I love Melbourne.

I love you.

I love a win.

It was one of the most frustrating games to watch in among some good footy and in among some horror football.

But the last two minutes summed it up for me.  The new Trac, kicking the sealer.  Lever and May taking big marks when we needed it.  Then Viney boots it forward to Kozzie who shows maturity in kicking in to Harley.  Love it.  

There is still so much to work on but we won away from home against a side playing good footy.  Love it.

    Thank god.

    AVB, Hannan, Viney all huge and big impact.

    Oscar an important inclusion.

    Oliver and Max had clumsy games.

    Their speed challenged us at times but we held firm.

    Still major concerns about conversion and skill efficiency. Our turnovers continue to kill us.

    1 down for most of the game, good effort.

    Rankine is going to be some player though

    Is it what.  Fantastic debut.  I thought Nev did okay in patches but he was too clever for him on a few occassions.

    Hmmmmm.......not a single moment of that suggests we have come anywhere near the corner we need to turn. Still, a win’s a win, and it’ll give them some confidence. In what, I just don’t know.

    All three had massive second halves.  AVB with some big tackles, Hannan getting back to some of the 2018 form that made him so dangerous, and Viney leading from the front.  Really terrific to see.

    Pickett to Harley.. i jizzed.. 

    That is a bloody good win! Don't underestimate the suns. They're going to be a good side this year and years to come. 

    The composer from Oliver, Hannan and Pickett was simply huge!

    Welcome back Weideman.

    So, we showed a glimpse of what might be if we move it inside 50 with a bit more consideration.

    But Lord, all the polish has been chaos-ed out of this team. It's going to take a while.

    What a game by Viney. 
     

    He totally redeemed himself tonight.

    Kossie to Harley to finish ?

    Couldn't have picked a better finish to the game.

    Still bloody frustrating at times but you could certainly see the message sinking in! Really stoked with how they responded this week, huge step forward.

    • 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.
