From the top of the ponsford I had a great view of his intercept mark in the last. Made the decision early and backed himself in, then made the next kick. Critical contest as we scored a terrific gogoa l after to tacking it down the ground. 

    I want fritter kicking the ball to out forwards.

    Petty was excellent and May played well. Marty hore was solid again.

    Jones should still be ashamed for that 50 metre penalty. I just watched it a couple of times

    shocking to do that

    Maybe, but only becuase Walters flops every game

    The turn-around in form from a handful who have been down was good.  Lockhart and May were very good.  The desperation was good.  Flying the flag for team-mates was very good.  Hope next week is good!

    Didn't mean to put a downer on it for you guys who watch for the wins in pointless games in failed seasons. Enjoy it.

    Just my opinion that we were fortunate with their injuries. Obviously a win is a good outcome.

    It’s just pathetic that it’s your first and only response to a win. You deserved the whack you got for it.

    Yeah, we were fortunate they were two down. Thanks Captain Obvious. Doesn’t mean we absolutely would’ve lost without it. So what you said isn’t even true.

    Fritsch has gotta stay wing/forward, he had some ripper kicks inside 50 today (whilst also acknowledging some average ones).

    Just plain dumb by a captain who should know better. Walters was always going to go down like he had been shot.

    Yep, we have lost plenty due to injury during a game. I have no problem enjoying this result.

    Wouldn't have won in Freo weren't two players down. 

    Even when we win, we can't win.

    One of our biggest weaknesses is on field leadership and organization. We got Lever and May not only for their footballing ability, but because they’re leaders and generals. Great to see May organizing troops and playing well again today. He’ll be a huge asset for the backline for the next few years. Love him!

    Petracca had a great game today. Really got involved and threw his weight around. Great to see him switched on for longer periods and staying involved. Hopefully this is the start of his return to damaging form.

    It's the story of the year.

    Leading the inside 50's and not kicking enough score to win.

    Maybe this is the resurgence with Viney, TMac and Weed doing well

    Just of late, Petracca seems to have developed a footy IQ. I've been negative about him for a little while now but there are small signs in regards to getting into the right spot, making smart decisions and not trying to do too much in possession.

    12 point turnaround 

    Not what a captain should do. 

    Do it after the goal is scored at least!!

    Feels good to have a win.

    Goes to show that when players such as Viney and McDonald play to their potential we look a much better side.

    Forward line looked much better, with a bit more space and good movement.

    Dumb and all as it was...

    It was better than the first game against Port where we stood by and watched Max cop it from them without a whimper.

    At least we had some passion in the game and Jones was supporting a teammate.

    If I had my choice I would take this.

    • 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.
