Best game since 2018.

 

Tracc and Gawn were immense.

 

Ive seen a few mention it, but I reckon Langdon deserves a heap of praise. Last week was good, this week we saw exactly why we went after him. Runs and Runs and runs and hit his targets today. 
 

also thought Clarry improved as the game went on. Getting better at picking when to handball and when to kick. Still has to be a focus though. 

Definitely an improvement from Oliver, but that handball to Max was a shocker.

    Smashing Hawthorn makes the apocalypse feel way better. 

    Oscar has come in and said listen [censored], don’t listen to what Simon says, this is my world and this is how you’re setting up. 

    Petrecca is something else. The balance and movement plus  explosion stands out likes dogs balls in an era of ugly footy. Really bringing the joy back for me. 

    Gawn took the [censored] all day. 

    Oliver and Viney were a driving force. Bullies. 

    Brayshaw half good half awful. Which one is really him?

    Jackson played a better game than Tomald has for 12 months. Promising stuff. Bennell and Kozzie also played really well up forward. 

    So good to see Weed making a difference. 

    And Langdon played like what Scully should’ve become. 
     

    Speaking of Scully, best part was when a 200 kilo Italian ran away from him like he wasn’t there.

    We've been building towards this kind of display. Can't wait until we do it against a good side. Next week hopefully.

    With Jackson do we actually have one of the few, true 'all rounder' type players.

    If his tank is good enough he can run around with the midfield, kick some goals in the forward line and take some saving marks in defence. Similar to Gawn in a way, but more athletic and dynamic at ground level.

    Exciting!!

    Who are the other 4 above him out of interest? Can’t imagine any of them are bossing games like Trac is at the moment.

    Agree. Which is why I am happy to praise the good work, but coaches must continue to highlight the poor decisions. The want to go back into traffic and create issues for himself and then dump a handball to relieve the pressure, which in turn puts another player under pressure. He has to cut it out of his game, but I will back him to do so, as it’s apparent he is working on it

    Neale wasn't great this week. Still susceptible to a tag.

    I could easily write about the performance of our Hollywood midfield.

    But instead I am going to make special mention of Oscar McDonald. I've been incredibly hard on this kid but he's proved me wrong and making me eat humble pie. He's a complete different player and it's no coincidence that May and Lever are back to their best.

    Well done Oscar, you've shut me up for good.

    Kozzie and Jackson are going to be something else huh...

    Good four quarter effort. That should be minimum expectation.

    Well done Weiderman. Imposing performance.

    Yeah just not inside the defensive 50 to Maxy when he is doing his shoelaces up.

    The way he moves reminds me a lot of Bontempelli, though maybe that's the hair!

    How good is it to have a real wing man that has a tank and is quick? And knows how to find space. 

    I keep hearing about his poor kicking skills but I think he is alright. He was really important in the first half

    Totally agree, it’s not out of his game yet, I’ve conceded that. He needs to continue to review it.

    3-0 with Bennell

    Bennell has never lost a regular season game in a Melbourne jumper.

    • 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.
