Vanders may not have great stats, but he hit hard, stopped a lot of Crows forward movements and when he kicked he generally hit a target. I thought he was good.

    Weid became more effective as the game wore on. He was good in the final qtr. The important point is that he rucked all day, and he negated their advantage. Credit where credit is due. Jackson showed that he can give a chop out. In the first half his ruck work was promising.

    Chest mark in the last 2 minutes? Yes. He played in front, which was good to see.

    Jones and Jetta had minor niggles in the second half, but you would assume they would be fine for the game against the Hawks in Tassie.

    Other than that I think we came out unscathed.

    Disappointing second quarter,  in the first part we did not seem fully interested,  shades of 2019 I thought,   But once we got going and Kossie had a bit of it,  the rest of the game just got better n betterer.

    I had thought, kiss winning in the west on the [donkey],   but maybe not,   If we are within a couple of goals at three quarter   we should run over anyone in the first few games. Then lets see how the rest d the season pans out.

     

    Go Dees 2020 !!

    Jones had a lower leg injury (ankle, foot?). Jetta was in some trouble with apparent jarring in the last but ran it off.

    Not fussed with the result but some very good signs with Trac, Lever, TMac, Oliver being Oliver, Jones up forward, Pickett (small glimpses), Jackson (didn’t do much but his spring in the ruck was very exciting) and lastly the fitness to really run out the game.

    Hard to work out whether Weed played well or not:

    - fair few on here saying was hopeless

    - he had c.20 possessions

    - AFL listed him in our best

     ?‍♂️

    Weid played a great game. Hes a 196cm key forward who had to ruck the whole game against a 202cm genuine ruckman. Once Gawn and Pruess come back in Weid give us another option up forward alongside Brown and McDonald.

    I thought he played well - he still needs to take the bull by the horns and clunk some marks for us, but when you consider the fact that he rucked most of the day, I think he had a positive influence on the game.

    I don't bet personally, but Petracca is at $81 for the Brownlow.

    Just saying.

    i thought he was good. he's under sized for a ruck but he battled manfully all day. dropped a couple of marks but really offered something at ground level around the stoppages I thought.

    Really pleasing to see them play the game out. We were kicking into a fairly stiff breeze in that final quarter.

    Weid was solid playing out of position.  If he had clunked 3 or 4 of those marks when he had first hands on the ball, his game would have gone from 'solid' to very good.

    A lot to like in that game, I thought we were better as the day went on.  A lot to do with fitness but we became less fumbly too.  Petracca would have received the 3,2 and 1 votes he was that good.

    Weid got his hands on plenty but just couldn't stick them, if he had have held onto 3 or 4 of those marks he would have had a good game.

    Add Gawn to that lineup and we win by a lot more, they had a big advantage in the ruck.

    T McDonald will be better for the run, the longer the game went, the better he became.

    O McDonald basically not mentioned on here, which is about the highest praise the poor bloke gets.

    I wince every time AVB tackles someone, it looks like it really hurts.

    Can't wait for the real stuff to start.

    The best part is he got through the game and made some aggressive tackles. 
     

    That will do me for now.

    I swear a lot of people are just sheep aren't they, one person says weed played terrible, then another person just repeat what the other bloke says, without actualy looking at his game, 20 hitout 19 pos, 3 clearances 2 Mark 3 tackles, by a non ruckman agnist one of the top 5 ruckman in 2019, he's actually had a elite game by ruckman great game.

    Failed to make distance from his shot at goal 20m out in pocket...

    The one that he eased across the face and was marked inside the opposite point post?

    Yeah right. You see what you want to see. Confirmation bias 101.

    • 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.
