Neal-Bullen continues to be a chain killer.  Every period of good clean possession ends when he gets it.

It's either a fumble or a ridiculous attempt at a handball.

 

He’s doing ok. Hibberd and Vanders look to be battling. I hope they play Hore in the second half. Spargo also AWOL.

 

However, one big positive have been Langdon and Tomlinson, especially in their roles:

30 disposals and 11 marks between them roaming up the wings.  Absolutely what we've been crying out for.

Disposal is a little shaky at times but, again, that can be forgiven a little due to the time of the year and conditions. Great pick ups for the club.

    Yes some familiar Weid and Anb footy. 
     

    Langdon is the real deal.  Fritsch is ready to kick 4-5!
     

    Lockhart is a lock for round 1 imo.

    What happened to vanders says he was subbed off with injury on AFL Site

    The AFL website does that all the time.  Says they're injured, then two minutes later they're back on the field.  It's annoying.

    ANB's tank still strong, getting to a lot of contests

    more than ever, but he still has no polish and that hurts us as a team.  We are so light on for skilled players.

    If we're going to improve we can carry players with sub-par skills.

    What in gods name is that free for???

    That umpire was stolen by gypsies as a child. The gypsies realised he was no good and left him in the forest for the bears to raise.

    The bears rejected him and wouldn't even eat him. He had no proper upbringing and developed neither acceptable social skills nor the ability to interact with decent folk. The AFL saw his potential to be a field umpire where his background and skill set wouldn't be any sort of hindrance. 

    Here he is tonight making soft decisions leading to a Hawthorn goal. Should we expect anything different ??? Hell no.

    He’s off getting some WD 40 for rust.

     

    Langdon while good, his disposal by foot has been poor. Tomlinson has been good.

    Lockhart BOG for me. Has been stiff by these maggots.

    The game has been very sloppy though. Play like this against WC and we'll get slaughtered.

    Yea I’m not watching the game just reading updates on here and checking AFL Site, so there is nothing wrong with him

    AFL site saying Vanders injured. Update?

    Anyone think we rest Gawn and May for the second half?  Or do we give them another quarter?

    Maxy running laps must be done for the match

    Maxxy was doing laps at ht , being rested for Jackson

    Disposal has been worse than Langdon, both getting to good positions and providing an outlet.

    Vanders hurt his foot. Kicked it into someone and saw him grab it straight away.

    It’s a pretty ordinary looking game. It’s a good physical hit out but I’m not seeing too much to get excited about in our style yet bar real endeavour. 


    Tomlinson missing targets but Langdon kicking over his shoulder. Thats [censored]. May trying to drill passes too low and intercepted.

    Th at half volley mark against him was red hot. Not paid then what was he supposed to do?

    • 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.
