Fierce Moment of the Week

The club has put a video up on Salem bumping Gray as the fierce moment of the week.

Did anyone rate this play?

It was highlighted on Fox Footy as Gray covered 9.7m to get to the ball while Salem was 3.9m away yet Gray gets to the ball first. Amazing play by Gray but I find it strange that we are highlighting this bit of play.

    What else is there to highlight?

    We were that poor I would rather they didn't have one than put forward an unwarranted effort.

    There would have been a few fierce moments in lounge rooms last night.  It's a shame they can't highlight those instead.

    Was it really though? 

    I get the whole "still putting his body on the line when the game was already over" thing, but who kept their feet and came away with the ball after the collision?  Salem. 

    Gray was down on the ground winded.

    Yes, if you listen to Ken Hinkley and look at the intent throughout the game and the result. They wanted it more than us and that's not usually the reason we lose but last night it clearly was.

    It’s a joke right. Salem takes short steps and Gray goes hard. 
     

    By the way, the video - Melbournes goals - is Only 1 minute 15 seconds. That’s how poor it was.

    For a while last night I thought they'd have to release an "All the Goal" video this week.

    I think Lockart's attack on the ball in the first quarter was a lot more fierce.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
