1st quarter 

- winning the footy but disposal poor 

- overhandballing still

✅ Harmes on ball (good)

✅ Petracca getting it done. 14 possessions 

- missed tackles are costing us goals 

✅ Pickett is a beauty. Skills. Pace. How’s the leap !!

Oliver’s handball to Gawn then is why he will never be a great player. He chooses terrible options time and time again. He has got worse since he started.

He is too Manic, once he has the ball.   he has to be composed once he wins ball.

    Mix of very good and very poor.

    Intensity was there for 12 minutes.

    Fritta is playing up the ground.

    Salem is cracking in.

    Ball use a couple of times excellent.

    Petracca.

    Bad: Gawn and Tomlinson vying for WoG.

     

    That was an enjoyable quarter of footy. 


    Good Lord I hope bennell gets fit soon. We need his kicking skills more than we need competitive beasts. 

    Am I right in thinking Bedford is a a good kick? If so I'd put him straight in.

    We work so hard for so little result. But we kickec two great goals through agaggresse kicks. I hope they keep it up. Rather lose attacking then lose in a scrappy game of rugby

    Doing well.  Tracc on fire.  We dont ALWAYS have to take the game straight through the middle.  Yes if its there....bit if outlets are closed you are allowed to go laterally or backwards to maintain possession / hold the play up.

    Some cleaner / smarter ball use in the clinches and we're a chance here.

    Steven May would want to do something soon. Getting smashed again. Worried we've made a monumental blunder here. Try him forward, Tmac back

    They look and play remarkably similarly. But Hunt’s hair is much more luxurious. Langdon wishes he had Hunt’s hair. 

    It's all in the Nippy's

    • 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?

    • 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.
